Careful guys. Lets not impose the past onto today's generation. I've edited both of your posts to remove the reference.

Back on topic, were Italy that bad this year? I didn't have chance to watch any of their matches as I was also watching Wimbledon.

Apologies Harrison.

Italy were terrible. Really really awful. Too negative and a total lack of cohesion and team spirit. Quite similar to France in a lot of ways. They only came to life near the end of the Slovakia game but it was too late for them.

So Holland is through to the Quarter Finals. They'll most likely meet Brazil on Friday. I don't think they'll win against Brazil, but then again, it's football ... anything can happen.

The Dutch have a decent team, but they only have one remarkable player (Robben), and their defense is and has always been poo.

My guess for the winners for this year is Argentina.

The less we mention of Englands last game the better.. so ashamed.. These players are meant to be some of the best in the world, playing at the top of their game in the English Premier League, but in the World cup, and their final game of this one especially, they looked like a joke team from some unknown place entering for the first time! It was pitiful!

All I have to say is... Well done Hamilton and Button, and COME ON MURRAY!!!

Now you can see why I follow Tennis and F1!

That's not true at all, Robben may be a good player, but not the best in the dutch team. They have a lot of good players, and maybe Robben is the best when he plays in Munich, but by far not in the dutch team. Robben only does on trick over and over again, too bad that some of the defensive players still didn't notice that, or still are not able to stop him from doing it.

So who do you all think is going to win the World Cup now? Brazil look good to me!

Holland is now in the final after beating Uruguay. Today we'll find out whether they'll meet Spain or Germany. My bets are on Spain.

It is a little bit of a shame that it has ended up being an all European final though. Would have been nice to see some south American teams there.

humm.... i wonder if is not Germany... 2 games scoring 4 goals...
Spain has a lot of good players but not a team... like Portugal, many great players but it did not work lpaying together....

Germany has a great team they work very well as a "one".
Lets see...
