Agreed. Unfortunately enough, I've only been able to see the match from about 30:00 on, but after that, and especially in the 2nd half, the Dutch were clearly better than the Brazilians.
Many of our attacks failed. Especially Robben has walked himself into a wall of Brazilians a couple of times. But still it could have easily been 3-1

(Farewell, Uruguay, see you at the next WC

- Germany, Argentina or Spain, we're coming

Öh - that comment of mine already was related to Uruguay v Ghana, not Holland v Brazil.

For that match, I had an earlier comment before.

LOL
anyway, we could have played better (1st half), but in the second half, we definitely deserved our victory.

Exciting and entertaining 'till the end as you said, even if you were talking about another match

nah. Mijn theorie is eerst huiden verkopen en dan met het verdiende geld een geweer te kopen om de beer te schieten

You gotta hand it to Suarez.

Lord_magerius · 07-02-10, 06:14 PM

That's true, if anyone can learn anything from Suarez... It's Robert Green

From an English Fan Web:

Quote:

Uruguay's Suarez and Tabarez hail 'new hand of god'

That mantle is Diego Maradona's after scoring against England in the 1986 World Cup. The pretender to the throne last year was Thierry Henry's 'Hand of Frog' as France defeated Ireland in the World Cup 2010 Uefa Play-off where he handled twice in setting up France's winner.

Suarez last night insisted he had no choice but to block Adiyiah's header and he had no choice but to put his country first.

"This was the end of the World Cup. I had no choice. I have the 'Hand of God' now," said Suarez. I did it so that my team-mates could win the penalty shoot-out. When I saw Gyan miss the penalty it was a great joy."

Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez has angrily defended accusations of cheating by his star player and Uruguay team and said Suarez was properly punished for the incident.

Tabarez said: "When there is a handball in the penalty area there is a red card and the player is thrown out of the game. Saying we cheated Ghana is too harsh a word to use. We also abide by what the referee did. It could have been a mistake. Yes he stuck his hand out, but it's not cheating. I don't think it's fair to say that. I think it was instinctive. The player instinctively reacted and was thrown out of the match and he can't play the next match. What else do you want?

"Is Suarez also to blame for Ghana missing the penalty? We try to be dignified and if we lose a match we look for the reasons for it. You shouldn't look to third parties. This is football. There are consequences to that handball and he didn't know that Ghana was going to miss that penalty."

Actually I buy it that in Suarez case it was more instinct than intentional decision to cheat. Last but not least because it went so fast and chaotic.

Two hours, countdown is ticking down. I expect nothing else but a battle down to the bones. I hope it does not become too nasty and brutal. Meetings between Argentinia and Germany at worldcups always have been like that: harsh fighting, fouls, unfairness, provocations, hot emotions. In other words: dramas.

Beer, saltsticks, beef, salad, grill ready...

Yep, I'm looking forward to it.
Should be a very passionate match.

Good luck Skybird.

I'm cheering for Germany on this one.

Suarez has been banned from the next match, right? Pretty big loss for Uruguay. It was a good match and Ghana didn't go without a fight so I think they can say that they did ok.

I'm sticking with my quarter final prediction which was an Argentine victory.

I'll make do with a few jars and some popcorn

Bring it on!!
