nothing new, by that i mean big screens replaying some scenes in the game.

Simorgh jan, the first goal wasnt offside OFFICIALY.

Some ridiculous new rule i just heard of. When sneijder shot the bal on goal Panuci was standing outside the lines. So it doesnt count as offisde.

Having looked at the rule book, I'm still unsure whether it was an offside or not. From the regulations book

When an offside offence occurs, the referee awards an indirect free kick to be taken from the position of the offending player when the
ball was last played to him by one of his team mates.

I dont think Panuci deliberately stepped out of the game, tho I have to rewatch that part again to make sure.

damn..i never really liked holland cos they always choked but this team played MAGNIFICENT!! RESPECTTTTT TO VAN BASTEN AND HIS TEAM!!

90 minutes endless running, wat fluid transition from offense to defense and vice versa, wat perfect passes and crosses, wat ball control by the players, how brilliant holland attacked and defended as a "team"! everything was perfectly executed! wat GK by van der sar!! 10/10 to holland!

and who was that kid, elfay or alfay or watever?? damn he was good!! never heard of him before!! uli hoeness and the kaiser should get him for the right side of bayern and complement ribery on the other side!

(now that i mentioned ribery and having watching toni today, the 2 best bayern players this season were poor in their first game today! instead, the german lads made us proud yesterday! )

ofcourse italy was unlucky not to score and had toni scored, the game could have changed completely! the 3-0 margin wasnt fair, but atleast this can be an early wake up call for italy who has high hopes for this cup as well!!

well done holland, if they continue playing like this, i think germany holland will be the best final...so far atleast..

i have not liked the dutch since 1990 when my boy voeller got spit in face

that video reminds me of the old germany jersey i used to have!!

and ofcourse, seeing the KAISER himself coaching germany to victory of the worldcup finals on the turf of their arch rivals italy is just...

[persiangodfather]

italy did not dive once today or in the longest time has an italian dived. ronaldo and malouda are the best 2 for diving. why do ppl get so happy when italy looses? how do we play defensivley? maybe before but now our defence is shitty r u kidding me lol
