4:0 for yermany!
I don't fall if somebody touches me a bit, so shouldn't prof players.
Holland will come out on top.
WTF
Will be a tough final against NL tho I think. :)
well now you know :p
And dont forget the fact that we didnt have to play at full potential to beat every opponent we had this WC. You might be in for a suprise just yet..
Let's be honest here, except for Brazil you only played versus noobs. And even Brazil was pretty damn weak.
btw NERDRAGE :D gl vs Spain.. You'll need it.
Besides that.. who says you aren't one of those weak teams.. ;)
:DD gl vs Spain.. you'll need it.
I'd wish you good luck vs Uruguay, but you guys won't need it because once again, you get the easy team.
And it is true that I expect ger - spa to be a more exciting match then ura - ned :P
Does that make sense to you?
e. lol a belgian rooting for the germans.. don't you feel a little bit pathetic rhand?
It sure beats the hell out of rooting for the Netherlands, you already got plenty of arrogance going for you. Someone has to stick up for the Germans as well.
Not to mention I'd rather watch a match of Germany than Netherlands on this WC, the game Netherlands bring is so boring that I'd rather stare at a wall.
En trouwens heb ik in Eindhoven al een hele hoop belgen gezien die wél Nederland komen ondersteunen.
en enthousiasme != arrogantie. Een hele hoop nederlanders dachten dat we zouden verliezen tegen Brazilïe (welke al kaartjes waren aan het verkopen voor de finale met bra - ... erop) dus wie is er dan arrogant?
Okee de spelers zijn egonerds maar dan ook bijna alleen van persie.
Zou ik ook gedaan zijn als ze speelden zoals vroeger, maar dat komt er niet echt uit, vandaar dat ik liever voor Duitsland supporter.
Het grote merendeel is arrogant en dat is gewoon een feit. Zij verklaren Nederland al als winnaar van zodra de kwalificaties zijn afgerond.
Zelfs de trainer is redelijk arrogant, hij zegt zelf 'we kwamen hier alleen om het WK te winnen' Op zich is er niets mis met die GEDACHTE, maar de formulering is simpelweg arrogant. Als hij had gezegd 'het WK willen winnen' kwam dit al veel bescheidener over.
Of proberen winnen, of w/e
In 2008 was het niet anders, ook toen verklaarde vele supporters Nederland al als winnaar na de kwalificaties.
Ik kan daar gewoon niet tegen. :)
En overmoed komt voor de val.
Ik denk dat de match tegen Urugay nog wel eens slecht zou kunnen uitdraaien als die Nederlandse ploeg die niet serieus opneemt.
Er is minder kwaliteit daar, ja. Maar zij willen er wel keihard voor gaan en dat maakt een ploeg altijd gevaarlijk.
xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
SCHADE DEUTSCHLAND ALLES IST VORBEI! :D
en dat van dat we komen om te winnen noemt men zelfverzekerd zijn.. niet overmoedig. hf with 3rd or 4th
Spanje was de betere ploeg. En ze waren niet overmoedig, ze hadden enkel een mindere dag.
We zullen maar zwijgen over de zielige prestatie van Nederland tegen Uruguay zeker?
Er is een verschil tussen zelfzeker zijn en arrogant. Als je zelfzeker bent weet je dat je het KUNT. Als je arrogant bent zeg je dat je het al gewonnen hebt, de match is enkel een formaliteit.
Met die mentaliteit stond Nederland er en ze kwamen weer op voorsprong door middel van zo'n kutgoal van kust de klote. 2 x afgeweken, wees trots ofzo. :)
Naja, gefeliciteerd met de 2de plaats zeker? ;)
(sarcasitische ironie is misschien wat moeilijk voor je, vandaar dit berichtje :))
Feiten zijn feiten en als je dat niet snapt dan ben je echt maar een bekrompen persoon. xD
Blijkbaar doet t pijn genoeg bij je om door te zeuren over Nederland terwijl wij wel de finale spelen en jullie niet.
onverdiend of verdiend is maar jouw mening, meer niet.
Nederland > Duitsland. Heb er maar vrede mee xD
Low is playing dutch game style with high scores and attractive football...
Our dutch coach plays to win doesn't mather how we do it, we just do it with one more goal that the other team...
And i hope it will become Netherlands versus the Germans in the finals cause it will be a nice game to watch and fun to see wich team will preform better...
But never forget that you germans have learnd something from us in our game style and don't say that's not true since 5 players of bayern munchen are traind by a dutch coach already so that already for like 45% of the team:P
So don't be so arrogant about the dutch team and no team is a newb that plays in the worldcup cause they are the 32 best teams of the world so that counts for something;)!
England didn't even played on there best and if that goal wasn't been canceld then it would have been a turning point in the game so you would never know that out come!
So think again before you say something about the dutch team when you don't even got your fact's straight of your own team;)!
Attacking football is a dutch invention? Amazing.
Biggest bullshit I have ever read. Löw already started with this tactics in 2006. The only thing we have to thank Van Gaal for is enabling the growth of Müller.
