[Jason]

Congratulations to Spain!

From a Germany fan.

[S-H]

Are you German, bro or half German?

----

BTW- A Catalunyan calling himself "Spanish" is something I never thought I'd see! The power of sport.

I think Germany played the best football throughout the tournament, especially in owning Argentina, but they are just too young. I would make them favourites for 2014.

Messi was the biggest flop of the supposed world class individuals. I'm sure if Ronaldo had that many chances, he would've converted at least 1/4 of them.

It's amazing that Torres was so poor throughout the tournament yet Spain still won. Look at us with Rooney and the gap is immense.

Iniesta was superb, Villa is 1 of the best international strikers I've seen, Ramos is a crap defender but a great attacking RB and of course the Puyol-Pique centreback partnership is 1 of the strongest in the world.

It's scary that when Xavi retires, Fabregas will come in. We have the floppy twins Gerrard and Lampard and when they retire........... Er....... Ummmm.......


I'd probably go with this as the World Cup best XI:

Stekelenburg

Lahm Mertesacker Puyol v.Bronckhorst

Sneijder Schweinsteiger Iniesta

Mueller Forlan Villa

I think that David James was the best

[S-H]

Lol. I'm desperately trying to search through posts to see if you slammed him previously.

Green is gonna get some SERIOUS stick this season. Poor sod wont be able to hear the whistle through all the booing.

[Jason]

I'm a quarter German Steve ;D

[M7GT]

I would've loved to see Holland or even Germany win; but those cheaters, no offense but Spain should not have won.

When did Spain cheat?

Do you mean the game against Portugal where their goal was offside?

Any misdemeanors in the final were, for me, offset by Holland's negative tactics and constant cynical fouling (especially by van Bommel who deserved to get more cards than Clintons).

I remember myself backtracking when we signed a Mr Solomon Campbell. ;D

[Jason]

From my dad's side he's half english half german.

You're right Steve especially Nigel de Jong's tackle, I thought I was watching the kick-boxing world cup final for a second.

[S-H]

If your Mum is half-French, half-Italian then you will be 100% Swiss! Ha.

De Jong should've been straight red-carded. Horrible tackle.

I feel sorry for Howard Webb. He was criticised by some idiot pundits for showing as many cards as he did, but he could've/should've showed 2 reds. He tried his best to let the game flow but Holland tried their best to make sure that didn't happen. Luckily, natural justice prevailed.

[M7GT]

I'm at least Italy didn't win they keep falling down faking it and that made me angry that some on some of the calls the ref must be blind.

[Jason]

Haha! My mum is Taiwanese and Dutch so I guess I don't get to be Swiss.

Yeah to be honest I thought Webb was pretty leanient on the Dutch!
