FIFA World Cup Enters The Final Straight: Semi-Final One- Uruguay vs. The Netherlands

I'm watching this, I just missed the Dutch goal, but Forlan has a touch of class.

I am routing for the Dutch in this one tbh, but it's a good game so far.
 
Diego Forlan has been more beastly than Sneijder in this tournament Ferbs.

That might be true. But Sneijder has been consistently impressive if you ask me. I feel he has the bigger chance of being in line for a Golden boot (player of the tournament) than Forlan. But there's also great choices from Germany such as Klose and Müller.
 
Just going to the halftime segment now, so awaiting ITV's stream to fuck it up for me.

Golden boot goes to the top goalscorer. And Forlan has more chance of being in line for both top goalscorer and also player of the tounrmament. Suffice to say, both will be in the team of the tournament.
 
Oh yes that's right.

Sneijder could go both ways as well. David has 5 goals. Sneijder has 4.

Of course all depending on who ends up in the finals, if it's Germany I could see Müller or Klose taking it home, they both have 4 as well. But if Spain goes through, Villa has a good chance.

Mostly due to the fact that Germany or Spain would go through the winner, and I could see all 3 scoring in the Spain vs Germany game, which would leave the finals for extra scoring possibilities.

That's good Dirty. The Dutch empire needs all they can to ravage the scavengers from the west.

Think the main thing I want to see from Germany/Spain is Klose matching or even beating Ronaldo's World Cup record, with the way he's been playing, he deserves it.

How far is he?

Klose is a fucking beast when it comes to scoring. 4 goals in 2002, 5 goals in 2006 and 4 goals thus far in 2010. He is definitely one of my favorites in this world cup.

I was surprised when I looked him up on Wikipedia only to see he was only (stretch I know) playing for Bayern Munchen and not some bigger world cup.
 
Am I the only one who has eagerly been wanting to see someone making a save, or missing a save, and then head contacting with one of the poles? I don't know why but I think it could be hilarious to watch. Not the pain part but the jump and connecting.

The same Bayern Munich who were in the Champions League final this year, having beaten Man. United on the way?
 
Slightly related, I have seen a vid of a Liverpool defender (think it was Hypia), where he made a sliding tackle to get the ball, only he slipped a bit further and ended up being posted...you can guess where...

1 behind Ronaldo now, so 2 to overtake.
 
Cor, only won 1 in 5 semis Holland have, 3 of the losses on penalties, the other was 1-0 win by West Germany.

It's not a hit against Bayern Munchen. I think they're good. But they're nowhere near the dominant team that they were in the early 00's late 90's from my understanding. I heard they used to be one of the more "oh shit not them" kind of teams.

Phoenix - Well I can only hope he overtakes. Could be epic. Or he does it by 2014 because he'll definitely be there. At least I hope.
 
The Uruguians certainly seem to have a good bit of pace about them, though their weakness is their width, they seem to force themselves one side and leave them open for the other, but the Dutch are playing into the parts they crowd themselves in.
