Kosmo Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 This is going to be a great final of a very good World Cup. I liked all semifinalists but I cheered for the Dutch and the Germans. No matter who wins now because they are both teams that play beautiful football and deserve to finally get the cup. Finally some variation!

Klingan Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 That octopus better stay far far away form me, it's clearly his fault that Germany lost and I'm not happy about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Even though I'm quite indifferent as to who will win on Sunday, I'll be following Paul's predictions closely tomorrow... http://www.breakingnews.ie/sport/octopus-o...ion-464700.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion-Macro Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 oh Germany was outplayed totally, and you know what Centurion-Marco? If Spain wins on Sunday then New Zealand is the only team in the tournament that has not lost one game, hows that! Now that would be something to blog about, someone other than our Rugby team being famous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 According to Mani, the parakeet, The Netherlands will win on Sunday... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...0070900580.html Let's see if Paul confirms Mani's prediction.

guy Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) I'm not a soccer fan. In fact, I'd rather watch two men fish than watch the World Cup finals. That said, I'm hoping the best for the Dutch team. The Dutch have a long history of conflict against Spain. Fortunately, the Dutch prevailed in their war against Spain in the 1500s-1600s. Had the Dutch lost, Europe today might be like the modern Middle East, plagued with religious and racial hatred and violence. They won, however, allowing the first modern nation republic to survive. Hopefully, they will be successful, again. Ironically, I was in Argentina in 1978 when Argentina played the Netherlands in the finals. My brother was in the Netherlands with the US military at the same time. Neither of us could have cared less about the finals (although I'm sure he attended better parties in Holland than I could in the military junta-ruled Argentina). guy also known as gaius Ik hou van Amsterdam.

Medusa Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 I watched of course yesterday's match of Germany vs. Uruguay although it was just the match for the bronze medal. But Octopus Paul had predicted this victory. For today his tip is Spain, what I believe, too. But who knows, this World Cup was so full of surprises, maybe the Netherlands win in the end ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docoflove1974 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Well, it was one of the most lackluster final games I've seen in a while, but Spain deserved the win. That goal by Iniesta was quite sweet. Buen hecho, Espa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centurion-Macro Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I have not watched the final, but my family told me that the Netherlands were bad losers, and that they gained many yellow and red cards. ~As Viggen mentioned before, New Zealand is the only country in the World Cup never to lose a game. Oh yeah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
