I know it's not accurate but Holland is far easier to type than The Netherlands so I can't be fucked. Most people think my country is part of Australia so I'm allowed to do it in return to others.
And if I get that final I'll win our prediction pool fo sure. |

I must say, it's an vice of language around here. Not only we hear it "Holland" ( Holanda ) all the time, everywhere, but even in the Broadcast in the games, where the Local TV uses the FIFA Footage but with their own graphics, Netherlands gets refered to as Holland and even the short name is "HLD"

Germany England- here's hoping for England loss on penalties. Among media there seems to be almost a desire for the game to go to penalties so England can purge their demons.
Edit: Comical refering rules out an England goal. 1966 in reverse? Last edited by Professor Smarmiarty; 06-27-2010 at 09:42 AM. |

Or at least, they shouldn't complain anymore. EDIT: Game might as well end now to be honest.

England has conference level defending. Germany could have scored 10. David James the keeper has been englands best player by a mile and they still conceded 4 which says something.
In championship manager I once perfected a no defence (0-7-3) strategy but I was considerably more successful than England who also don't seem to be playing any. |

I disagree. Players in the conference seem to give a shit, which is more than can be said for England throughout this whole competition.
Seriously, we should spend the next four years training up the successors to these aging prima donnas.

Time till someone said on the BBC that the disallowed goal would have changed things: 5 min. Oh dear.

This argentina side are going to be very very hard to beat.
Another bad referee decision, one argentina goal miles offside. Made even worse because it was shown on the big screen at the ground (which is not allowed) so everyone knew ref was wrong. |

The majority of reports I've read, including the hundreds of comments on the guardian, agree that the goal would have changed nothing. And anyone who doesn't is wrong because England were awful, their defencewas awful, they were lucky it was 10-1. That goal would have changed nothing, German were slaughtering hteir defence.

The thing is that the goal would have happened very soon after Germany already conceded. That may very likely have put Germany off balance, allowing England to potentially take the initiative.
You have to factor the psycological aspects of the goal really. The ultimate effects it would have had is hard to say, but to say it would have made no difference is just naive.
