Football!

First half of Netherlands - Brazil isn't good for the Netherlands. Brazil leads with 1-0.

And then the Netherlands take the game back quite considerably in the second half, beating Brazil 2-1!

[LocoMH]

Congratulations! Very good game!

Indeed, didn't see that coming. Brazil turned ugly sadly, their red card was a proof of it.

And wtf did Dirk Kuyt think in the 92nd minute... could have been 3-1 .

EDIT: the country is exploding, looks like we already won the cup!

Watch out, Spain's coming your way!

[Hyronymus]

Who's that, Spain?

Let's see who we fight first: Uruguay or Ghana. Then Spain has to beat Germany or Argentine.

Argentina looks fun, then we got royal trouble (Maxima and Willem-Alexander anyone? )

Ah, I guess we can tell by the scratch marks who won in the House of Orange .

[Espee]

Three cheers and congrats to our Dutch brothers in beating Brazil!

We'll drink a Heineneken/Grolsch/Vos and sing "Wilhelmus" in your honor tonight here in California!

[Wile E. Coyote]

Wow! Very good victory for Netherlands! Congratz!

And Uruguay-Ghana wasn't for people with weak hearts!

[Kevo00]

Would be cool if it ended up as an NL-Germany final...just like 1974.

[DeletedUser21]

Fun thing is, I am in Germany watching the finals this summer.
How nice.

[EXTspotter]

Ghana should have won. The ball was unstoppably going into the goal when the cheaty Uruguayan player put his hands to it. I cannot believe that there is no rule saying that in situations like that a goal should be awarded rather than a penalty.

[Badger]

Ha, ze Germans are 1 up already, goal timed at 2m 40 sec!

[LocoMH]

I was terribly afraid of the game - now look at this team!

[Badger]

Goodbye Argentina! Bit scared of the Germans now, they're looking damn good!

[BTA90]

Well, Spain and Paraguay walking to the pitch right now. Almost everybody predicts Spain the winner, but we saw some surprises yesterday. And I'm glad Brazil is out, what a bunch of arrogant bad losers (and of course my country won). I've heard complains of the Netherlands being provocative, but I have seen at least five tackles on Robben's legs, with 0,0% intent of playing the ball. Hopefully Spain will play the samba, and they do it in a fair way, like Germany have earlier.
Congratulations to Germany, from the Netherlands. You deserve the final with your nice 'Dutch-like' playing style!

[Wile E. Coyote]

Great play by Germans! And when I think that we won against them, stays bitter taste in mouth...

Spain somehow won against Paraguay, but they should score earlier. I really don't know why referee repeated penalty... same situation was when Paraguay had penalty.

Netherlands should win, but Uruguay is the biggest surprise. And Spain-Germany should be great match! We have two days to sort impressions.

[Kevo00]

Germany should get rid of Spain easily, if present form is anything to go by. Spain played quite poorly against Paraguay and got a lucky rebound goal in the end. That said, Paraguay are a 'hang on for penalties' side, so better to get shot of them.

Henry, Buffon, Rooney and Messi are at the airport, Messi says: Let's wait for David Villa!

[buckethead]

Kaka already left.
