I think the Netherlands are saving players and already talking about Brazil... :lol

I hope Slovakia hears about it and come out with some pride... they already eliminated Italy...

[Bukefal]

Facing brasil sucks a bit :lol We can beat them and I hope we will. So long it's not going to end with penalties lol that's a nightmare :(

But on the other hand, if you are really that good as a team, quality, potential to win this WC and really going for it, it doesn't really matter who you will play. We should not think about it like that. Just go for it. That's what I like about the Dutch team this time. They are not talking so much about possible scenarios or being afraid who we will face etc. They just look at it day to day and just face what lands on their path.

They are motivated, they are relaxed, not much pressure and it gels very well between the players.

van der Vaart is injured. Maybe Elia will start now. We'll see.

Vittek is dangerous in this tournament, although nobody heared of him before :lol They should beware of him.

[ElNono]

The Spanish ref is just terrible. Netherland can't do no wrong and Slovakia is the evil empire...

[Spurologist]

Vittek looking dangerous but not finishing

[ElNono]

lol Van Persie

[Spurologist]

:rollin GK

[ElNono]

That's the dagger. But I hope the ref doesn't call any more games.

[ElNono]

Slovakia paying the price of missed opportunities...

[ElNono]

Netherland looked kinda weak. I'm not sold they'll get past Chile... :stirpot:

:lol

At this point any ref they throw out there is going to suck. At least no one was screwed out of a goal or screwed on an offsides goal, which is an improvement on both games yesterday.

Slovakia didn't produce enough chances and didn't take advantage of the 3 or 4 legit ones they did have all game.

[mudyez]

the tatoo ratio in the world cup just fell off about 77%

[Spurologist]

that was not a penalty. another horrible call by the ref

I woke up as the game was ending. Was it exciting?

If you like watching bald dutch dudes kick one near post goal then yes.

Otherwise no

[Bukefal]

The referees in this WC suck. Its unbelievable. That was not a penalty. Ive seen the recap over and over again, they showed it like 50 times here :lol It was certainly not a penalty. It doesnt matter, because they still won but again, a stupid decision.

Ive expected more from the Netherlands. The first half was well, they just outplayed them, Slovakia did not have any real chances. Second half was bad, Slovakia got some nice chances and they could have easily made one or two goals. Thanks to Stekelenburg great goalkeeper, we were saved.

Anyway, the win is what matters in the end and I was glad to see Robben again. He did great. On to the next one, bring it on Brasil! (or Chile) :clap

[Dinamita]

13 Fantasy points from Sneijder. :tu

Holland looked very good imo. Netherlands vs Brazil will be the best game of the tournament.

I'd rather have Chile, but yeah, it would definitely be a nice game. Netherlands do need to step up their game though. They cant play like this against other class countries like Brasil.

[alamo50]

23rd undefeated game in a row for Holland.
Will the streak continue vs. Brazil?
I personaly don't think so.

Watching the game at work on Friday @ 4PM!

Yeah, that's pretty amazing. van Marwijk has only lost once since he has been head coach right? Against Australia.

I think oranje is capable of beating Brasil, but it is sure going to be tough and they do need to play different against them than that they have played so far in the WC.

Revenge for 1998. :ihit

[LakerHater]

Good job but, they're not beatin Brasil!!

I would love a Holland vs Argentina final. Plus, anything that takes that Brazilian ego down a notch is alright by me.

Besides spare me the bullshit indignation. Just because I can't close my eyes and pretend eveything is perfect like you seem to be able to doesn't mean I don't want Argentina to win just as much as you.

Cheer up, I'm not bashing you. I actually found funny one post in one thread and another in this one. I know you're a fan as much as anybody else.
I just got off the phone with my sis who is in Argentina and she was telling me how everybody was celebrating on the streets after beating Mexico. It's a longshot, but everybody is have a good time (so far).

[Brazil]

Holland looked very good imo. Netherlands vs Brazil will be the best game of the tournament.

the best game of the tournament on paper is Germany / Argentina !

I'll root for Holland cauz my life in Brazil is right now a hell ! :lol
