Doesn't apply to the match we're talking about though, just your content from out your ass.

Back on topic, Zapatero claimed he would like to save the octo-Paul from the Germans' "rage"...  :nervous:


Wait, we not get to eat it after the championship?

Even 10% of possession may lead to victory as long as it enables a given team to score 1 or more goals.

On theoretical grounds, yes. In practice.. well.. can you mention a specific match?

I've seen teams with a possession percentage of 65 losing.

Let me guess... FC Barcelona?  :p

Indeed, Forlan's been the best spot kick taker, I honestly expected that ball to be in the net, really nice game overall, with a big ending.

The Uruguayan goalkeeper wasn't up to the task, though.

You're throwing yet another statistics thing, just like QuantumDelta did before you.

No I'm not. I'm throwing fundemental nature of the game.

And even if I was, that wouldn't make me wrong in and of itself.

Lots of yellow cards and pauses during the final.

It's an exciting match because we know what's at stake.

I wonder if it's Spain that won the match or it is the Netherlands that lost it.

Both, I'd say. Also, Netherlands were lucky not to be down to 8 players by half time, and lucky not to be down to 6 not too long after that. Damn that was one dirty game.

True.

The referee made a weird mistake at the end, though... and that helped Spain. That was a corner kick.

exciting match, but terrible football.  i'm not sure either team really deserved to win.  there was dirty play on both sides, but spain got away with/sold a LOT more.  the ref was WAY too easy giving out cards i thought.  but then he didn't red for the dropkick.  go figure.

You can't pretend the same treatment in all environments. That was the last match, afterall. There's nothing to be surprised of: depending on the situation, referees give out less (or more) cards than they should. I don't agree with that reasoning as much as you do, but referees simply can't compromise "the show".

As I said, however, the missed corner kick is another matter.

Dirty game never wins. And today that was proven by Spain. We played very clean during all the championship from the first match to the final match. See the Germany-Spain match for example... That match was a good one, both sides were very friendly and honorable with each other.

Spain never entered a final round. This is their first final match and their first world victory.

You say that Spain played dirty? Oh please :doubt:. Watch the match again and count the faults. We made very little dirty play, and they started with it first :p.  Netherlands made a lot of faults without the deserved cards (they deserved at least two reds), and worse, they replied to the arbiter everytime like if we were the faulters and not them while our players were on the floor crying.

The arbiters made it difficult for us in every match, except today. I think we deserved this long waited victory.  :(

Working on the Freespace 2 spanish translation. In case you want to play the game in castillian, click here. You'll need some spanish there, though, sorry :p

If you want your mod/campaign translated to spanish, please PM me or send me an e-mail message.

I could translate from spanish to english too, if you want, but it wouldn't be perfect, not at all. For spanish->english translations comes better an english native with spanish knowledge.

I still don't like spain, football fairies (fall over way too easy most of them, Fabregas is about the only one with any real fight in him, Xavi Alonso is especially panzy assed), but I dislike what the dutch brought to the final this year even more.
Where's the old dutchies gone? Gimme my total football back.
But yea, the spanish can be really crafty/dirty in their own right.
