Pssst, it's actually the other way around. Seriously :p

If you get the Germans started about the WC they will tease us :(

And no, we don't love the King of Spain

Well, it could be perceived that way and probably was by some of the rebels. But you have to consider that it's a 16th century poem, and in that time you just did not doubt the rule, rights and claims of kings, and kings were believed to be above every other earthly power. By proclaiming his loyalty to the king, William of Orange claimed to only have a quarrel with the emissaries of the king, not the king himself.

And William of Orange was raised by the sister of Charles V, who was the grandfather of Philip II (the king of Spain during the revolution). Also, he was favoured by Charles V and got a command of one of his armies. And he was a longtime member of the court of Margaret of Parma (daughter of Charles V), the governor of the Spanish Netherlands. so yeah, he could say he honored the king of Spain all his life.


/history lesson :lol

shhh Graham I'm still compiling this Radiant map
My friend is a huge Netherlands fan so I'd kinda like to see them win for his sake, but I'll be happy with whatever outcome as long as it's a good game.

Can't believe this shit is almost over already though. Went by so quick.

He was much better than Torres in the semi's :lol

But yes, he (and the other two) needs to show up during the final, if we want to have any change.

They are showing the final in 3D at a Movie Theather in my country. Has anyone ever seen a match in 3D in such a big screen? I'm very tempted to go, but if it's shitty I'm screwed since I won't have time to go elsewhere to watch.

I could watch it at home on a 47' HDTV which is quite nice, but the 3D thing sounds really appealing...

What to do GAF, what to do?

I always took it as "I honored the King of Spain all my life, now he gives me this shit, so fuck him, we're starting our own country."

I only watch the World and Euro Cups. I do know Xavi and Iniesta from name from the last few weeks, but can never recognize many players from other teams besides my own :p

I picked Spain to win it, so go Spain I guess. But I'm really just looking for a good game above anything else.

As a Liverpool fan though, I sort of want Kuyt to have a great game. I don't think he's going to leave like Torres is..

I've been wondering for a while. How come these players wont fix their baldness?

They're paid loads of Euros And I'm positive that the cost of doing that is like buying a sandwhich.
