Football Thread - World Cup Special IX

Post » Wed Feb 24, 2010 9:34 pm

Horrible, horrible game. This is probably the worst Dutch side I've seen in a long, long time. How Brazil conspired to lose that game is beyond me. Netherlands were absolutely terrible. I've never seen a team so scared to take a shot.

Unless Spain pick up their game, Argentina are the only team left that really deserve to win this now.

EDIT: Last statement was a bit rash, Germany are probably deserving of a shout. I wouldn't be too displeased if Uruguay managed to nick it either.

And it's over, and the soccer world shudders as it wobbles on its axis!!!

Mighty Brazil has been defeated by the Netherlands...and by the fragile Brazilian Psychology!!!

Seriously? My second favourite game after the 3-2 Italy match. Loved the Dutchie comeback. Robben was toss, yes.

I have never seen a team more impotent than this Dutch team. Sure, it'll probably go down as a "classic", but they were terrible. My dad came back from work 15 minutes before the end of the game and thought I was exaggerating when I said how back the Dutch had been. By the end he was shouting at the screen and shaking his head when they couldn't even manage to work a shot from a 3v1 in the box. St Mirren could have scored that.

well it was a bit hard, as the other two palyer were offside so he couldnt pass..

true yes, they always seemed to try and get into the open before shooting...which they could never do.

Not really, the player with the ball was ahead of both his passing options.

Who cares anyway, well done Holland!

Oh, Holland are a much dirtier team than I realised before watching them today :P, Ghana for the cup!

Cannot believe Brazil let those two headers go in, but they don't have to be pretty, they just have to find the net. Netherlands moving on, now let's see if SA can put a team in the Semifinals.

I agree that the Dutch had a lot of oppurtunities to get even more ahead, but, when it comes down to it, who gives a [censored]? They won, brazil lost.

I'm not sure about the score, but I think Uruguay will win it. Could be an exciting game.

It'll be interesting to see if Uruguay can pull a Dutchie and make a comeback in the second half. They sure have the necessary quality.
