But that's football: in a knockout stage, winning by 1-0 is no different from winning by 48-0.
Yep. Spain's only scored 7 goals throughout the entire World Cup to Germany's 13, and now they're going to the finals. There'll be a new world champion this year, either the Netherlands or Spain; it's going to be a good final this year. Also, shame on Pedro. His selfishness could have costed Spain the whole match.

All hail the clairvoyant "Paul the Octopus"!

Well played Spain. Well played. That was an excellent match, even if I spent half of it with a cushion stuffed in my mouth to stop me from screaming.

How's your thirst for adventure, Captain?

What do you mean by "those first two goals shouldn't have counted"?

Looks like Paul the Octopus was right about the outcome of the Germany vs. Spain match.

Probably means that one offside goal?

Anywho, I thought this was an incredible game and definitely worthy of a semifinal match title. Both teams played great and even if it might have seemed boring in the first half, I thought each team did a wonderful job at countering the other's moves. The goal itself was amazing and it just seemed like it totally flew beyond Neuer. Despite the win, I kinda feel bad for Pedro, I can see him sitting out the final, or at least not starting.

Annnnnd even though every other prediction blew up in my face, I'm still calling this as a victory for Spain and they'll be the team I'm rooting for.

Well too bad they figured out it wasn't offside since it was a double deflection.

K? Thanks. :)

Remember for the first goal it was a great strike but van Bommel clearly fouled a Uruguayan player in the build up to the goal. I also think because van Persie moves towards the ball it's offsied and I have noticed that even if a ball hits a defender in this World Cup the linesmen still give it as offside. I admit I thought the rule was if it hit a defender it wasn't offside but too many have been given offside then.
I would have a better signature but I can't think of one.

Oh yeah I also heard about Paul the Octopus. He's so cool dude.

And that spectator than ran into the field was just hilarious! All the players were like o_O WTF?! Lol!

I'm so happy that there is no WC previous winner in the finals this time. I'm all the way for Holland even though I know it will be hard.

We also must remember, Van Bommel gets away with murder. *cough*CLQuarterFinal(cough*

He is easily one of my most disliked players, along with Gallas & Tevez.

Awww don't say that, van Bommel is a sweetheart...I love him..He's so nice to refs, even for his club, that's why he doesn't get booked like the real *****.

Oh god damn, I had betted with three people that Netherlands will win. I was supporting Spain in the final, but as because 38/44 people in my class were supporting Spain, I decided to support Holland. Paul should go to Spain :D. Some celebrity chef in Spain said he'll remove octopus from his restaurant's menu after Paul correctly predicted Spain-Germany :o.

Paul has predicted that Germany will beat Uruguay in the third place match.

Well, the Octopus has spoken. I should start celebrating now, we have won the World Cup.

LOL! I saw that before, made me laugh.

What does everyone think of this world cup?

After all the hype, I think it has been very disappointing, more so from the England camp.

For me too it was a great world cup, but sadly England and Switzerland crashed out early. I wanted a Uruguay vs Germany final, but that couldn't be :(
Look on the bright side, at least you got a Uruguay vs Germany third place play-off.

Am I the only one who thinks that this world cup wasn't so great as it could be? And it isn't because Portugal was sent home early, there were few goals from teams we expect more (ex.Spain). Also, there were a lot of draws in the group stage. Only when we got in the quarter finals we started to see better matches. So, now we have Spain - Netherlands for final.. two great teams playing good football.. but I hope they both lose, unfortunatly it's impossible -.-
