They got second place. Our Neighbors were for Holland I should add. A deserved Victory for Spainadderseal said:Deserved victory for Spain, Holland played like thugs and got what they deserved- nothing.
Iniesta was never offside. He was just on when Torres attempted to play him in, but it didn't matter because the Dutch defender intercepted. Then with Fabregas's pass, van Bronckhorst tried to push up as he played it but only played Iniesta onside and then couldn't get back on time to make the tackle.Ickorus said:That match was disgusting, that goal should never have been since the spain player was offside on the first pass to him, it doesn't matter if it rebounded off the holland player before reaching him it was still offside.
And some of those calls the referee was (and was not) making were ridiculous.

Well actually, it's football. Thats the name the majority of the world seems to know it as, and it dates back much later than any other sport which you may refer to as football. Theres a game called cuju which football resembles from china, about the period of 476-221 BC according to wiki. So no, it isn't soccer at all.DrEmo said:1.

2. Soccer is 60% diving. To participate in a soccer team you need a Bachelor's in Theater.
3. The other 40% of the game is divided between passing the ball, kicking at nowhere in particular and doing the airplane.
I wanted the Netherlands to win. Oh, well, can't have everything you want, I suppose.
