    That was a pretty ugly first half. How come that doesn't surprise me in a match with Uruguay as opponent.
    Congratulations America

    The kick to the face was pretty impressive.

    That's one of the best shots I've ever seen. Couldn't have been better placed, and must have been what, 35 meters? Holy Frackin Christ!

    Then Uruguay counters with what must be considered keeper's error. Gack. Still, that's why you've got to put the ball on goal, even if it's straight at the keeper (coughgreencough).

    Of course, if the Dutch lose, then I win our floor's bracket. I picked Dutch and Deutsch in the Final with Germany winning, while some postdoc who knows nothing about soccer picked the Dutch winning it all.

    I'm surprised he could play on after that. It looked as if it was hard enough to break his jaw.

    Didn't he get substituted?

    Horrible 5 seconds, I saw the ball go in but I was convinced it was offside

    3-1
    Congratulations America

    Classic goal from Robben.

    That referee needs to be taken out and shot for booking Van Bommel.

    Just got permission to tune the lab TVs into the World Final this Sunday. Just need to figure out how to enable the CC.

    Hmmmm... there's a helicopter hovering right over my roof. It seems they are filming the city from there.

    De Zeeuw seems to be in a hospital at the moment that kick in the face may have fractured his jaw. Still don't get how he played on after it happened.
    Congratulations America

    This is great

    Last 5 minutes cost a years of my life though. But it's worth it
    I could have had class. I could have been a contender.
    I could have been somebody. Instead of a bum
    Which is what I am

    Yep - exciting finish to the game.

    I'm guaranteed some cash out of this now. Nederlande was one of my two office sweepstake teams. Cash prizes for winner & runner up.

    Cheers boys.

    When the stars threw down their spears
    And watered heaven with their tears:
    Did he smile his work to see?
    Did he who made the lamb make thee?

    At least this one tells me to bug off in English, instead of your pretend language.

    Exciting match, but I wouldn't have minded if they didn't keep it that exciting until the end. What a relief at the end whistle! Especially since I thought the earlier whistle was already the end

    Celebrated by swimming in the sea, followed by going out and drinking a lot without wearing underwear, since it was wet
    Keep on keepin' the beat alive!

    First half was pretty boring with a lot of predictable pinging.

    Spain - Holland on sunday. I see - again - no reason why we couldn't win that.
    Congratulations America

    Germany was a total no show.

    I feel less confident against Spain then I would have been against Germany. If we can handle the pressure they put on the ball whenever we're in possession we have a shot at the title.
