Germany v Spain.. :\
Tbh I don't know what to expect.
I think Spain could do wayyy better than they done today, and everyone knows how good Germany are. lol
I'm definitely for Netherlands to get into the final though.

Spain and Paraguay was fun though. :mrgreen:
Those 2 penalties.. lool, Exciting.

Honestly, Germany > Spain.

Unfortunately, I am getting the feeling Spain will walk through the game due to referee errors.

-edit

Even if you hate his personality, you have to admit he's brilliant.

good game today, first time I've been able to see it on TV and not listening to it on the radio.

Netherlands is going to the Finals, most likely against Spain (my Pick ^^^)

might have to take the day off tomorrow to watch it.

All European Final later this week.

I thought after Uruguay's second goal; "If they pull it to 3 all and it goes to extra time I'll rofl," and after the ref done... whatever he done (Wtf was it? He called foul? Gave a yellow to a NL player then gave NL a free kick..) and the ball ended up down by Netherlands' goal I thought it would. :shock:
Still, awesome game, with awesome shots (NL's 1st and Uruguay's 1st :O) but, imo, Netherlands deserved to go through.

Ah yeah I watched some of that down one of my local clubs. I cant believe some of the goals, one of them was 42 yds out and he just thumped it one and got it in! nice.
I didnt realise anybody else noticed the yellow card, free kick descision. Thought I was seeing stuff.

What the hell, what was the card for? I think it was because one player of us kept screaming it was time to end the game, yet, he didn't.

Puyol's Pantene header. 8)
Knew Spain could try harder, but wow. At one point Spain had 12 attempted shots and Germany had just 2.
Surprised they only got 1 goal out of all that, tbh.
Thought Germany was gonna pull back after the goal though, def. tried at least.

Been predicting the Netherlands would win since May, so they'd better not fail on me now.

Besides, Spain can NOT win. They're...Spain.

I hope Holland will win and avenge Spain for putting Germany down. :D
Voted for Germany, because I was for them... Even though I knew they won't win when I did that. xD Very sad, really... :cry:

Of course they are. Gonna be a big night here - the beer will flow freely, fireworks will be abundant and national pride will be at its greatest.

I don't follow it as much as I do the WC, but i check on scores and players moves,
every now and then, maybe catch a game on TV, when passing channels.
