Come on Nederlands (& sort of Official Thread)!

[Washie]

I'd rather none of the semi finalists had made it.

 

[Razmertaz]

F**k that, I need to see Roben in floods of tears.

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

On the pitch, he rivals CR7 and Neymar. Off it, he's a known wànker, unlike the other 2.

I don't know about the off pitch stuff, much like Ronaldo I do think there's always an element of wanting to make them both seem like tossbags as it provokes reaction.

As for him rivalling Ronaldo and Neymar, he's been battling with Big Ron for years but Neymar is nowhere near their level just yet (clearly will be though).

Not sure what that says about the Dutch then.

Fouls committed in first 5 games: Argentina 54, Netherlands 91

Yellow cards in first 5 games: Argentina 5, Netherlands 7

No Jesus was even longer ago but 1974 was 40 years ago

Hup Holland all the way, with the prospect of a tasty 3rd/4th place play-off too.

It won't get rid of the pain, but beating Argentina will go someway towards starting the healing process for Brazil.

Argentina. Can't stand that diving cheat Robben.

Firstly, it wouldn't go anywhere near "starting the healing process". Secondly, they won't beat Argentina because Argentina are quite GOOD. Apart from that, spot on.

 

[Hastings woody]

I have the Germans in our sweep so am happy.

You don't think beating Argentina in a World Cup match is going to make them feel a bit better?

 

[Simster]

Not in a 3rd placed play off, no. When England played in 1990, I couldn't even watch it, and nor could the Italian public as the ground was two thirds empty.

And we hadn't just lost 7-1 to Germany either.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

3rd/4th play-off games are a complete meaningless waste of time.

 

[Kumquat]

3rd/4th play-off games are a complete meaningless waste of time.

Agree on that. Don't think I even bothered watching us lose to Italy in 1990. Supporting the screaming lord sutch for the title this time round although if Argentina won it I'd be quite pleased for Messi.

 

[sparkie]

Would be good to see a Brasil v Argentina match, so come on Netherlands.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Dutch to win for me. Argentina have been a one-man team like Brazil, without Messi, they would have been out ages ago.

Germany and Holland also have a MASSIVE hatred of each other, as to Brazil and Argentina - so to end the World Cup with 2 games where neither team will roll over, will be great for the fans.

 

[Giraffe]

Argentina. I stand to win £70 in the work sweepstake which isn't bad for £1 in.
