The Offical World Cup Thread

I hate Holland. They are the most violent, nasty and unfair playing lot in the world

I remember a game in the WC 1998 - Nederlands vs Yugoslavia - when Bergkamp stepped 'accidentaly' on the head of one of the Yugo's who was on the ground. Since that time I HATE the nasty way they play. No respect for teams trying to turn football into a bloodbath. Good for Portugal, that might teach that bunch a lesson.

Btw - why are Holland 'all whites' out of a sudden? And I don't mean their kits - but in previous WCs since the times of Van Basten+Hullit+Rijkard there was always a big part of the team that had West Indian or African origins (Davids, Seedorf, Raiziger, Kluivert for instance) - now it looks as if the side's policy was to play with only white players. If that's true, if that's no coincidence, and if it has anything to do with the racist atmosphere in the country - it's even more pathetic.

The ref was Ivanov - Russian. "Ivanov the Terrible" to me after this game...

 

Mate thats bullshit, Portugal gave as good as they got.. Both teams dived a lot, cheating c*nts. Aswell as that they both fouled as often, just think of Figo's headbutt, was that not noted? They were both as bad as each other and the ref was even worse. And this theory you have on racism in the NT.... Dont make me laugh.

 

It's not a theory - it's a hypothesis, I was ASKING, though one could expect You wouldn't get down to see that in my posts after our last row...
And it's not that funny if You keep in mind what the Spanish coach Aragones says and does, and if you know what happened in the Dutch NT some time ago - when the team had devided into two groups - the white players and the not-white-enough players. I know it's a long way accross the Channel, but I believe You read the papers.

and 3 other times when the Dutch did the same and also - no cards.

Portugal played harsh ball I would not expect from this team - turning violent at times. Both sides were cheating - but that's their style, anyone who watches Robben play for Chalsea knows what a cheting * that one is.

But the outrageous attmpt to eliminate the opositions key player - the studs-first attack at C.Ronaldo was disgusting.
I s'pose You BTG with your strange attraction towards England would find it normal. It was a similar 'tackle' (airstrike?) as the one that * * Roy MacFarland used and broke the career of the best Polish striker Lubanski when our NT played England. Fortunately it didn't help England as it didn't help Holland last night.

 

Firstly I can obviously see you havent been on here for long, as if you knew anything at all about the forum you would know I despise England and English people.. Being a Welshman it kind of comes naturally..

Secondly this is a totally different thread, holding grudges and bringing up old arguments into new threads is not tolerated, many have been banned before for it. So id suggest you leave the other thread where it is (locked) and get back to talking football instead of your petty little grudges.

Cheers
