    Without a doubt, this.

    I'm gutted to see Germany bow out, but without a doubt the best team won last night. I just wish we could have seen Germany with Thomas Müller, as that would have been an even better match. Two bookings keeping a key player out of the semis is such a farce.

    Germany should have played more player defense instead of zone defense. Holland should do different. and besides, Paul the Octopus already predicted Holand to win... so....

    If anything will make me root for Spain in the final, it's this. Fuck that stupid octopus and anyone who takes him seriously.

    tbh I don't give a crap about that octopus' predictions. Was just something I brought up cause someone mentioned it earlier.

    I'm rooting for Holland cause I'm Dutch.
    Ofcourse Spain has me worried, you'd be a fool to neglect or even underestimate them. Holland however, dispite the opinion of many people on these forums, has an outstanding team with top quality players aswell.

    It will be hard as hell, but I am still rooting for and expecting Holland to take the cup.

    Speaking of Paul, I bet he'd taste quite well sauted. They better eat that fucker or something if Spain wins the cup.

    No one makes it to the Finals off of luck. Anyone that disputes their ability as a team and the quality of their players is an idiot at this point. I can honestly see this one going either way, as it should be.

    I lol'd, and it is quite believable: http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/...up_humiliation

    Quoting a source, RFA reported that after watching the match against powerhouse Brazil, in which North Korea recorded a respectable 1-2 loss with a tight defense strategy, Kim Jong-il said that although the team played the first half well, it lost because it only focused on defense in the second half. He then gave orders for the team's defenders to be positioned forward and even specified where each defender should be standing in the field.

    According to the source, Kim "gave orders twice" to a responsible official dispatched to South Africa during the game against Portugal on June 21. The orders were delivered to North Korea manager Kim Jong-hun and implemented in the game. Despite the widening gap in the score, the North Koreans team stuck to their hopeless strategy and lost 0-7.

    Can't wait for Sir Paul Krakenham's prediction.
