I'm pretty sure he said "fouled me" not "fight me" and he looked dominated in that exchange.Matthew Leckie for PM.
Or at least ambassador to the low countries.
He had a great World Cup though.

Anyone spot Archie's racist comment about Timmy Cahill on SBS last night? He jokingly said that "Tim's aggressive attitude on the pitch is possibly due to his "island blood".
Hmmmmm.

I'm hoping 4 a brazil v argentina final
Bloody Dutch or more accurately KRUL cost me $180.
Had picked Argies, Brazil, Germany & COSTA RICA to qualify for the Semi finals on a $10 Multi.
Costa Rica were shit & don't deserve to be there but so bloody close.
The dutch backs were beasts. They totally dominated & bullied the Costa Rican forwards. Any time they looked like crossing half way they said not on our watch.
It's so hard to watch Robben. So skillful but so dramatic. It's smart because he makes the ref make the call & the ref knows there was some contact but he makes a real meal of it.

For family reasons I want the Dutch to win this one. But I think they are a bit of a one-trick-pony, eg. feed the ball to Robben and hope a) he scores, or b) he milks a penalty\free kick. Too many lazy players in the Dutch side for my liking. Germany look very dangerous and are showing the usual Teutonic efficiency. Nothing too flashy, just well organised.
My prediction:
1. Germany
2. Netherlands
3. Argentina
4. Brazil

1. Whoever wins out or Germany and Brazil.
2. argies.
3. Dutch.

I don't think Argentina has been that impressive. Messi hasn't set the comp on fire. If he is going to shine it better be in the next game. I can see the Dutch going through.
Germany vs Brazil? I don't know, it should be a very good game.

Germans to win it - too many different ways to win a football match for the others to stop them. The side best suited to stopping them (in football terms) was eliminated in the group stages - Spain. They're the only side that has properly stifled Germany's play, against all others (even Ghana), Germany made more chances and looked more threatening. They're dynamic and aggressive and have lots of different ways to hurt you, whereas all of Brazil, Argentina and Netherlands are a little more limited. Not *bad*, but limited.

I went to have a shower and get changed for work when Germany were leading 1-0. I cam back to the tele and the score was 5-0 . I did a classic double-take just to make sure I was seeing the screen correctly. There's going to be some interesting scenes on the streets of Brazil tonight.
