Holland in an upset over Spain 1-0....game is won in extra time on an offside goal.
sorry it'll never happen :)
and no team will come close to spain, first half germany had one shot on goal in total which was a total fluke.
XAVI alone takes on 2-3 players which opens three spots and what he does is unnoticeable. i will go as far to say that forlan, messi and xavi top the list for players this tournament.
muller is like klose he makes the runs but if you haven't noticed there was no runs to be made, even podolski had to defend.
germany clearly was not ready for that kind of game play.
every tournament has its new development and this one is ball possession which belongs to spain. who would have ever guessed that greece would have beat portugal not once but twice in the same tournament?
if you understand the game of chess you will understand a lot of strategic developments in politcs/war/soccer/football/basketball etc..

germany is definitely dominating the pitch so far
wow did you guys see the dip in schweinsteigers shot?? watch the goalie - at the last second, 5ft before it gets to him, it just suddenly drops down!! what a shot! then mueller comes in to pick up the rebound!
edit: spoke too soon lol - what a tackle by perez, totally robbed schweinsteiger of the ball, great counter attack and cavani capitalizes.....awesome tackle

The only part of my prediction that was wrong was the team....other then that...it was in extra time and the goal was scored because of a blown offside call.

wtf are you talking about? what offside?
Iniesta was not offside when Torres crossed the ball in nor was he offside when Fabregas passed him the ball.

It's unfortunate that the game had to have so many fouls and cards but it is what it is. Both sides had plenty of chances to score some goals and I wish more connected so the final score was more indicative of actual play. Casillas is a superstar and a player like Robben should have got at least one of those shots in...it's crazy to me! Oh well. I'm looking forward to Euro 2012 in Poland..gives me a good excuse to visit, lol.
:D
oh and :wtf: ...need some mortal kombat music on this:

Man, this was a dream World Cup pool for me. I got the final scores correct, and the top 3 teams (page 4 of this thread) ... :D I kinda wanted Dutch to win, but if I picked them I would have lost my pools.
Bragging rights at work tomorrow! :)
Looking forward to other playoff pools ... MLB, NHL, cant wait!
