What a motherfucking header.

Insta-highlight for years to come.

Also, I'm presently listening to a German crowd cheering the Netherlands on.

Sure, I'm half an hour from the border (On foot), but still. People must be seriously sick of the Spanish dominance.

That has to be one of, if not the best goal we will see in this World Cup.

Absolutely brilliant.

Too bad (many) Dutchies won't cheer for our eastern neighbours.

You're third on my list. After Belgium, because those guys haven't gotten a chance in quite a while :p

Eh, I've been hating them since the 2010 finals, even before they actually won them.

At least there was an equaliser and I get the feeling that there would've been more goals like that were it not for the pesky offside rule.

Stop making shit up, though. Links, or it's a God-damn lie and you know it.

People have also probably had enough of seeing their boring playing style.

That I doubt.

We're having a shoddy defense at the moment.

I'm reviewing the incident that caused the penalty.

Damn, what a terrible decision by the ref.

That header was beautiful. Also, I just saw the most hilarious advert ever. It was a FIFA propaganda piece, saying "Together, we fight match manipulation", painting FIFA as the heroic defender against corruption. :rofl:
