So why doesn't the Netherlands change the flag to just be a big orange square? The tri-color seems pointless.

Well, a long time ago, the flag used to be horizontal orange-white-blue, which is still reflected in the flag of New York City. But somehow over the years it changed to red-white-blue.

But yeah, an orange flag would better represent the Netherlands. Also because red-white-blue is kinda common.

Back OT, I'll be rooting for Spain tonight, but I think Germany will be the winner. Either way, I'm looking forward to tonight (and even more to Sunday)

I already fear so. Albeit against Spain he was wrong two years ago, apart from that always right.

EDIT: What is this s**t? Why are they so....scared?

EDIT 2: Spain is clearly better so far.

EDIT 3: Ok, Germany apparently woke up, but haven't had any coffee yet.

Damn, Spain is good...

They play as if they had a man more on the field.

Germany needs a goal. Desperately.

EDIT:

1st half over, 0:0

So far Spain is clearly the better team, but at least the German team actually started to play after the 1st 20 minutes of total Spanish domination.

Germany needs to change something. Otherwise one of those Spanish attacks will succeed. The German defence so far is very good, but against a team like Spain we cannot afford to let them run continuous attacks for 90 minutes.

Ok...that was no penalty against Spain. Correct decision.

EDIT: if you believe Vuvuzelas are annoying via TV, listen to them in your neighbourhood and you might reconsider...

Good decision to replace Trochowski with Kroos. And Germany is very lucky so far.

Agreed. I just switched off. Too p***** off. Very disappointing!

EDIT: Just switched on again...shouldn't have done it, as the German Gomez came as substitute *sigh*

And I forgot my mannners. Congratulations to Spain, a deserved victory. And best wishes against Holland too. Albeit I will root for Holland now nonetheless, as I said some posts before.

Spain 1: Germany 0

A deserved win for Spain, they clearly played the better football. Actually, they were dominating the game.

Germany managed to put pressure on the Spanish team for maybe 10-15 minutes, out of 90. That's simply NOT enough against such an excellent team as Spain. In this game Germany completely failed to consistently push their attacks through. And if you simply let Spain do their thing for 70-80 minutes they WILL score.

frown

I will now root for Spain in the finals.

cheers
