I thought it was a terrible game to be honest and a Spain v Netherlands final will not be as exciting as Germany v Netherlands. Nevermind.
I just hope if Spain win they are able to score more than one goal and it will be before half time at least. Call me a moron but I like open and expansive football like the Germans had played up until now.
Having said that it is nice that a team will win the world cup than never has before. -
@Ross You might actually be able to watch the match on the flight. I watched some live premiere league football when flying Jet Blue between NYC and Pittsburgh a couple of months ago.
I doubt it. When I flew Lufthansa to Europe at the end of last year they didn't even had personal video screens

Wow who knew a hand ball in a football game between two countries miles away from NZ could elicit such venom???
Look whats done is done. Shouldn't we focus on the fact that we have two mouth watering semi's coming up???? -
Don't wish too hard for South American sporting teams to have a

I don't think you understand probability.
Haha good point, Monday morning etc etc. What I meant was that a penalty is the best consolation the opposing team can be given under the circumstances. A penalty goal would be a very slippery slope

Sure it was the most blatant handball. However, I don't think its the villainous act everyone is making it out to be. Sure he cheated. But so does everyone that takes a dive. He had a split second to decide what to do, he got red carded, is suspended for the next match. Harry Kewell got the same treatment.
You basically have a 70%+ chance of coverting a penalty, the Ghanain should have scored it.
Having said that coming out and saying he is the new hand of god doesn't exactly put Suarez in the best possible light. -

That's often a recipe for going quite deep. They must rate as a major disappoinment.
1 minute of football less in USA's final game and they probably would have. Or had Green not fluffed it....
I don;t think they would have put away Uruguay though, on form I think they are the darkhorses, they could even push Brazil -
But it wasn't supposed to happen like that! The UK gutter press said so .. you know, how they whip up the populace into a frenzy of wartime memories -- how we beat the Bosch and all that
The wartime analogy doesn't really make sense, unless it was Germany vs England+USA+Russia+Australia+NZ+Canada+South Africa etc etc
Not defending the Germans in a WWII sense, just saying...

69 min: England's four defenders make it back to their area.
You have to laugh really. Terry was appalling in defence.
You also have to laugh at this
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/jun/27/england-germany-world-cup-2010Golden generation? Maybe for their clubs, but for England? Two Quarter final exits, one second round, and failing to qualify for the last Euro comp. Hardly golden.
