Maradona might not have been able to contain himself if he'd seen this.

Yesterday's debacle at the match was caused by him getting word that the police had seized the shipment. When he wasn't getting his special prize, he couldn't be ar5ed to lead the team to the cup.

Will we ever see a clearer CERTAIN goal again? Yes, I imagine we will - watch it again, it was going to hit his face, hopefully he'll appeal against the red, he didn't deny a goalscoring opportunity.

The shocking decision was the free-kick Ghana got which set up the whole situation, thankfully justice was done.

I can't believe he used his hand when he was bound to head the ball.

However, it's better to be safe - and he will never get a better red card in his career, superb.

If you are there next week and they do win it you could quite easily have the night of your life, judging by my experience in Valencia for Euro 2008!

I'll be in Ibiza next weekend, I hope it extends to there!

You'd think Spain have just won it the way people are acting over here.

TBF, it is now the furthest they have progressed in a World Cup since 1950. They should rightfully be pleased.

Personally, I hope their below-par performances have been because they have been affected by this and that they can now play with a bit less pressure. I'd prefer to see a Holland v Spain final.

And I would like the semicircle prediction thingymebob, which predicts a German victory, to turn out to be sh/te.

Oh I don't know. Holland v Germany in a World Cup Final? Yes sir!

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 : Tue Jul 06, 2010 10:43 am  

Holland vs Germany would be a much better final IMO, the 2 nations have quite a big rivalry, and they've been the 2 best teams at the cup.
