Less discussing who said what about whom, more using of mathematical misconceptions to prove the existence of God, please.

Don't ruin the thread by throwing personal insults around, please.

I'm thinking of stickying this thread. So much win!

That explains Wrath's mistake about perfectly.

I don't see why this is so hard to understand. It just boggles the mind, that the debate wasn't over in the first few posts.

I can't believe I only stumbled upon this thread, now. This is some hilarious stuff.

Because I'm a nice and self-sacrificing boyfriend, I saw Eclipse yesterday. It was appropriately and hilariously dire. I specifically liked how Cullen is completely obsessive in a psychotic way. I imagine he'll turn into an overcontrolling wife beater when they get married. And she'll still say that she understands and that she loves him.

Helen Mirren using an SMG? Sold!

That would make Wals look silly while not helping with the problem at all. Brilliant, good sir!

I don't think Heitinga's second yellow was deserved at all, considering Iniesta fell down as opposed to Heitinga pushing him down. He went down by himself because he felt Heitinga's hand on his shoulder. A few minutes later he got another Holland player carded in similar fashion. Now, I'm not saying that Spain's victory wasn't deserved, because it was. It's just that seeing a world cup final being decided by the neutral team on the pitch annoys me.

TrueNeutral is right, in the sense that the red card and goal were borne out of referee mistakes. However, I'd also say that the referee was unbiasedly incompentent and helped the game become much worse so at the end of the day Holland can't really complain. About the only thing he did that I can applaud was the yellow for Van Bommel. It basically ensured that Van Bommel didn't play another whole game by kicking at the opposition.

Yeah, yeah. We're ugly geeks, but we still get the ladies.

Yeah, vodka is totally beneficial.

Called it again. The only thing I didn't predict was Ghana passing the group stage ahead of Serbia. I really didn't expect Serbia to lose against Australia, nor did I expect Ghana without Essien to get anywhere.

I don't think either Mueller or Torres will influence anything. Villa and Klose are where it's at. Anyway, the match will hinge on the midfielders and I'm curious to see the battle between Ozil and Spain's magical midfield and I don't see how the forwards will be able to influence proceedings all that much. Let's see my predictions fall apart, now.

Well, Germany has been playing surprisingly positive football, which makes everything a bit weird as it makes them on paper the most likely team to fold in the next game, especially after trouncing Argentina in the manner that they did. However, Germany are, traditionally, the ultimate world cup team in terms of outlook and mentality, which makes me unsure of whether to pronounce Germany's elimination against Spain inevitable. It's a real inversion in the parts, having Germany playing the role of the potential bottler, with Spain turning into the pragmatist Cup winner. I'm predicting that it will be kind of a similar situation to the 98 semi final between France and Croatia where the Croats lost despite playing the better football. If Spain wins it all I can see them becoming the new France in terms of competence and smugness. With that in mind, I'd rather see Holland win the World Cup even if they're not playing the exuberant football of yore. With all this said, I'm predicting Spain to win the World Cup by beating Germany and Holland in scrappy wins. Too bad, too, because if both Spain and Holland decided to throw caution into the wind, we could have a hell of a beautiful football final.

I arrived in Portugal at around 10pm today, and it was over 30

Germany peaked too early. Both Spain and Holland with good squads performing underwhelmingly look like typical world cup winners.

The Swiss are really, really awful. They played like Portugal did in qualifying.

Apparently, that's a contact center for Bioware's MMO, not a development house.

At first I didn't know he was quite so deadly, and figured my unarmed skills might be enough.

Interesting stuff from The Guardian Notice how uneven the possible brackets towards the quarters are and can be.
