Maybe Susanne deserves her own thread. She's become one of the most named people on this site very quickly. That kind of fame is hard to come by. ><
There's more my friend.

As for the (neutral) spectators: I can imagine that they didn't like the match. It takes something to understand this game and to see what's really happening. The Spanish pressing, the Dutch flashing attacks, the tension, the equilibration between those top players. It's like boxing: if both boxers are very equal to each other it can be dull to watch for outsiders (like me), whereas it is very exciting for the insiders.

OR, they could have just played a more interesting, faster game. That might have helped and then the (neutral) spectator wouldn't have to get a graduate thesis on the inner machinations of the Spanish/Dutch rivalry, in order to enjoy the world cup final.
Never had that problem in previous finals...
Treacle, I just did explain...
Got a quite amusing scenario at my team kleer. I support Man City - yes, I know what everyone thinks about them trying to buy success but I've actualy supported them all my life!. Anyway we have just bought Spanish player David Silva and we also have Nigel De Jong in our team. Hope there's no bad blood.

Max, I think you've learned a lot about football and in an amazingly short period of time. You have 'an eye' for football that not many people have, eventhough they think they are very well 'in' this sport. So you must have indeed some orange blood running through your veins! I'm looking forward to a football match Holland-USA! That would be nice and great!

Thank you for the compliment, but I still have a 1000 questions.
I am waiting until the hoopla to calm down to ask ...... so we will see.
As far as USA vs Holland...I stand by my opinion that this Dutch team is the best.
I will root for my homeland, but until we build an elite team, I dont know.
I have a feeling that the USA teams in the future will do much better.
Something is awakened over here ...s o expect to see more of us : ) I hope.

Susanne will have a hard time, next month in Egmond aan Zee, being so famous! People constantly asking for her autograph, making pics of her in her German bathing suit or orange bikini all the time. The beaches she will visit will be crowded by her admirers.
I really hope her Dutch fans will give her a break once and a while! Being a celebrity ain't easy!
To be blunt, I am somewhat furious at whatever has held back the footballQuote

Max, I really hope the USA will be better and better. Now they're ranked 13, absolutely not bad for a country with such a short football tradition. They played very well during this WC, so hopefully your young fellow countrymen have been insprired by Donovan and his teammates! I'll follow them.

movement in this country. It may be the NFL, NBA and MLB not wanting the
competition or it maybe something else...but the old BS "that football/soccer
is boring" will not cut it anymore. Word is spreading...IT IS TIME !!!!! and
with the sheer number of people in this country to pool from .... it is unaacceptable inexcusable to be ranked 13.
I imagine it will be a tough road ... because the better we do, the less the
world will be happy with us doing well, but it is awakened here, the genie is
out of the bottle. I can explain WHY football is so great ..... to any sports fan.
I HAVE A DREAM...and I will be doing my part to pass it along..... watch out..... we are coming.

ONE of my favorite things about football/soccer is 45 minutes of no commercials,
and I imagine that is exactly why the money mthrfkrs dont like football ...BUT FK THEM!!

let me introduce the pics with this one dedicated to the sicilian, lately posting classic paintings, what about this my friend by Velázquez, The Surrender of Breda which summarize the Victory of Spain last Sunday, Ambrogio Spinola, who conquered the Dutch city of Breda a few years prior. This masterwork depicts a transfer of the key to the city from the Dutch to the Spanish army during the Siege of Breda. It is considered one of the best of Velázquez's paintings.

The Dutch stay frustrated! Fortuantely the Germans are a different breed!
Fortunately the Germans are not all the same (the new Germans, that is).
I really like most of the 'new' Germans. Actually all people are more or less the same. You can't really divide them into artificial nationalities. That's thinking according to the old and dangerous 20th century way. I don't believe in those stereotypes and biases. History has proven how stupid that is. The Germans should know that better than any other people. Most of them luckily do!
The recent German football team represents in my eyes the new Germany that has nothing to do with the horrible Germany of the first half of the 20th century anymore.
