That was a total fucking red card! WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!

suchfriends, you remain such a baptist at heart, ha ha ha. no confession and penance, just fire & brimstone for the sinner.

suarez pass to cavani for the first goal was fucking PERFECT. and he played very well with forlán. what i meant by out of it was he couldn't find the goal himself. but yeah, the crowd booed him-- self-righteous bastards, as if they wouldn't themselves.

i think the dude looked from the wrong angle & didn't get that it was cleats to the chest-- that was a total red card no doubt

wow, iker, what a fucking champ!

CASILLAS IS MY FUCKING HOMIE!
HE IS WRECKING SO HARD


also,
wtf

finally! fucking well deserved goal!

GOL!!!!!!!!

wow, exciting last few minutes.

ugly game, i blame the dutch team for it, and the best team won (sorry dutch boardies, you guys are great, but your team played dirty).

brand-new champion. holland stumped in their 3rd attempt, must be frustrating.

best players for me were iniesta and casillas-- casillas is a fucking hero.

robben played a great game too, until he ran out of gas in overtime.

CASILLAS = a god

Feel sorry for Pokkeherie but I'm glad it went to Spain. Holland were lucky not to be down to 8 or 9 players by the end. The better team one. Spain didn't play brilliantly tonight but I could never support Holland given the way they approached that game.

The future is bright, the future is a Seville orange.

mang, i'm depressed now, this is over!

sorry Pokkeherie they tried they had their chances but Casillas was just to good. Spain defense was sloppier than any other game but Casillas was a wall. Mecklenberg was right there also took a busted play to beat him. I don't understand how you guys can call the game boring when you can cut the tension with a knife. I was on the end of my seat the whole game.

When English Premier league start? :):)

what a boring fucking game. Germany would have made it such a better match. the 3rd place game was so much better.

way to pay for a 12th man out there Spain. I know you can sleep tonight because everyone in Fifa is fucking crooked, so the Champs might as well be.

this was the best part of the match, sadly.

foul foul foul play foul foul foul foul card play foul foul foul foul foul play card foul foul

of course there was tension, it was the world cup final, and there were great moments, but the way the dutch played was anti-football.

I certainly didn't think the game was boring. I don't think either team played as well as they had previously in the tournament but it certainly wasn't dull.

Anyway, it's just been announced on the BBC that Forlan won the Golden Ball!


Oh, and Chicka, the Prem starts again on Aug 14th.

thanks Demonrail on both counts. Why aren't goalies allowed to win the Gold Ball? Do they have their own trophy?

I was thinking the very same thing. I assume, like me, you were thinking of Casillas. Surely if anyone deserved it during this tournament it was him.

I also think it's ludicrous that it's decided preior to the final (a stupid idea highlighted when Zidane won it last time, ignoring his headbutt in the final). I'm glad Forlan won it but it's outrageous that Casillas never even got nominated.

Oh and good show in the Fantasy Football league! England could've done with you instead of Capello, I reckon.:D

didn't Oliver Kahn win it one year? he was Germany's goalie

i watch hella more sports than u, brah

No he didn't. Thomas Mueller of Germany won the Golden Shoe.

golden shoe =/= golden ball

idiot

By '12th man', do yo mean the Ref? The same guy who could've easily sent off Van Bommel and De Jong in the first half and, by the letter of the law, should've sent Robben off in the second.

Holland have nobody to blame for what happened tonight besides themselves. Watching them tonight made me wish that Uruguay had beaten them in the semis. At least they'd have been up for a game of football. And I say that as someone who's always had great admiration for Dutch football.

Anyway, can we atleast all agree that Spain's coach bears an uncanny resemblance with a certain sitcom brasserie owner?

It's the Golden Shoe. And thanks for pointing out that demonrail666 is an idiot for getting it totally wrong.

i'd say go to a doctor but you're fucking incurable.

idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot

Yeah, I don't think goalies are disqualified, just ignored. It's the same issue with no defender being nominated this year. I'm not even saying Casillas should've won it, but I'd say he was well worthy of making the top ten.

Click the link I provided, idiot. :rolleyes:

i hope one day you learn to read

sayin'

mueller won the golden boot
forlan won the golden ball
casillas won the golden glove

well put, but i don't think it will get through to the dunce regardless

The whole shebang was fixed anyway.

Says the imbecile with a piss-poor understanding of grammar.

pfffft

desperate insult of last resort

idiot!

yes de Jong deserved a red... aside from that, every call went to Spain. and don't try and tell me Puyol played Robben cleanly on his 2nd breakaway [the one in which he didn't get a shot off because Puyol grabbed him and wrapped his leg around him. it would've been a red too if Robben had fallen/dove]. also towards the end when the black dutch winger kept getting past CapdeVilla and getting fouled and would get not even a kick.

but dude, puyol got a yellow card for his shenanigans. so did capdevilla. watchu talking about willis?

the ref was pretty lenient i think because it was a world cup final-- he dished out more warnings than cards-- sneijder got a couple, robben got one (before his yellow), so did iniesta, in situations that would have deserved a card in a different game or with different players. spain aren't saints, sure, but they only started dishing it out after 20 minutes, fed up from the punishment they were getting (that's when ramos got his card).

it was a fair victory for spain, they won without help from the ref, and i think you're off mark with your criticisms of him. sure, there was a case of "yellow fever", but the cards weren't undeserved. they would have been more, but he kept warning people instead. i thought he did a nice job, considering the match he had in his hands.

well, that wasn't exactly a classic world cup final.

it doesn't hurt as much as i thought it would. spain were clearly the better team and other than trying to disrupt their game, holland didn't have much of an answer. robben got two huge chances, which he both managed to mess up. spain got a lot more chances, but since we all know they can't score there was always the possibility... up until the 118th minute.

but spain are the worthy champions. this wasn't the best dutch team i remember seeing. however, it's sad to think that i doubt i'll ever see holland get the opportunity to win the world cup again - in my lifetime at least.

just like after the semi-final game vs uruguay i had a friend's birthday party to celebrate. i got home earlier this time, nobody wants to celebrate their birthday after losing a world cup fnal, right?

it's been exhausting. time for bed.
