Leferd Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Finally watched Netherlands-Spain. Been really difficult trying not to get spoiled all day. Fantastic rout. The Oranje have always been my #2 side.

Labadal Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 All it does it make me angry, whether through awful referees or my national team getting everyone's hopes up by playing amazingly well at the start of the tournament and then transforming into a hurricane of failure when it actually matters. So TN do you think you are going to get behind your team for the rest of the World Cup, nothing quite like an amazing and unexpected victory to increase that patriotic fervour I wouldn't support the England team these days if we were at war. With nazi ewoks who dive in the penalty box. I wholeheartedly agree! Chamberlain, Sterling, Sturridge and Welbeck are all diving Nazis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blarghagh Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 So TN do you think you are going to get behind your team for the rest of the World Cup, nothing quite like an amazing and unexpected victory to increase that patriotic fervour It may be hard not to get swept up into the renewed Oranje fever that swept up the country - everyone was expecting the worst but now the orange decorations have come out in full force. But I don't want to be a fair weather fan, so I'm going to continue to expect they'll choke horribly and start ninja kicking people again in desperation, just like last time.

Well, Nigel de Jong still showed his lack of restraint at times yesterday, but that's the only player I really worry about. Really pleased we don't have to deal with the likes of van Bommel anymore, what an incredible .... that was. 1 Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

Keyrock Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Spain's defense was quite bad. Their keeper was atrocious. That was some seriously embarrassing goalkeeping. They need to figure something out and do it fast or they might not even come out of the group. Chile looked fairly shaky as well, so it should be an interesting match when those two teams square off.

Yeah, they were shocking. I expected them to be past their prime, but this was just sad. I pity the poor unemployed Spanish youngsters who had to watch these spoiled millionaires, who could only manage one goal - and that only through a dive.

Even when Greece win, I want to tear my eyes out. No Luis Suarez in the Uruguay game. I don't know if I should be happy or not. Don't want him injured but at the same time want to see him play.

JadedWolf Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I never ever expected Costa Rica so strong... or Uruguay so weak. Uruguay is really quite disappointing.

Meshugger Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I'm gonna bet that England - Italy will end 0-0 or 1-1.

JadedWolf Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Huh, I think Spain lost morale or something. They started out so well. Oranje is playing much better than I thought they would.
