World Cup!

I think the Netherlands will win.

Do note that all my predictions have been wrong so far and I secretly want Spain to win really

The vuvuzela's will win and take over the world.

I like the fact that we now have two teams in the final which has never won the WC before

That's kinda cool, tho, imo Spain is doing some horrible games to keep winning. You know, the same strategy that Greece loves and so on, might win games but it sure is boring to see, also they've been getting blessings from the referees... Eh Whatever.

I wanted the Netherlands to win but, probably it will end up as any other Spanish game, passing ball 90% of the time, then one lolshot goal, closed defense and spending time on everything til it's over. meh.

You mean like holland played all tournament?

Our defense is better than spain's, our midfield is on par, maybe even better (Van Bommel fuck yeah, most underestimated player this WC), our offense is better than spain if Robben plays. We score easier than spain. They needed a defender to make the one goal last night, from a horribly defended corner for fucks sake! :p

Summarized: We'll see. Holland is known to screw up when it matters. On paper, I think we're better.

All of Hollands goals againt Brazil were lolgoals so....

Go Holland! (Spain will win)

I think Mexico!

Now don't get me wrong, it is an octopus but so far it's predicted most of the wins.

It went straight for the German flag when it was England versus Germany.

Who knows, maybe it's good at predicting. *shrug*

I just remembered I posted this.

The octopus was right about the Spain vs Germany match. I wonder if they'll do it for the finals now.

It better go for the Dutch box.

Paul will vote Netherlands, they eat less squid.

Right so...

Goalkeeper - I'd say Casillas is the better one.
Defence - This might be pretty equal on both teams.
Midfield - Well, Iniesta and Xavi might not be as "strong" as the dutch midfield, but they sure as hell know how to pass the ball around, and to hold on it, hence they'll probably control the midfield. (again)
Attack - Holland will take the lead there, they can simply just pass the ball once and shoot it in (Robben), instead of keep making mistakes like Fernando Torres or Pedro. (( But Torres will probably not be in the match to begin with, anyway )), but I'm pretty sure either David Villa or Wesley Sneijder will score in this match.

I think Holland are the ones to make a surprise...Spain played their previous match better, regardless of the lack of goals.

I joked about Spain winning in the beginning. I'm not exactly rooting for them, per se, but the £20 off my flatmate'll be worth it.

Go go Spain, etc.

I just noticed how many people voted for England.

Just goes to show you something, huh?

I just noticed the amount of people voting for the netherlands increased a bunch.... At the start of the cup almost no one seemed to think we would get so far.

That people can't tell apart "I'd wish" and "I predict"?

That most people on this forum are from England?

When I voted I actually rated England *shrugs*

Then they played football...

Doh. That was horrible. So horrible. I gonna kill that god damn- Bleh.. Anyway! He went for spain.

On the other hand, he was right about all the games in the Euro thingy, beside the final aswell. So he might be wrong about the final once more.

I'm English, well, I guess, it's where I live and was born, though... yeah, anyway...

And I put my money (as in voted for) Spain on this poll. And I still vote for them. Mainly because I don't want the Netherlands to win now.

Rooting for Netherlands to win the final \o/

A parakeet has been predicting the same outcomes and it says Netherlands will win.

The way the parakeet does it is there's cards that are turned over, the bird then comes out of it's cage and turn over the card and give it to the owner, revealing whatever flag was on it.

I flipped a coin. It came up tails. Tails means Spain.

I may have done this for every other result. And I may have got some or all of them correct.

Honest.
