Can I just say that I dislike the Netherlands even more now…
I really hate being a bitter **** like this, but gee, are they an awful team man. And what a shitty way to win that was. Mexico was the better team, and they deserved to go on. I hate the way the Netherlands play; they're just really not actually all that good, but they still win all their games and somehow everyone seems to think it's awesome. And then that last minute penalty... things like that always suck (imo, in cases like this referees should into consideration that it's the end of the game and that Mexico had been the better team all game long (just like with the CIV-GRE match)); but this one was by far the worst penalty we've seen in this tuornament. And that ****** Robben even seemed proud of it in interviews after the game.
And then the worst thing is that everyone here is super happy now and this one dude started lighting fireworks right outside our window after the match... blegh.Well, I'm done ranting for now. Sorry, haha. I guess I'll be back the next time the Netherlands have to play.
I really do enjoy the rest of the tournament though, haha ^^
All this talk about "X WAS THE BETTER TEAM TECHNICALLY SPEAKING" is the dumbest fucking thing lol.
This entire thread has been full of it.
This isn't goddamned Final Fantasy, with mathematic technical lineups. It's a physical active sport where the only shit that matters is what's going on in the field and what happens and doesn't.
That's how sports are. It's what happens in the heat of the field. There is no better team except the one that won, stupid ref calls aside.
Jesus christ when an American is telling you you're watching Futball wrong you know you're fucking up.
