World Cup - Spoilers (Page 26)

Look at how it moves in the last 8-10 yards.  That thing looked like the baseball in the movie "Flubber".  MLB hurlers wished they had that kind of late movement on their fastball. 

Have the tides turned.  From the game cast chat, it appears that Uruguay are putting on a bit more pressure.

Sneijder scores! They're debating offsides because the ball passes through Van Persie's legs, but he never touches it.

Well, they score again while i'm typing. 3-1 NED.

Heh.  Yeah.  Ignore my previous post. 

Just saw the Robben replay.  Wow.  GK never even moved. 

Wow, late Uraguay goal, but only about a minute left in stoppage time.

And it is over!

ETA: maybe not.

Aaaaaand NOW it is over.

Yep, too little too late. Great game!

Saw on the gamecast chat that there was a "scuffle on the field" after full time?

It was very minor. Maybe a little pushing, that's all I saw. No punches thrown that I could see.

Handbags...disappointment + Latin temperament...= a scuffle

Prince of Denmar - 2010-07-07 11:17 AM cant wait for today's game.
before anything else happens I predict the Neds for the cup. I dont care against whom.

Can't wait either. But my pick for the Cup is Deutschland.

It has begun.  I'm pulling for Spain.  Then I will have a hellish time picking for the final cause I want both teams to win.

Is Germany just letting the Spain wear themselves down so they can run rufshod over them the second half.  Spain seems to have a HUGE possession % going.

Spain appears to be dominating possession but can't finish and 8 shots, 2 on goal.  Germany with only one shot and it was on goal.

Accidental contact...but usually gets called...so much at stake neither team wants to lose and not willing to gamble to win...maybe second half they will open up. Spain has a real problem up front..playing Villa on his own is not making enough chances for them...Germany giving all the possession to Spain so not getting many counter attacks

Your thoughts on either team making it through to Sunday.  Do you think they will do the same then?  Will Netherlands play like they did yesterday or will they to go conservative?
