Bugger!
The kiwis didn't make it, BUT we still beat the World cup holders Italy.
Go you good things you did NZ proud.

King Otto, The Crazy German. Things went bad for him now he wont speak to anyone and sent as a message of his departing coaching for the Greek national team. Guess next time we will see Greece play is 2024 or some such.

And the Orange team is off to the semi-finals making Brazil look stupid.

I miss the last few games..
Got to catch up with work AND sleep..

Dimitri, I saw the match today. It was the first complete match I saw and I didn't see nice soccer at all, but the world is colouring orange I think.

On the other hand: some stupid guys proposed to do the worldcup someday in the Netherlands + Belgium someday and that day is coming closer now. I already started wondering how we are going to pay for this thing. I live in a country that sold all its industry and give away its banks and what do we get back? An enormous dept and "bread and games" ?


A little extra: I also saw the match today and in my opinion Spain is going to beat the Netherlands next Sunday and Germany will become 4th on Saturday.

Aloysius, I think you've got both these matches wrong ( but I do hope that Uruguay beats Germany)

GO ORANGE !!!

Germany just won a 3rd place spot.

as predicted bij Paul the octopus. Till now that octopus seemed to be 100 % reliable. And what Paul the octopus said about the final match is not going to make Marty happy...
but they already painted an F-16 orange to accompany the netherlandish team home. Have you any idea what is going to happen with our Northern neighbours when they should win tomorow? I live close to the border, about 50 km, so here you also see a lot orange and several flemish guys already went up North to help them celebrate (which is stupid because our beer is better, cheaper and glasses are bigger )

But I still think Spain plays nicer and better, but in soccer not always the best team wins...

wait and see, tomorow we'll know a lot more.

And a little extra: on July 11th in 1302, the flemish groupe of poorly armed guys did beat the french speaking army of rich knights in what we called afterwards the battle of the golden spurs. So every year on July 11th the flemish speaking part of Belgium is having its "4th of July". So when the Netherlands can beat Spain tomorow they will also have something to remember on the day we have our national holiday

The way things are going, Robben is going to be why the Netherlands loses. Mind you I hope I am wrong.
