No US fan should watch that and cheer for the Dutch. But if you must out of some obscure loyalty, you should hope for City to be relegated out of pure principle.

*CHANT* Anybody, anybody, anybody but the Dutch!*

I agree, root for Espana

**** Spain too, for all of their Barcelona BS. I hope Xavi takes his DNA and chokes on it. They can take their bankrupt club and go **** themselves. But the lesser of two evils thing...

What BS? (I really don't pay attention to club soccer)

A lot of us here are big Arsenal fans (an English Premier League club). Barcelona's big target right now is Fabregas, Arsenal's best player who they signed from Barcelona's youth ranks because he didn't think he'd get a chance with them. They've been trying, quite illegally, to tap him up by having players and their managers come out and say how much Cesc wants to come play for Barca in an attempt to get Arsenal to sell for lower than what he's worth. It's backfired badly, and Arsenal came out and said **** off. But they haven't backed off.

But through the entire WC we've put up with players saying how much they want Cesc and how much Cesc wants to be there.

Arsenal typically lets players go if they request a transfer, but Cesc is young and has five years left on his contract, so he's not leaving on a free. And we've put up quite a fight. So, a lot of Arsenal fans have a '**** you' attitude to Barca right now, based on their unprofessionalism. And for me, being a petty asshole, that's carried over to the WC.

The club is in debt. But, at least their jerseys (advertisement) aren't for sale as of now.

Heh, I wonder what Barca's side of things is.

Eh, **** them. They don't get a side. The player is under contract, and they have to deal with the club unless they really want to ruin all future relations with Arsenal which they just won't do.

There is so much complexity that goes into international soccer, but Barcelona is basically broke. And they really want Fabregas. And they know they can't afford him, so they're trying to make it out like Arsenal won't release a player home where he wants to go. But it's all BS. He's worth 60 million euros, and they won't pay, so they're being little bitches, so:

**** BARCA!

And that's all you need to know...

I hate both teams in the final, but Spain more.

Pants · 07-08-2010, 08:46 AM

OMFG OMFG OMFG

The Netherlands NEEEEEEEEEEEEED this. Both of these teams are cursed when it comes to the WC, but it is seriously time for the Oranje to get that black star on top of the pentagon. I don't get all the Netherlands hate, but whatever, haters gon hate.

Spain is the better team as far as overall talent goes so the Dutch will have to work extra hard. There can't be any stupid ****ing selfishness from Robben, Van der Vaart or Sneijder in this. PLAY LIKE A ****ING TEAM.

P.S. Pedro needs to executed by a firing squad for denying Fernando his 1st goal of the tournament yesterday. ****ing tool.

I just want to see what happens with those porn stars that offered BJs to all their twitter followers if Netherlands won it all.
