OT: World Cup Begins

[puckhead]

a little bit of feeling into the match now.
a bicycle kick to the noggin will do that.

 

[postmaster]

brutal. Dutch D-Man kicked in the head from an attempted bicycle kick. Hope he is alright.

 

[Dupster]

May I have a boot to the face, please?
*SMACK*
Thank you.

 

[Dupster]

Only a yellow. I guess he was legitimately going for the ball, and not to injure.

 

[postmaster]

crap, all tied up now. Was a rocket but I think the goalie should have gotten it.

 

[puckhead]

uruguay draws even, with a nice longball from Forlan.
goalie shoulda had that one though.

 

[Dupster]

Another stiff shot for the equalizer.

 

[ritari330]

I'm rooting for the Dutch, but I have to admit, Diego Forlan is one cool cat!

 

[puckhead]

ooooh, great save on vandervaart. juicy rebound wasted by Robben

 

[puckhead]

w00t!!! for Orange.

deflection looked offside?? close.

 

[postmaster]

yesss. Dutch up 2-1 on a possible re-direct. very close to offside.

 

[postmaster]

very nice finish on the cross. goalie just stood there.
3-1 Holland

 

[puckhead]

nice!!! that should aughta do it.

batman!

I think this will be the first team a European country wins the World Cup and the host country is outside of Europe...

Props to Uruguay, went farther than just about everyone expected. Kind of sad that Holland's go ahead goal shouldn't have counted. But there's been no shortage of controversy so far in this world cup.

 

[puckhead]

I kind of want Germany to win tomorrow, if only to hear the Dutch fans chant "We want our bicycles back!"

/when the Germans retreated out of Holland in WWII, many of them stole bikes to make their escape.

The beautiful game. With the most pathetic reffing seen since the Steelers/Seahawks SuperBowl.

 

[puckhead]

Uruguay makes it interesting in injury time.
nice play on that free kick. Dutch seemed to be celebrating already?

 

[Dupster]

file it under "too little, too late".
