Once upon a time in a a superior continent called Europe:

Wnger: Huh? what? are you OK in the head, Sir Alex?

Ancilloti: Lol what?

Benitiz: your smoking that, Alex..

Wesley Sneijder: Did someone farted quidriple tast year?

Sir A. ferguson:....

W. Sneijder: Lol, U mad?!

Even before I knew what was going on (orange flag planted on plaza colon), that commercial was very, very annoying. It's difficult to explain why, though. Something about the music (hectic) and the way it was shot (grainy, then stilted). Kinda seems like some scrubs at Nike Holland threw it together in a few days. Anyone else feel the same or am I crazy?

it's one of many in a series by NIKE, called "bloed oranje" and they all look like that.

Main on:
Bleed Orange

Spin off's:
Sneider - Milan
VD Vaart - Madrid
Sneijder bloed oranje
Bezet

 

[CTLance]

Who I think is gonna win: Spain.
Who I'm gonna root for: Holland.

But first: the battle for third place.

 

[Always-honest]

No thread for tomorrow`s match ?

it suits the passion of Urugauy that you want to play that match. You guys actually want to become third.

that's a good thing. I know the dutch wouldn't even care (i'm dutch)

Liked the premise, though. And that really was Madrid.

It is just a bad ad.

Yeah, cause Fergie definitely promised the quadruple after selling Ronaldo. What a pathetic and irrelevant post.

Seriously, what the fuck does Fergie/United have to with the World Cup final? Grow up.

Start one.

WE NEED ONE!

Everytime I see your avatar it makes me love the Netherlands even more that we ended the dream of Uruguay.

Spain are next. Their dream shall end in tears. Netherlands FTW!

Viva España!!

Grant me the pleasure of drinking this one's intoxicating tears!

 

[StickyFingers]

Hup Holland Hup

Aanvalluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh!!

 

[MMaRsu]

Oh, you're afraid. It's ok, don't worry. :lol

Well I'm not as confident in us winning over Spain as over Uruguay .

 

[dschalter]

OMG! :lol

This is so perfect. :lol :lol



Honestly, Holland deserves (yes, I said "deserves." Fuck off.) this World Cup more than Spain. Those two finals they lost in '74 and '78 were just heartbreaking. I mean, during this time they were revolutionizing how positions in professional soccer could be played. It's been over 30 years and here's another chance. Really hope they'll have what it takes to shut down Spain's midfielders.

And now they go around diving/making dirty tackles. I guess Hungary deserves a WC for the "Magical Magyars" back in the 50s.

The diving/dirty tackles remark has to come from someone who hasn't watched a single game from Holland this WC.

Well, I guess this settles the whole FIFA referee scandal!

Head referee: 96 percent of calls correct

DERDEPOORT, South Africa -- Despite complaints about game-changing mistakes and FIFA's agreement to revisit how technology can help officials, the head of refereeing for soccer's governing body says that the World Cup has been a success.

Jose Maria Garcia-Aranda said Saturday that an analysis of the first 62 matches showed referees got more than 96 percent of their decisions right.

"It is a big success," the Spanish official said at a news briefing. "We have to say it is not an opinion [but] facts."

"We are not hiding our mistakes or the mistakes of the referees on the field of play," Garcia-Aranda said in a robust defense of FIFA's officiating program.

World Cup final referee Howard Webb agreed that mistakes had been made but said they were largely isolated.

"There is no point us sitting here as match officials and saying everything is absolutely perfect," said the 38-year-old Englishman, who is one of the few professional referees among the 29 FIFA selected for World Cup duty.

"But it's also right to point out that the vast majority of decisions have been very sound and very correct."

Referees were widely criticized after a series of mistakes in the first half of the tournament.

In the group stage, the United States was denied a likely winning goal late in its game against Slovenia, then a Brazil goal against Ivory Coast was allowed to stand despite two apparent handballs by Luis Fabiano leading up to it. Brazil's Kaka was ejected later in the same match when it appeared he and an Ivory Coast player collided accidentally.

The pressure was stepped up after errors by assistant referees affected the outcome of two second-round games. FIFA will revisit proposals to introduce goal-line technology in response to England being denied a clear goal, which would have tied its match against Germany 2-2 late in the first half. Germany went on to win 4-1.

Italian referee Roberto Rosetti has retired, three years before reaching the mandatory age to step down from duty, after he missed an offside call that allowed Argentina to score its first goal against Mexico. The Argentines went on to win, 3-1.

FIFA did not award control of another match to any of the four referees involved in the main controversies.

Garcia-Aranda said all of the errors have been studied carefully, and the referees' 96 percent accuracy rate favorably with the success of players taking penalty kicks.

Just nine of 15 penalties awarded during matches have been scored, a 60 percent accuracy rate.

"I think the refereeing in this tournament has been more than good," Garcia-Aranda said.

@bold: You are a fucking tool.

Bow before the Master!

We will never bow for you Paul!

NEVER!!!!

NEVER!!!!

Or definitely not until after the game and then maybe.

@bold: You are a fucking tool.

Well, technically it is way better than 2002. Then again, refereeing in Korea/Japan was a fucking disgrace.

 

[Roi]

Today!

 

[Lightning]

Viva España!!

Grant me the pleasure of drinking this one's intoxicating tears!

Well, I've already savored Uruguay's demise at our superior talent.

Bring it on Spain!!! Robben and Sneijder will see this Dutch squad into the history books as the first Netherlands side to win the World Cup.

 

[Hootie]

Go Netherlands! My number 2 team

 

[Vox-Pop]

Now there is a Manny the Parrot predicting games too. :lol :lol :lol

 

[Wessiej]

I'm a nervous rack right now, Espana-GAF my nice days are over

Spoiler

I'm never nice

2-0 please?

 

[elseanio]

Want Spain to win, but would be happy for Kuyt to get a well deserved winners medal!

My bets for tomorrow are:

Villa FGS and Spain 1-0 @ 25/1
Spain to win by 2 @ 5/1

 

[santi_yo]

Ok, I'm fucking nervous right now. Time to sleep.

 

[-x.Red.x-]

Ok, I'm fucking nervous right now. Time to sleep.

lol at everyone getting nervous


im getting nervous too.

paul will triumph

BELIEVE

 

[rodvik]

Hype building, give us a great game teams! And no matter who wins.... NEW champions YES!

 

[Always-honest]

seems both Spain and the Netherlands need to show the world how soccer is played.















Van Persie will play an important part

Spoiler

that's all Paul allowed me to say

 

[Big-E]

As a neutral, I wanted the Dutch to win more than Spain but now I kind of want Spain to win just because of the glory that is Paul. When Spain wins, the Spanish need to set up Paul with his very own aquarium in Madrid and stud him so his powers can live on through his countless suns and daughters.
