July 9, 201411 yr Nice tackle on Robben there Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
July 9, 201411 yr Nice tackle on Robben there Yeah, I thought he would get a free kick first. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
July 9, 201411 yr You could really feel Netherlands keeping the pressure the last three minutes. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
July 9, 201411 yr Here is my highly technical assessment of the 90 minutes that were just played: Argentina should take Messi off and substitute in Robo Messi from the Samsung Galaxy S adverts.

July 9, 201411 yr Bring on Krul! I want to make a word joke about "Arjentinians" and how "Krul" is pronounced similar to "cruel", but I can't think of anything. Too bad. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
July 9, 201411 yr Bring on Krul! Krul the Conqueror 🇺🇸RFK Jr 2024🇺🇸 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
July 9, 201411 yr At least it's been more interesting football after the first 90 minutes. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
July 9, 201411 yr Wish Mexico were here Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
July 9, 201411 yr Argentina is really dangerous right now. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
July 9, 201411 yr Netherlands done in by their nemesis, the penalty shootout. Argentina wins the privilege of losing to Germany. The Dutch will have to settle for beating Brazil. 🇺🇸RFK Jr 2024🇺🇸 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
July 9, 201411 yr They should have had Krul as goalkeeper. :/ "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
July 9, 201411 yr That pipsqueak trying to mimic Krul was hilarious. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
July 9, 201411 yr Bringing in Krul wouldn't have made Sneijder and Vlaar not miss, so can't blame Cillessen. In any case, I'm proud of the boys. They gave their all, did much better than anyone expected, and only lost on penalties. Now let's see if the Germans can beat the Argies with the same superiority they showed against Brazil. As for the match for the 3th place. Meh. Who cares? Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

July 10, 201411 yr Two crap teams (that is, one team that was crap all tournament, and one team that became progressively boring) play a terrible game. Hope the Germans give us a good show.

July 10, 201411 yr Author Prepare to watch Argentina nullify the Germans and then winning by one goal or on penalties. This will be a cue for more crying and despair from Brazilians and, also, Cristiano Ronaldo. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
July 10, 201411 yr Germans losing on penalties would be something. At least Germany can count on the home support Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
July 10, 201411 yr Author The Germans are being way overrated when, by my estimation, they had much less to do with the Brazilians imploding than the Brazilians themselves. Also, I always expect a team that wins so hugely in the semi finals of a major competition to go on and flop into mediocrity in the subsequent final.

July 10, 201411 yr Well of course it was more Brazil being crap than Germany being outstanding. Not sure why the Germans seem so flatter thain in 2010, I guess age of the team ?

July 10, 201411 yr Does anyone know why the Russian national team jersey is the color of cherry? Any historic reference whatsoever or just didn't want them bright red? http://www.footballwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Russia-New-Jersey.jpg
July 10, 201411 yr Heh, funny how all the 'crap' and 'overrated' teams made it to the elimination rounds. People must have especially rosy memories of past WC tourneys. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
July 10, 201411 yr The longer it stays 0-0, the better Argentina's chances. If Germany scores early though it might become a massacre. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
July 10, 201411 yr It certainly won't be another 7-1, but Argentina are so poor I can't imagine them winning, it would be like.... well, like, well, 2006 Italy. Yeah, mostly it's my hope that for once, a good team will win the bloody thing. Heh, funny how all the 'crap' and 'overrated' teams made it to the elimination rounds.
