World Cup 2010 (that's interesting)

This is the problem with the Dutch team at the moment. No speed up front. Robben’s last action was a good example. Rather then just taking a shot he turns and promptly gets surrounded by the defence.

And for the love of god, bench van Persie as he is just continuing his streak of mediocrity.

robsam · 2010-07-02T07:51:27.000Z

Damn, what an ugly game. Robben might as well shoot when he’s one v five in the box, because help isn’t coming from his teammates. And where is Van Persie?? Very disappointed in the Netherlands right now.

JD:

Damn, Brazil’s goal was a fantastic play. Superb pass that sliced through the defense.

You’re joking, right? Heitinga was in no-man’s land and Robben (!) was the guy tracking the runner. Holland’s defence is all over the place - losing Mathijsen has screwed them.

I’d be less irritated if Brazil weren’t such a dirty, cynical team. Christ. This is ugly stuff. They make Van Bommel look like an angel.

Robben: Please remember you do have a right foot. Coming inside every time is not going to fool anyone.

Goal for Holland.

robsam · 2010-07-02T08:10:45.000Z

Fuck, what a goal!!

Robben, in a game of bad dives by Brazilian players, you committed the worst dive of all right before that goal was scored.

rowe33 · 2010-07-02T08:18:31.000Z

Yeah, once again the diving is making this hard to watch. That Robben dive was horrific! I want the Dutch to win but I’d much prefer a better game.

JD · 2010-07-02T08:19:24.000Z

JM:

You’re joking, right?

No? Obviously, the Dutch defense screwed up here. That, however, doesn’t make the actual pass any worse. Robinho saw the gap, Melo’s pass timing and direction was perfect. Bam.

robsam · 2010-07-02T08:25:02.000Z

Yes! 2-1 Holland.

rowe33 · 2010-07-02T08:25:57.000Z

Wow, ok, now THAT’s a good goal…

Woolen_Horde · 2010-07-02T08:30:29.000Z

RED CARD!!!

robsam · 2010-07-02T08:31:24.000Z

And now a red card. Bye Brazil, sorry you decided to play like Italy.

Okay, maybe too soon for goodbyes, but it’s certainly going to be tougher for Brazil with ten men.

triggercut · 2010-07-02T08:38:08.000Z

I can barely breathe…

Hunty · 2010-07-02T08:38:11.000Z

Man alive. Felipe Melo had the sort of game that you literally have nightmares about if you play any sport to any vaguely competitive standard. World Cup Quarter Final, massively important game, starts well with a brilliant through pass… followed by a horrific own goal and an even worse red card.

Skipper · 2010-07-02T08:39:39.000Z

no joke, this game is a match. I’m sitting on the edge of my seat.

triggercut · 2010-07-02T08:40:12.000Z

Please Holland Please Holland Please Holland

HRose · 2010-07-02T08:41:28.000Z

Juventus (a disastrous Italian team), after killing Italy, kills Brazil.

Notice that Felipe Melo plays for Juventus and won in 2009 the “worst player of the year” award. Responsible of 2 goals and sent out.

triggercut · 2010-07-02T08:42:08.000Z

God as my witness, I thought Kaka was going to equalize.

robsam · 2010-07-02T08:45:20.000Z

Kaka missed it, and then Kuyt wasted a chance.

JD · 2010-07-02T08:50:11.000Z

Jesus, Huntelaar you moron.

EDIT: Aaaaaand done. Damn. Throught Brazil was going to prevail, but I don’t mind being wrong here.

triggercut · 2010-07-02T08:51:10.000Z

ORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANJE!!!
