I'm not all that into football, really, but wow! that Spain/Netherlands match was fantastically entertaining and great PR for the sport.

Yes on all accounts!
We had been looking forward to this match and our expectations were exceeded.

Yes, I loved that one, too! He outright dove into the ball. I couldn't get enough of it and apparently neither could the TV people. :laugh: They showed it almost a dozen times from all angles and in slow-mo. 8)
I was pretty neutral in the beginning, but the Netherlands totally won me over. And they can thank me for tie-ing the score shortly before half-time. ;) I had said they need to make the 1:1 now, before the 45 mins are over - and then they did! ;D :laugh:
Penthesilea:
As an aside: Torres lost not only his long hair, but also the too blond highlights. ;D
Penthesilea:
What was that? :o
Germany beats Brazil 7:1! In a World Championship semi-final. Un-f*cking-believable. :o
We couldn't fathom what was happening right before our eyes. Somewhere in the press today I read the sentence Germany was just as shocked as Brazil which I think is pretty apt. Only with the better outcome for us of course.
Well done, German team! :D
