I'm rooting for the Dutch purely because they've been there 3 times and still have 0 titles. I think it's about time they won it. Also they're right next to Germany who I was pulling for.

Also, I'm going to eat that octopus if it picks Uruguay.

The Spain - Dutch finale is epic in historical terms. Both never won and just check out Dutch National Anthem lyrics:

Quote
William of Nassau
am I, of Dutchblood.
Loyal to the fatherland
I will remain until I die.
A prince of Orange
am I, free and fearless.
The king of Spain
I have always honoured.

Great, half the german team has caught the flu. Team manager Löw, Goalkeeper Neuer, Lahm and Podolski maybe out for the game for third place on Saturday.

If it's a strain of the Spanish Flu then I'm ready for the next conspiracy theory  why so serious?

That was a great game. Brilliant second Uruguay goal from Forlan. My only real disappointment was his near-miss in the last kick not going in, which could have gotten us up to another 30mins of the game.  awesome, for real

Both sides seem to be fouling a lot for the first moments of the game. They are valid fouls too, from what I can see.

Also, Robben is in dire need of someone to help him out who won't whiff on his crosses.

Robben is going to feel that miss if they lose.  You don't get easier oppruntities in a World Cup match than that.

Casillas is just ON today. Without his miracle saves, it'd be 3 to zero at least by now.
