Spose you have to when it's your national color. You should see Orange Day over there.

When you say Orange Day do you mean Queen's Birthday? A great excuse to wear ANYTHING, that is slightly orange and get completely trolleyed. The Orange colour is the official colour of the Dutch Royal Family, hence the famous name in European politics a few years back, Prince William of Orange which leads to slightly different form of Orange Day in Northern Ireland.

Hup Holland Hup!!

I can't see anyone stopping the Gerry's after today's game...The Argentinians could have gone down by at least another 2 or 3 goals but were lucky!!

the only team i can see giving Germany trouble would be the Dutch!

I can't decide if I want the Germans to win, so the Dutch can beat them in the Final (revenge for '74) or whether I want Spain to win so there is no risk of the Germans beating the Dutch and winning it again!

Certainly the Spanish and the Dutch will give Ze Germans a good game, I think the key is you have to start well and at a high tempo, to match the initial German charge. If they get in front the Germans have lots of pace and love playing on the counter attack as the other team has to chase the game and leaves a few gaps for them to expoit.

Either way, it's another good excuse to get drunk in the morning on 12th July, supposed to be snow-boarding during the day, so that could be "interesting" :unsure:

I imagine you snowboarding would be interesting Jon regardless of whether you'd had a few beers or not.

It was a good game this morning. My gf is half dutch too and so are a lot of my mates, but I'm afraid I'm picking the Spanish to take out the final.

Just after watching the Spanish mid-field again I don't know how the dutch will be able to counter it, the Spanish have so much control in the midfield and just grind the other team down until eventually they find an opening. That said though, The Netherlands have been playing very strongly and after another good performance against Uruguay (even though it was a tight match) they're definitely in with a chance.

Its going to be one hell of a game, thats for sure!

I was in the Netherlands last week, they were going nuts when The Netherlands got into the final and it seems all of France wants Spain to win too.

Tight, closed up game. The Dutch intentions were clear and probably necessary but made for horrible viewing. Too many bookings and free kicks but the referee did a good job in controlling it and keeping everyone on the pitch - could have been a lot worse, a lot earlier.

Interesting to see what Arsenal's manager Arsene Wenger has to say about Van Persie's performance compared to Fabragas.

+1. I fell asleep after the first half and woke up to see the goal at the end though, so it worked out alright hah.

haha "just 12 or so sprigs to the chest" ...

Spain were lucky in the end ... the game was pretty damn even and either side could've taken it, Hollands tactics to upset the Spanish backfired in the end with a player being sent off and Spain capitalising with 5 mins left.

Well done Spain.

Was not the best game i've seen .

14 yellows

1 red

And each team passed the ball back to the there own keepers more times than they had shots at goal .

Not sure if that's a compliment or not Ollie, but in the end the snowboarding was a lot like the Spanish play... lots of falling over and screaming!

If that's supposed to be the best in world football today then you can stick it up your arse. It's supposed to be a contact sport, falling over then waving your arms around in front of the ref telling him to book someone is not a part of the game in my book.

Unfortunately the guy who gets paid the least on the pitch has the most pressure to deal with and as usual was found wanting.
