Dunno, I'm a bit of a fan of the Dutch and the way they play the game, but I've got a feeling that Costa Rica might just snatch this.

My Superbru picks this weekend have been nothing short of a disaster. So scared I have jinxed the Dutch by picking them to win this game.

If they've all been wrong, you're bound to hit the mark at some point :D

Hup!

Agreed.

Go Netherlands go! Go Costa Rica go!!!

/plants arse firmly back on fence
no no no....not so easy Imran. I'll help you.
If CR wins we'll have 1 European team and 3 teams from the Americas in the semis

Like this

European vs South America
Central America vs South America


If Netherlands win...we have a two two split.

European vs South America
European vs South America

So?

Lol! Negative towards who? I'm not from either country so why would the outcome concern me?

Oh sorry....was going on your Dutch fanboy status :p

How come professional footballers get offside so easily.....or is it just a question of parallax error?

This red blind? Damn defender is holding the attacker right in front of him. Weak.

It's a combination of things. Sure attackers often misjudge the pass and the line, but at the same time defenders are coached in moving as a unit and actively try and read the situation leaving the attacker in an offside position when the ball is played.

Been a good game so far. Dutch and Costa Rica both had chances. Dutch looking the better of the two so far.
