Netherlands!
Gogo Holland :D
Another great game. Don't know what happened to Mexico on the 2nd half
but I knew i could rely on Oranje!
Now see what happens to Greece later tonight. Go Zeus!
I shat bricks the last 15 minutes of the nedmex game but dang I'm glad we made the quarter finals
Sailor - are you dying lol?? Penelty kicks!! Yikes.
I have to wake up to work about 3 hrs from now but had to watch the game. Imho Greece had the hegemony but they missed the last touch up and Navas played like a dream. What a game!
Penalty shots are about to start. Go Piratiko!
Edit: congrats Costa Rica. This is a cruel world :)
Brutal!! Dude... What a match.
Two things from today's matches:
1) confirmation that "Arjen Robben" is Dutch for "diving, cheating b*stard". He's a wonderfully gifted player but IMHO one of the worst offenders of all time when it comes to diving, and he has been during his whole career. Drives me nuts. Marquez barely touched him and he went down like he had been poleaxed. The whole mid-air flailing thing is a dead giveaway. Grr. I really really want to support the Dutch because historically they have played some beautiful footie, and they have terrific fans, but after that I just can't. They seemed oddly disjointed today too. They will need to play better against Costa Rica.
2) Hurrah Costa Rica! It wasn't the most exciting match ever, but that rarely happens when Greece are playing their system. I thought the Costa Ricans did very well to hang on after going down to ten men, and held their nerves beautifully in the penalties. That save was fantastic!
There aren't many of your posts I can't "like" cangooner - but that last post of yours, I just can't like :).

But you are right - Holland did look out of sorts early on.
It would be a terribly boring world if we all agreed on things like sports, etc. :)Quote:
