so, the octopus got it right every single time.  :shock:
:D

but as so often before, what a boring final! not great football at all and full of dirty tricks - the amount of cards  :shock: even the fans were so silent, not much cheering - did everybody choke on their vuvuzela or what? i almost fell asleep during the game and was pissed that it went over time since it was so boring to watch (sorry).

the bronze game was so much better. imo that was a sort of "moral finale" of the tournament. it was an action-filled and situation changed a lot and it changed fast. and there were lots of goals too - not 1-0 like every game by spain seems to be at max  :roll:). and snejder and david villa were just pale figures compared to müller and forlán, the real stars of the tournament.

Indeed the first half of the final was very boring. It became better on the second half and the extra time. I guess teams don't try to risk too much at this level of the tournement. My favourite matchs of the World Cup were

Cameroon - Denmark / Uruguay - Ghana / England - USA / Italy - Slovakia

The Cameroon - Denmark was a round-trip match, very intense until the last second. It was just amazing. Too bad both teams were eliminated on the first round  :?

still, i hope you don't fry me if i say i was really hoping that uruguay would beat germany. i couldn't believe diego forlán missed the last free kick so tightly, it would have been a real classic game if he had scored that one.

I totally agree...



THE MAGICAL MADNESS OF DIEGO MARADONA

"I prefer women. I am dating Veronica, she is 31, she is blonde and she is beautiful. No, I've not gone limp-wristed! But I like to acknowledge and congratulate my players when they play as well as they did today."

- Diego responds to an innocent inquiry about his tendency to pat the bottoms of his players with the most convoluted 'you're gayer than I am!' retort in recorded history.

"Many journalists should apologise to the players. I'm not suggesting you drop your trousers, but it would be honest and great so we all get along better."

– For a someone so resolutely straight, Maradona's comments follow an interesting pattern.


indeed...

:D


that is hilarious!!!! honestly i think he'd be safer in spain indeed ;) of course it's not his fault but i am glad he 'retiered' that was giving me the creeps...

and of course i don't hate you for wanting uruguay to win. i couldn't believe he didn't make that goal either and it was a very good and intense game. uruguay would have deserved it as well :D
