Lou, I have to watch it and we had better win tomorrow after all the trouble I've gone to.  I've been lashing up a temporary satellite TV installation and LCD projector so the whole school can watch the match in our sports hall on a big screen. Should be good with a 100w power amp and big speakers for added atmosphere.  Crowd control could be problem though.

Hey Lou!! Joe Cole played and didn't cause any grief or worry. Didn't set the house on fire but good at killing time in extra minutes!! Whew. Poor Wayne Rooney, he'll get some goals yet but I can see he must be seething. I don't think this team will last much longer but I am super ready to be surprised!!!!

Good on the USA!!! Another whew and yay!!

I found it really noticeable how few times players on either side in the England match were laying on the pitch moaning and groaning and looking about to see if they can catch the ref's eye. I do not think much of this seemingly Latino based, romantique language, whinging and whining. Aren't they a little bit embarrassed to behave like that??? Not a very good example for the young players. IMHO.

We can just cry into each other's beer. England and the USA...so now who do I cheer for. Netherlands??? Brazil, Portugal?

It hard to believe that Diego Maradona ever played so well. He looks positively like a young Quasimoto! But the 'hand of god and golden goal" were no flukes...he was good with his hand and foot then I guess. Good with mouth now. Ya gotta like him.

England and the USA are both long gone, R.I.P., so now we're down to the finals of this august competition.  Who do you like to take the Copa Mondial tomorrow?  The octopus takes Spain, but I've never been one to trust a critter with more than 2 arms.

Who's it gonna be????

What ever happens therell be a new name on the cup........i have to support the Dutch as Amsterdam is (was) my second home itll be a hell of a party in Dam Square if they win.
I found the Spanish tactics in the fist half of the match against Gemany to be like watching paint dry.

It's good for the sport to see two teams competing who have not won the title before.  I think Spain plays better as a team, but I believe The Netherlands has the emotional edge, since they have been so close a couple of times in the past but have just not been able to win it.

Regardless of who wins, it should be a good match, and has been a very enjoyable World Cup to watch, even if the US team did not go quite as far as I had hoped they would!    ;)

Regular time is officially over and I only have one word to describe this match.  "Boooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnggggggggggg!!!!!
I think it would be more fun to watch the octopus.  I'm going to the Man Cave and work on a bike.

Spain wins 1-nil in second overtime! [smiley=clap.gif]

A rough game from both sides. Spain was marked as a potential dark horse winner before the matches even began. A new and ninth name goes on the Mundo cup. Pretty cool.

And Troy Corser crashed off his WSB R100 during Friday practice. Did not race on Sunday at Brno. Reuben Zaus had a good run in Race One -fifth place- but retired out of Race Two.
