<p>What an unreal game</p>

742

<p>About time Spain scored.</p>

743

<p>OK lets stop now. How much time left?</p>

744

<p>!!!</p>

745

<p>Done and done!</p>

746

<p>Once again, the octopus is right. Boo</p>

747

<p>OK. OK. OK. I am going to make parakeet rotisserie. Can someone recommend me some Spanish beer? Please don’t let me use Corona or Dos Equis.</p>

<p>ole, ole, Espana gana! anyhow, the game was kind of violent…i’m not sure if it’s me, but I think Netherlands created more opportunities for goal. Casillas is an excellent goal keeper…overall, Espana played better, and their game was cleaner than Netherlands…</p>

<p>I think Spain just hid their dirty fouls better. They were much better actors when they fell and rolled around writhing in pseudo-agony. However, they did have beautiful footwork and great speed.</p>

751

<p>Campeones, campeones, ole ole ole!</p>

752

<p>I take it Spain won. I fell asleep midway through the second half and woke up ~30 minutes later and found I hadn’t missed anything. Still 0-0. After watching some more no scoring I drifted off again. This time when I woke up it was all over.</p>

753

<p>Not telling!</p>

754

<p>Now the soccer withdrawal begins…though I had it whipped when D went away to college…after the last few weeks, I am afraid it may be back again.
Also glad there was no shoot out. Has there ever been a WC won in a shoot out?</p>

755

<p>2006 and 1994</p>

756

<p>I thought it was a good thing that the Dutch (and the English) did not win in South Africa.</p>

757

<p>I missed the whole thing, but I’ll catch a replay of the extra time …</p>

758

<p>Viva la roja!!</p>

759

<p>

I know a few people who were rooting against the Dutch because of their history in South Africa.</p>

<p>As a relative newcomer to the sport (I don’t count the kid soccer that my S played), after the US lost, it was fun to cheer for a team just because I like their style of play or individual players. I am now acquainted with many of the major names currently playing the sport. Although I don’t see the majority of people in the US becoming fans, I think with the growth of cable tv, it will be easier to follow. In the past, we were at the mercies of NBC, ABC, and CBS.</p>
