But now, Netherlands vs Uruguay. They played each other in 1974:



"Karmic football" again? Well, this team is not as good as that wonderful Rinus Michels' Clockwork Orange (you know, the so-called "total football" and all that). Neither it's like that of Gullit, Rijkaard and Van Basten in the 80's and 90's.

Aside from the fact the Dutch hate the Germans even more than the English & there's a shitload of bad blood between them it'll make for a really entertaining game.

And I think the Dutch deserve a world cup win for what they've given to the game throughout history.
I'll second this post. It's my sentiments verbatim.

Are only Englishmen given a straight red for "afters"?

Beckham and Rooney got their marching orders for less than the push from the Dutchman.
Holland should be a man down by rights.

That's exactly what I thought. Especially Beckham's "kick". If you can call it a kick..

Tbh, i've lost interest in the world cup. It's been really dissapointing. I'd like Holland to win but i'm really not that bothered as long as Spain don't win.

Really? It just keeps getting better and better for me. That Holland/Uruguay was great imo. Then again this world cup is pretty much my first endeavor with soccer/football so that may be my inexperience talking.

Its probably the poorest World Cup in some time but there has been some dramatic matches and Uruguay have been involved in two of them. Problem is the World Cup is just to big with 8 groups!!! Its diluted by too many inferior teams (not naming names and some did very well too) But they go out to play for boring draws and just aim to survive. The tournament really missed out on some of Europe`s most exciting teams Russia, Turkey and Croatia three teams that really excited at Euro 2008. There is also too much emphasis on the fitness/physical side of the game and there have been a lot of teams in these finals that have adopted this style. Star players just seem to arrive at WC`s more exhausted than ever and call me a old fashioned but for me the World Cup should be played in a HOT climate (Mexico, Spain and Italy) and these have probably provided the best World Cups over the last 25 years or so.............roll on Brazil 2014.
