To quote Dick Advocaat: No comment...

Damn, And I thought the Netherlands would take this home.

you lucky bastards..
but a exciting game at all...

Yeah, the germans made one mistake, and paid dearly...I think germany could take this cup.

Hold up Sherman, the one time the Germans actually scored was sheer dumb luck! They didn't meant too shoot at the goal, it just happened to go in. And did you actually see how the Dutch scored? Van Nistelrooy had a German hanging around his neck! That was the real story of that game as I saw it. Every time a Dutch player tried to get the ball near the German goal, there were German hands and feet trying to stop the player instead of the ball...

btw the reason I said "no comment" the first time is that a pro German forum member could take this as a reason to start a debate about who started pushing and pulling. Because of the totally different points of view, I don't think anything good can come from that.

Well, It wasent luck...Germans are good with that kind of shots....They train very hard on that. He dident mean to hit the target, but the course of the ball was planned. Great goal.

The defence rests... :P

Im no fanatic soccer fan, but that was the best performance of the german team since the last worldcup.
during the first halftime oranje had no chance.
And by the way also the dutch players targeted their opponents instead of the ball more than once
but come on...are we playing chess or what?
