English born, with German citizenship, I think. They should hire him to do the weekly predictions for the English Premier League, offers more insight than the likes of Mark Lawrenson.

According to this article, Paul was caught off the coast of Elba. Then again it is Bild, which makes the Daily Mail, the Sun etc. look good.

Hoping the Netherlands win, reckon Spain will get up. Is this a sign, Brumby?

Pothas · 11-07-2010, 08:33 AM

Come on Spain.

Do it for scaly.

I'll be rooting for the Dutchists, but the thought of scaly's frantically dissembling posts ("Holland were far the better team but literally gave the Spanish the win...") in the event of a win for the Spanish is enticing.

Conversely the gloating should the Dutch win ("Spain have always been shyte, only got to the final by playing the worst teams ever & have now been found out...") would take the shine off it a bit.

If anything, I'd say the Dutch have had the slightly easier route to the final, not that any of it matters now.

Difference is Netherlands beat these sides apart from against Brazil (who still were the best team in the competition, but lost it when it mattered and didn't get Spain's inconceivable amount of jam) with a measure of control and superiority. Spain have shown nothing to suggest that if a team like Portugal or Paraguay had managed to put away one of their gilt edged chances they'd have enough to come back. See Switzerland.

TBF I think the 2nd half Brazil was most definitely not worthy of 'one of the best teams'. Probably the worst, in fact.

Scaly piscine · 11-07-2010, 09:48 AM

Brazil still clearly the best side, just didn't win it. That's what happens in World Cups and football.

Scaly what a joke.

Come on Spain!!!

The margins between the top sides are so fine that the only way you can define a "best side" is the one that takes the Cup (as long as it isn't someone like Greece in Euro 2004).

He's right tbf. No one else in the tournament is really as good as Brazil. One bad half doesn't change that. Knockout football hey. The best team hardly ever wins, but the team that does win pretty much always deserves it 100%.

Was the best game I've watched as well, really exciting.

Agree with Scaly WRT to Brazil being the best team so far, not sure exactly what's so funny about it...

Come on Holland!!
