How can Muller have the Golden Boot when he is tied with a couple of others with 5 goals?

Tiebreaker is assists. As for everyone whining about diving, there haven't been many dives in this game thus far (two at most). All of the cards have been legit except for probably the one on Sergio Ramos. There has been plenty of diving in this WC, but these two teams are not the main culprits and certainly haven't been flopping in this game. Perhaps you're talking about the players staying down after getting kicked by someone who can squat 800 pounds, but that could be because they're actually in pain.

God I love Ramos. That dude is just awesome. :awe:

Yikes, getting ugly out there. That was a dick move on the kickout by the Dutch.

lol 2 flops within 1 min in the final. They should be ashamed.

Which flops? The one where the guy landed full weight on the other guys leg, or the one where he was blatantly dragged down by his arm? :hmm:

KT

 

[KeithTalent]

Hmm, Navas the sub and not Torres. :hmm:

KT

 

[KeithTalent]

Holy shit! Fuck you Robben, yay Casillas! :awe: Beautiful ball through though. Wow.

KT

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

Casillas player of the game. That was CLUTCH!

I thought the foul on David Villa (I think it was him) looked pretty weak, and he only got the call after rolling around on the ground for a minute. And then the dutch player was barely touched.

There have been a few flops, but there have been a lot of very rough challenges out there.

So what is that 9 yellow cards now?

No doubt about that. I still can't believe the kick to the chest wasn't a red card in the first half.

It is at least 8 by now, maybe 9. Have the Dutch played this physical throughout the tournament?

 

[KeithTalent]

OMFG how did Villa not score! Great stuff by Navas.

KT

 

[Dominato3r]

WOW. So close!

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

What an opportunity!! Extremely lucky by the Dutch that didn't go in.

Well they have over 20 yellows as opposed to Spain's now 6 I think. So I guess the answer is yes.

same can be said for spain against robben's break.

 

[Dominato3r]

What an amazing opportunity to score.

 

[Miramonti]

Both have had excellent opportunities but overall I think they are both playing outstanding defense.

 

[KeithTalent]

Oh shit, Ramos!!!

KT

 

[KeithTalent]

Both have had excellent opportunities but overall I think they are both playing outstanding defense.

Dutch have been great in the back and Spain has been great in the middle. Neither very good up front.

[Dominato3r]

Its going to be heartbreaking to see either team score now.

Totally. So tense now.

KT

 

[TheWart]

Its going to be heartbreaking to see either team score now.

I think it would be worse for the winner of a 0-0 game to be decided by PK's

 

[KeithTalent]

Wow, some great play there. Really good moves.
