| Killer header by Van der Sloot. If they weren't always crying on the ground for calls I could root for them. With the orange they look like convicts. |

what a game!!
seemed like an uncharacteristically sloppy one from the dutch, but luckily managed to sink some goals.. heaps of pressure off uruguay coupled with no doubt a bit of overconfidence after beating brazzil, but i really hope they can maintain order for germany... going to be a really hard slog...
25th straight win in a row!! the cup is ours, hup, holland, hup!!!! \o/
:D :D |

, if those Vuvuzela's outside don't hush in an hour I don't know what I'll do to them :toothless
Nice for Giovanni van Bronckhorst at the end of his career. 5 goals in 105 matches for Oranje and now a final in the WC.
(Nice for Ooijer too btw)
Not bad for our mini country. |

Right, that automatically makes your point valid.

Of course it doesn't, but you should stop telling people that they don't know what they're talking about when you're still learning to wipe your ass properly. |

Probably you haven't seen many interviews with Bert van Marwijk. Overconfidence is not in his dictionairy. He praised the team of Urugay before the match and warned the players. Urugay has played well this tournament. This would not be a runover. If they had Suarez I think it even could have ended differently. |

pretty much in any game. he's lost the burst of pace he had & it's left him looking like scholes when tackling. Later than an Arriva bus.
Uruguay gave it their all with the talent available to them and maybe could've done more but Cavani especially looked poor, he's looked the weaker of the 3 forwards they've used most of the cup. The dutch just got the breaks and that goal from Gio was well worthy winning a semi-final. |

He plays on the edge and hard when he needs to, like also against Brazil. Small things which do make the difference at the end. He plays like that with Bayern Muenchen and is one of the most important players there (and captain).
Wow, just heard de Zeeuw was kicked unconscious there briefly. |

i don't know why people keep telling Holland is not playing their best, yes sometimes they get lost for a couple time lapses on every game but at the end they end up getting away with it.
Hopefully they will play the game of their lives next Sunday |

Because they're not playing anywhere nearly as entertaining as the side we saw 2 years ago in Euro 2008 with pretty much the same players - or the historical sides of 1974, 1978, hell even 1994 and 1998...
However this year's squad has been very effective! Congratulations to them and I'm pretty pleased as well to see them reach the final! |

I really hope you know how ridiculous you sound. |
