Wow, what a dumbass call by the ref. He did the right thing by reversing it but he looked pretty stupid in the process.

On to extra time. :biggrin:

All credit goes to Russia today. The Netherlands never really showed up to play, they are the better team but were outplayed. The Russian back four was stupendous and never let the Dutch penetrate, and the Orange just didn't capitalize on all the chances they had. I was hoping to see pk's but the Russians would have nothing of that. Two late goals in the second extra time sealed the deal. Now we wait for tomorrow to see who takes on the Russians.

3-1 Russia over the Dutch.

Spain vs. Italy today. Should be a very interesting match. David Villa has played stellar during the tourney, and look for him to show up big today. Both teams have some top notch players from some of the major club teams around the world. It should be close throughout the match with both teams having chances. I'm not going to make a prediction because I think all but 1 team that I have chosen to win, has lost. lol


Ahh screw it...

Spain - 2
Italy - 1

Please tell me the Dutch were just drunk!

BASEL (Reuters) - Switzerland's national railway has told its workers to stop using their normal orange reflective vests after confused Dutch soccer fans started following them on to the tracks.
A railway spokesman said the changed strip had been prompted by an incident in the Swiss capital Berne when a group of Netherlands supporters followed a worker on to the lines after mistaking his uniform for their traditional orange dress.
"We have now given out yellow vests to all our staff who have to work on or cross the tracks in Basel, where the Dutch fans are now based," Oliver Tamas said Friday.
"It has raised a few eyebrows but we think it's a necessary measure to ensure the safety of our guests."
Tamas said that 1,500 railway staff involved in fan coordination work had already been given yellow vests to help them stand out from the Dutch supporters.
Police in Berne also ditched their orange vests after Netherlands were drawn to play all three of their group stage matches in the city.
A Basel police spokesman said Friday that the yellow vests used by Berne police had now been sent to Basel in time for Saturday's quarter-final between Netherlands and Russia.
