Sorry Z, just having fun. No arrogance from me, I personally think Holland produced the best team work at this WC. Just a bit irritated at that twit's constant whining. Onwards to better things, what do you think of Sunday's match-up?

Well, I agree: Kluivert's finishing WAS pathetic, but that does NOT change the fact that the refereeing was atrocious, as it has been throughout this World Cup - and others, also. I'd say institute instant replay, but that would ruin the flow of the game. The only solution in my opinion is a better group of administrators at FIFA, so that inexperienced referees are not chosen to work high-stakes events such as the World Cup, the European Championship and the Copa America. It is absurd to have referees interfering in the game to this extent. As I said before, I loathe penalty shoot-outs - luck is THE determining factor. Taffarel guessed right, and Van der Saar did not, that is all. Ronaldo was not fouled. I suggest you review the tape. I am not just simply upset at the loss; I am appalled at the manner in which it came about. This makes two Cup matches against Brazil with two pro-Brazil referees. It is just the limit. I am confident Holland will win the Cup soon, in spite of these ridiculous officials, but nevertheless I am disgusted with the way the game is brought down by this kind of incompetence - if that is all that it is. As for our friend Mr. Woo, get a life. Are you ten years old? Or are you just an immature brat with nothing better to do than spend time calling people names? If you had anything intelligent to say, perhaps you would have had some kind of decent rebuttal to my arguments. As you did not, but rather resorted to sophomoric epithets, I think it is pretty clear what an incredible imbecile you are. If you trade anything like you write, don't worry, filing for bankruptcy is a simple matter these days. p.s.: Holland do not care about third place. The idea of a third place game is just stupid. Why not a game for fifth and sixth, seventh and eighth, etc? The Dutch came to win this championship and I don't think they very much care about the upcoming game. Nevertheless, I am sure they'll blow out Croatia to make a point.
