Germany looked great. Spain did not look very good today. If they play that against Germany they will be destroyed.

Paraguay's defense vs. Spain was far better than Argentina's was vs. Germany...a low score was expected.

Yup. The only time Spain have looked ok so far is against Potugal.

So there we have it:
  • Uruguay vs. Netherlands
  • Spain vs. Germany

What idiot said there was a chance of an all-South American semi-final round?

Unlike the name suggests, Pennsylviana Dutch are actually germans, not dutch people.

But boohoo

Germany will beat Spain
Netherlands will beat Uruguay

If Netherlands plays on 100% they have a chance at winning, currently they are playing like 80%. Or we have to hope for a bad day for the germans

Well done Skully - against everyone's expectations, Spain beat Germany by one goal to nil. Who'd a thunk it?

Final: Netherlands vs. Spain - neither of whom have ever won the World Cup before.

Spain looked really great today. Definitely the better of the two teams today. I will be cheering for the Netherlands on Sunday but I am expecting a Spain win...

Yep - but nothing has gone as expected in this cup so far.

Except for "Paul", the octopus from Germany...

btw, the octopus picked:

Spain will beat the Netherlands in the final; Germany will win over Uruguay in Saturday's match for third and fourth place.

The octopus gets it right again - Germany 3 Uruguay 2.

Hmm, maybe I should take the octopuses' advice and bet on Spain - or would that be a sucker bet?

I think it is a good bet after watching Spain play against Germany. They looked strong.

Spain is probably the better team but I'm rooting for the netherlands (the dutch) if only because they are known for chocolate and spain isn't.

I am Dutch and I have been waiting for 32 years to see our team play in the finals again. I was 12 when we lost against Germany in 1974. We lost against Argentina in 1978. Both losses were heart breakers...

Holland is the perennial under performer. We lost in 94 against Brazil in the quarter finals (Brazil scored twice on offside position). We lost in 98 against Brazil in the semi finals (after penalty shots). We lost in 2006 against Portugal (terrible game with 16 yellow cards and 4 red cards).

It's time for us to win it all. We won the European cup in 88, but the world cup...

I am glad we are not playing the finals against Germany. If we would lose again against Germany... just kill me. So... if Spain beats us - if they play better - so be it. I just hope we won't lose because of a silly off-side goal or a silly penalty (like in '74).

I will be wearing my orange shirt. just hope that that bloody octopus is wrong for a change.

Tut, my masterful pun goes totally unrecognised :/

I'm rooting for the Dutch too - my last big guild, though nominally British-based, was around 50% Dutch and a nicer bunch of people you couldn't hope to meet.

Go Oranje!

But we have other things

Potato Omelette
Paella
(etc)

And of course, one combination dutch haven't got for sure
Sun + Beach + Party = Spain in Summer


PS. Since when Dutchland is known for chocolate? I only know France & Switzerland for it o0.
PS2. I don't give a shit about football.

I'm rooting for the Dutch since I am party Dutch. Unforunately I think Spain will probably win it... They have just looked like the better side as of late and yes, Holland has a history of being underachievers. Great to see them get this far but I think history catches up to them again. Though no team has ever won the World Cup after losing their first game. (Spain)
