I hope Holland win the World Cup

[Queen Seok Duk]

Holland is a team that has always underperformed in World Cup Finals. I hope they win the World Cup in South Africa. They play attacking football and have so many flamboyant players.

I rate Holland the most talented team in any World Cup. Rooney and Co can go fuck spider !

Holland can't win WC because any team who play Dirk Kuyt in the starting eleven with Ryan Babel coming on as a supersub is not going to win anything.

I as a Liverpool fan have seen enough of those two impotentness over the years.

Betting on Holland to win the World Cup is like buying Minibonds from Lehman Brothers for retirement savings for those who remember 1974. 弹你去荷兰。

What happened in 1974 ? Cruyff turned Durai ?

 

[SneeringTree]

I hope so too. I have put in $100 for a Holland win.

Great minds think alike.

What happened in 1974 ? Cruyff turned Durai ?

Yeah, very good Holland. Won all 6 games all the way to the Final, including 2:0 over Brazil and 4:0 over Argentina. The whole world betted on Holland with their bank balances, pensions and mortgages.

Final versus West Germany. Johan Cryuff 1st minute dribble past entire German team better than Diego Maradona against England team in 1986. But unlike Maradona, he was tripped in the box and got a penalty instead of finishing off directly. The penalty was scored by John Neeskens if I recall correctly. 1:0 Holland leading. 1st minute.

Then the unthinkable happened. The Total Football of Holland became monkey-catch-the-ball training. They passed the ball among themselves just waiting for the Germans to come get it. Of course the Germans would go get it. One ended in penalty, Paul Breitner converted, and one ended in a mess around the penalty box where Gerd Muller (who else?) stuck his foot out and aimed the ball into the net.

Second half, Germany leading 2:1. More unthinkable happened. Holland played as if they were leading 2:1. When leading and not threatened, Germany simply played out the time and collect the World Cup. Johan Cryuff gave all sorts of excuses, terrorist threatening kidnapping, Argentina military government, so as not to play in World Cup 1978.

In the 1974 WC, they have to face W Germany in the final. With Sepp Maier in goal and Gerd Muller (nicknamed Bomber) as the chief striker, how not to lose to the Germans?

You forgot about Der Kaiser Beckenbauer.
IIRC, this was the first ever colour TV broadcast in Singapore - went over to my uncle's place to watch it

Having seen the video, I hope that my narrative wasn't far off.

Gerd Muller didn't just stick his foot out. He made an enormous effort to turn and shoot.

John is Johann, so okay.

A- for your narration.:oIo:

OK, fair enough. My narration for Gerd Muller not good enough, your version more more accurate. Yes, the turn was a world class turn. Oh, Neeskens, sorry for the typo. I missed the "a". Anyway, A- I'm happy. No need :oIo: .

Consider your $100 as donated to charity. The modern game now is controlled by the betting syndicates. The last World Cup was an excellent example of Argentina throwing away the game to SAVE the family of their manager.

You wanna make some money on this World Cup....... better develop some guanxi with your bookie. :p
