This seems to be a tribute to a dead footballer (Dani Jarque) that suffered a lethal hard attack last year. Nice :)
ah i was wondering what that meant, nice tribute to his friend.

He died in pre-season last year. The season of Euro 2008, another spanish international, Antonio Puerta also collapsed on the pitch and later died in hospital. Sergio Ramos was wearing a shirt after each game for them, so it's kinda poetic that they get the tributes, but I don't want it to repeat itself a third time.

another 30 years till we actually win the ing thing now...??? :whip: :whip: :whip:
honestly though, how biased was the ref towards the diving spanish dogs near the end of the game. Heitinga didn't even touch that ing midget, and he went flying, so heitinga gets a red... meanwhile up the other end robben was literally held AROUND his waist, in the box, and it's ignored...
i don't think it was that suprising he was ing pissed, that was a ing call... maybe if he'd dived that time he would have got the call..?
I'm just ing annoyed more than anything, such a weak game, and i feel like spain deserved the trophy less than 5 other teams..
honestly mate, the dutch cost themselves the game. They tried to kick spain off the pitch and didn't spend enough time trying to actually win it. Robben and co have great ability and it was sad they didn't use it so much. As people have said, De Jong and Van Bommel were lucky not to get sent off too. The red card for Heitinga was one, because he made enough contact that at that speed he was always going to go down upon it. Yes, Puyol could've gone but Robben didn't go down and it's generally the case that if you stay on your feet, you don't get your just rewards. We all know that the ref made a mistake on not giving a corner, but it doesn't matter how much you bleat on about it, trust me, we were on the end of a disgusting decision and it can't alter anything.
Malek - Spain weren't boring but were playing posession football because the teams they were playing insisted on trying to shut them out with fouls and 10 men behind the ball. it is the best solution to that. The team who actually tried to play differently was Chile and that made for an excellent spectacle and a lot more drama. It's like when teams play Barcelona or Man Utd or Inter, they always change tactic. I saw one la liga game where a small side, Almeria played a totally off-centre style, with 2 wingers as strikers and gave barca so many problems that it ended in a 2-2 draw and was an excellent game. If you sit back and defend, the spanish teams can and will do what they did because it's a necessity. It takes 2 teams to tango.

Quoted from AE Paul is a Britfag psychic octopus beloved by 4chan's /sp/astics, living at the Sea Life Aquarium in Oberhausen Germany, that has been employed to pick the winners during the 2010 World Cup. His selections during the round-robin, group play and quarter-finals have been right on-the-money 100% of the time making him moar successful than every single sportscaster and self proclaimed 'expert' thus far. He was also 80% at the Euro 2008.
Before Germany's games, Paul is offered identical foodz in two identical perspex boxes decked out with the national flag of Germany and their opponent. It is a known fact that Paul makes Vegas bookies bricks. Paul is currently being pursued by the English Football Association to be manager of England's 2014 World Cup squad.
Paul made all of Germany U MAD when he predicted that Spain would beat them but redeemed himself somewhat by picking the Germans to win the 3rd Place game against Team Uruguay. Again, Paul was correct. He then went above and beyond the call of duty by picking Spain to beat Dutchland in the final -his first attempt at picking a match winner that didn't involve Germany.
A close match went into extra-time after being tied 0:0 at the end of regulation and given that the Dutch seemed hellbent on proving Paul wrong by attempting to cripple every Spanish player to win, people began to have their doubts. Never bet against Paul though. With a perfect record on the line, Paul psychically took over Spain's Andrés Iniesta brain and gave him the power to score the game winner as the clock ran out. Paul finished the World Cup 8 for 8, (a win for each tentacle) the chances of which is 1/256
Sadly, octopi only live an average of four years and being 2-years-old, Paul won't be around for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. ;_;. Paul was definitely the biggest star and best thing about the 2010 World Cup and will be missed by everyone. Except the butthurt Hollish.
Given Paul's amazing record, one wonders how Paul's 1337 octopus powers would fare in matters of global importance such as cut vs. uncut debates and USA vs EU flamewars on 4chan.

If there wasn't so much money to be made from it trust me they would.
