Tomorrow I shall be watching the game with GAF again.

I was at a music festival in Belgium last week so I couldn't participate in the Netherlands - Brazil thread, but man, watching that match in Belgium was quite the experience.

The mayor of Werchter (the town in which the festival is held) prohibited anyone from showing the game anywhere near the festival grounds whilst knowing full well that there would thousands of Dutchies at the festival. Luckily we are able to freely travel by bus to the nearby town of Leuven to enjoy the game.
My friends and I managed to acquire front-row seats in one of the cafés who were showing the game on a big-ass white wall. Before we knew it the café was filled to the brim with around 100+ Orange fans.
Another thing of note was the weather. That friday it was ridiculously hot outside. Whilst leaving Leuven we eyed a thermometer which measured 46 degrees celcius.
Now imagine 100 Dutch football fans cramped together in a small place without airconditioning watching the most intense WC match of the year thus far. Everyone was pretty much drenched in sweat from top to bottom and eventually the café ran out of beer, cooled beverages and food. :lol
And holy shit at the shared excitement, relief, anger and joy. After the game a stream of orange poured from every café in Leuven and enveloped the town and the festival grounds to celebrate.

Can't wait for tomorrow's game. If they play anything like the second half against Brazil they should be able to secure a place in the finals.

Also, a mod should replace the joke after |OT| in the thread title with Germany vs Spain to make this the semi-final thread.

Having one thread for two matches should be fine.

I Cant wait for tomorrow! The wait is killing me! I am glad Suarez isnt playing. He is too good at goalkeeping.

I secretly hope that Spain overestimates the impact of Müller not playing. Kroos and Marin filling in for him won't affect us that much. They're both excellent players on the same level as Müller.

Yeah, you're right. Too bad that fucking Trochowski will play

Don't know what Löw sees in him, he sucks so bad.

Edit: To clarify that, it's not confirmed but that's what probably will happen...

Holland to exact some divine retribution on Uruguay's ass. As long as they keep Forlan quiet, this match is in the bag.

GO ORANGE ARMY!

This could be our year!

Although, if the final is Germany vs Netherlands, I won't know what to do.

I cheer for Netherlands, but I'm German by heritage... whoever wins, I WIN!

Yup..

You do know the correct names are in fact in the title? Uruguay vs Netherlands. Or did you think Bestguay vs. Bestland refered to Spain and Germany? Because it doesn't.

If you get annoyed at the a little meme behind a title, well, I don't know what to say.

But one thread for the semi's would be better no?

It's a joke. From the "Best Korea"/"Worst Korea" stuff that got tossed around.

I've already sent a PM to ducky asking whether we could make this the official semi-final thread.

Having one thread for both matches is clearly better than separate threads.

I think Kroos will play.

Löw put him in pretty early on Saturday. I'm sure he wanted to give him some match practice.

On the other hand, Trochowski started on Müller's position at the friendly match against Bosnia a week prior to the world cup. I was at that match, and IMO Müller won his spot in the starting lineup in the 2nd half of that game.

Well...we'll see. I also thought Löw has gone insane for putting Klose and Podolski in the starting lineup after the awful season both played last year. Turned out he was right, so I tend to believe him anything right now, even if he sees Trochowski as the best replacement for Müller.
