Kiwis, only undefeated team - we were unbeatable. Therefore the best!!

I thought thats how they ran things anyway? btw awesome movie (Dune), he looks like the BrainBug off Starship Troopers too (which really sux as a movie).
Is he speaking Dutch? or reading aloud the FIFA referee handbook? ![]()
hmmm
Primo pls shut up, your arguments are ridiculous, every person in the planet + the pope think several holland players shoulda been sent off by red card. You are showing yourself ridiculous saying DeJong is not a skilled player and then claiming to be in a final to throw free kicks (on chests). If you dont have skilled players then how the hell you reached the final? by KO of your opponents? 1 image is more precise than 1000 words, so you can say all the words you want trying to defend the undefendable, we have lots of images to prove you wrong again and again. Why dont you just sit down and read what Cruyff says? he knows about football, and he's ashamed because netherlands played anti-football, in a WC final, in front of millions of eyes all over the world, and all those eyes watched a frustrated holland trying to stop spain football with fouls and more fouls, and then even whining to the referee on and on.
You lost, stop whining, If I were Alonso your poor skilled Dejong would be denounced right now for a free agression, no matter it is a football match, with the law in my hands I would make him pay and explain in front of a judge. Football is meant to show fair play, if we all follow holland lessons soon the football players will take guns to the WC finals ![]()
And Chris, pls, stop calling us spaniards, you fatass yankee, you might be one of those spaniards you so fancifully mention without knowing it.
^this said from the respect ![]()
SI SI SI, LA COPA YA ESTA AQUI! ![]()
I'm not whining at all, I have repeated that spain deserved to win over and over.
It is not relelvant at all of his foot was on his chest or halfway up his left nostril. The thing that determines wether or not it's a red card is intention. You can not convince me otherwise.
The van Persie thing, if you give a direct red card for that, not a single match would end with more than 8 people per team. If it were a tackle from behind, yes, now it's just a missed sliding tackle, yellow card at the most.
As for your claims about dutch football, I hope you are smart enough to realise the footie spain is playing is completly based on dutch football, the dutch football brought to spain by michels and cruijff. One would think you'd show a little more respect.
I'm not saying I like the way the dutch played in the final, hell, you can ask amok how much i was cursing at them, i watched the match with him.
And still I don't hear you about Spain's foul play either. If you're gonna be all righteous about it, at least look at both sides of the medal.
Whats wrong with the word Spaniard?
You're both biased supporters! ![]()
I see De Jong's foul for what it is, pure ass(chest)kicking, and am proud of it, that be true grit and fighting spirit! Although my point of view is heavily influenced by my new employer...
I was kinda thinking the same thing
maybe it is an outdated word/name they never use anymore? I have not heard them being called Spaniards for a long time now though.... maybe a Spanish person can elaborate for us?
I always thought the word "Spanish" is used for the entire people, and the word "Spaniard" is used for a single person.
"As for your claims about dutch football, I hope you are smart enough to realise the footie spain is playing is completly based on dutch football, the dutch football brought to spain by michels and cruijff. One would think you'd show a little more respect."
Exaxctly, not completely based but it is true Cruyff left his footprint here, and I'd show a great respect for THAT football, that football your players are unable to play because they're taught the wrong lesson. When it comes to a final, any sportman should at least try to play it, and you didnt.
I'm beginning to understand why this sport is popular
Everybody has tried it
And you all agree the pros do it wrong
And the officiating is BS
And the equipment is junk
And the crowds are a disgrace
Its impossible not to argue about it ![]()
Everybody has tried it --> I played at school since I was 6, then played 3 years in a filial team for Celta de Vigo as juvenil, others just tried it, but I talk from my real experience in an official team, not only as I supporter. I was a dangerous forward and goalscorer and received all kind of agressions in my short football career until I got an ankle injury that forced me to leave it. And I recognize I punched, kicked and played dirty also some times when it was necessary and I even broke an opponents leg once when fighting for a ball. Every match was like a battle in stone and sand fields, we barely touched the green playing in those inferior cathegories, where referees were too blind when you played as visitant because they were constanly threatened by the oponent suporters.
So I know what I'm talking about when it comes to football subjects. A karate kick like DeJons' woulda been more than enough to form a real battle at a inferior cathegory, I've known players banned forever from football for minor agressions, hence I am really upset for seeing that is allowed in a WC final.
I have played football for over 12 years on a very decent level, I think I know what I'm talking about ![]()
And you won't hear me say I'm proud of the football shown by the dutch team this world cup, however, for the first time in 32 years, they reached the final, that's gotta be worth something. Holland has always been known as the best team never to win a world cup. They always played the best football, and then got knocked out. This was the other way around for once, not as exciting to watch, but a result would be nice.
Officially England's worst World Cup finals ever (apart from the times they didn't qualify
)

People that live in Spain = Spanish
Spanish + Bastard = Spaniard
Amor = Arse
And I fail to see how I bash others when people here is calling me bastard. I wouldnt mind you calling me that if we are friends, but we arent.
Spaniard is the singular noun for a person from Spain. Spanish is an adjective.
"Jorge is from Spain"
"Jorge is Spanish"
"Jorge is a spaniard"
Are all valid constructions in English. Spaniard is a genuine word and is not a portmanteau contrived to insult you.
i find this hilarious.
spaniard is from FRENCH Espaignard it is sort of archaic english for a resident of Spain, "Spain" being a pretty new concept since it was a bunch of kingdoms up until about 1450. so no it is not an abbreviation for "spanish bastard" i guess you don't know since english is a second language? it is NOT a internet abbreviation
you didn't read this thread, I am descended from spanish bastards who enslaved a hemisphere ![]()
the squid has supposedly retired.
but we know he can't just sit around all day eating boxed dinners
