This will be the first World Cup outside of Europe to be won by a European team.


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Dutch Into The Final?
HOLLAND will have their chance to exorcise the ghosts of World Cup finals past on Sunday.

Have your say.

Got very interesting at the end there.

The ref started playing Fergie time, but forgot that Man Utd weren't playing:lol:

What was up with that injury time seriously:lol:

The fourth official didnt lift the board up until they had already played an extra minute so im guessing that the referee added the 3 minutes on from there, which is why they played 4 minutes instead of 3, was nervy finish ill say that

Good game... Won more money, but got a tad nervous at the end!

Added time also consists of time added on for bookings so 3 or 4 mins was probably about right...

Was a good game lots of goals something i like, Holland could of easily won that by more that being said they could have lost it.

Hollands keeper is a dud and im making a prediction he will make at least one mistake in the finals which will lead to a goal

i love how some of this forum were so quick to say how shit the european teams were outside of the continent and theyll be embarrassed by the south american teams...they certainly shut you up this world cup.

what a game!

Lmao! There are only 3 European teams in this world cup that haven't failed. England, Denmark, Serbia, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, France have all failed. Slovakia, Slovenia probably exceeded their expectation and Portugal didn't really live up to theirs. And Spain is another team that hasn't really hit their peak.

On the other side all the South Americans teams did very well. Chile got knocked out by a South American team and all the other South American teams made it past the round of 16.

good to see the cheating Uruguayans lose

now i hope the cheating Dutch dont win it

I now expect Fozz to come out singing the praises of the Dutch system. ;)

The wind has changed direction since I wrote that previous post so Fozz will have changed his mind again.

Yeah and after all of that we will have a European winner, so it seems as good as the South American teams did they just weren't good enough.

So which british paper was this from?

how did Uruguay cheat? Suarez handballed clearly he got punished but Ghana messed it up when they shouldve scored.

Erm?

When the fuck are people going to get over this? It was nearly 10 years ago. Since leaving Man Utd, where he was not a 'star', he has won the Golden Shoe on three occasions, and built a reputation as one of the best strikers in Europe or even the world.

Forlan surely has to be a contender for the Golden Ball this year.

I struggle to think of names for the award this time award (also the GK award).

The Dutch fans are some of the best fans in the World. I'm glad they got to the Final.

Don't think i'd want to bump into these fellas on a dark night though...

Sneijder again delivering the goods. Great game. sets up a mouth-watering final. i'd be happy with any of the three winners tbh

I'm loving the Dutch style. And I hope Germany win overnight to set up a fantastic final.

I read somewehere, Forlan is the first player in 20 years to score 3 goals from outside the box in the same World Cup. Just a random fact.

:lol:

i was thinking about that when he scored this morning :lol:

As much as I love Spanish football, geez I hope its a Germany/Holland final. A local derby in the WC final. AWESOME!!!!


Having said that, I do think the way Spain control the play will be too much for Germany.

At this point in time I'd say it's between Muller, Sneijder, Villa and Forlan for the Golden Ball.

The GK award is the Lev Yashin award.
