[Football] World Cup - Day Twenty - The Quarters Begin

[Triggaaar]

The Holland have no showed in this first half

Indeed, their place taken by the Netherlands

 

[Icy Gull]

Is it just me or are these commentators gagging for a Dutch win

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Romero lol

Most commentators tend to switch during games to be more pro losing teams unless its a dominant performance.

 

[Bodian]

Four bookings in as many minutes!

 

[The Wizard]

Why do people care so much if they are called Holland or Netherlands?

Couldn’t give a flying monkey shit

Because Holland is a part of the Netherlands.

The Dutch are looking very poor, minimal intent.

All Double Dutch to me.

We had on of those lockdown quizes and one answer was the Netherlands (can't remember the question), but one team said Holland.

Holland was allowed to stand as correct.

Another team who said the Netherlands absolutely lost their shit about this and didn't play again

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Holland aren't playing, but the Netherlands are.

Holland only refers to two of their provinces Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland.

oh yes I know and so far only two parts have turned up.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Macca's progression in this tournament hardly enhances our chances at The Valley on a cold December evening.

 

[Zeberdi]

Because Holland is a part of the Netherlands.

They’re not really part of anything at the moment or should I say neither are- it will go to form the result of this

 

[US Seagull]

Apparently Argies should have won the Saudi game comfortably because they had 3 goals ruled out…..

I didn't see the Saudi game because I wasn't getting up at 5 am in the morning to watch Argentina wipe the floor with the Saudis. So all I saw were highlights, and the impression I got was the the Saudi win was a fluke. Seemed they spent most of the game under constant siege and were just very efficient with their rare breaks. Credit to them.

As for 3 goals ruled out, only one of them was a close offside decision. The other two were pretty clearly offside, the last by a couple of yards at least.

Because Holland is a part of the Netherlands.

It was only recently the Dutch government officially dropped Holland as way of describing the whole country. My old atlas says Holland.

The Netherlands included Belgium until 1830.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

C'mon the Dutch...

Play like it's 1974 when you played football on a different level

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I’m going to die on this hill

I still don’t think Argies look any good

 

[schmunk]

"Brighton bought him for £8m from Argentinos Juniors; they could sell him for 50".

 

[Zeberdi]

Excellent play by Mackie

 

[The Fits]

So strange seeing a Brighton player seemingly the best mate of possibly the best player to ever play the game. Amazing understanding between the two.