Who is the 5th btw? Klose, Müller, Schweini and Lahm = 4.
I'm not arrogant about the dutch team, you and 16 million other dutchies are. I was slightly condescending about the team and it's performances.
And please, do you even believe that bullshit yourself? You honestly believe New Zealand is a better team than Russia, Ireland, Sweden, Turkey, etc.? The World Cup features NOT the 32 best countries in the world, but the best countries per continent. And quality gaps between some continents are huge. Only Europe and South America usually send mostly quality teams. But Asian, North American and African teams are usually split 50-50 between good teams and bad teams (Honduras, South Africa, North Korea, New Zealand).
It Could have been a turning point, you can't know it Would have been a turning point.
PS: Brazil didn't play their best either. And if Julio didn't miserably fail you wouldn't have won the game because that was a turning point.
Please think before you say anything at all.
So at least half of what played was noobs according to you?
And did you miss the bra - ned game because I highly doubt you took a good look at that match.
And are you trying to say Brazil wasn't underperforming? That Brazil was playing well? I hope I am misunderstanding you...
If a famous coach like van Gaal would tell me all this shit you've been ranting on about the dutch team I would more easily say I concur, he's been there, he's done that. But you are just another one in the crowd who also happens to favor germany.
So stop selling your opinion as fact and see what the future brings before you make to much assumptions.
just my 2 cents.
I'm often wrong, I know, but with all due respect, I don't like the way NL plays at the moment, I haven't found them impressive at any given moment in this World Cup. They also have been allocated relatively easy teams to compete against both in the groups and in the playoffs. Brazil wasn't playing close to their usual level either.
Lots of dutch people might disagree, perhaps rightly so. This is not THE truth, but it is MY truth and nothing you (or any other dutch guy) say will change it.
Did you saw the match or not?
Typical
That's a wrong conclusion. The problem and stereotype of the Dutch football was that your players enjoyed the good looking football (and their own ego) so much that they disregarded efficiency, compactness, discipline and defensive at general. Furthermore dutch football was always counting on their better individuals, unlike Germany.
German football is/was about: 'How can I reach the maximum based on the given pool of individuals regardless of the way to play?' So what makes football teams successful? Discipline, fitness, team spirit, will, preparation, efficiency, tactic, effort, defense, you name it. These are the values we are known for and these values are still the base of our football even in this tournament. Just one thing changed about the last 10 years, we got the individuals to play simple fast played efficient counter attacks. But that's only possible and the outcome of the above listed points.
The result may look similar but the way of playing football is actually completly different and surely not 'the dutch style'. It's more like van Marwijk is playing the German style on a lower level, eventhough I don't say we would beat the elftal in a possible final as u got better individuals and there is also much luck involved. I'm even doubting we will beat Spain.
Belgium owns pretty much in FIFA 10 btw. It's the favorite team of our 2on2 squad since a few months.
It all depends on the shape of the day. There to small difference between the real top teams this worldcup. We can play bad an win, you guys play really nice football to watch. Spain is playing exactly like 2008. Just had few bad days like us. Hopefully it will be epic final, whoever is going to play it will be really exciting and no clear favorite.
just a quote from him
And i replied to him, that stekelenburg is 27, and Bastos is a midfielder and Robben would made him crazy. He had allmost red, Stekelenburg saved the day for us. And Juilo Cesar failed. We didnt' saw fabiano because ooijer who doesnt have a club didnt gave him a chance. And the defenders where top of brazil, we could see that with our corners and free kicks.
Just showing that he doesn't know anything and is just random spamming. It's his personal opion rather than facts
- Stekelenburg had only 1 topsave.
- Julio Cesar failed because Wesley (who knows Julio's weak points because they train together every day) expertly "abused" his shortcomings. Doesn't change my opinion (and that of many people in the world) that Julio is a world class keeper.
Uruguay don't deserve to be in the semi-finals but it will probably be an easy win for Holland anyway. Ghana vs Holland would have been an interesting match.
Germany to win.
How are you btw enjoying the football games or not?
Still playing ET active or a little less active?
and barely, sometimes some pub, and even less sometimes some 3n3.
last time i played serious is like 1.5years ago
Would like to see the dutch win though!
edit: they might need a 3rd map to win :)
2nd Spain
3rd Holland
Spain - germany
Holland - uru
(even though I don't really care about football)
I still think the game yesterday was a combination of Spain finally putting it together and playing almost at 100% and the young German squad being way too respectful. They missed their usual fast, little bit risky and totally respectless play. They were way too afraid of doing any mistakes which resulted in almost no attacks at all. Spain absolutely deserved the win yesterday.
And to be honest, the style of Germany's game was just detestable. Sure your counter-tactic might be smart, but then you still gotta win it. Mourinho did it great with Inter, and he pulled it off against Barca. It was fucking shit to watch, but you gotta give him credit for the tactical masterpiece. Germany tried the same, but fucking failed miserably. Good riddance.
