The better team won, and yes, I predicted Holland would make the final before the cup began, go back a few threads. I play the game, been a fan of the game and know the game better than most englishmen, DO NOT get into a pissing match with me bud.

Like I said, Melo should never play again. He's worth **** if he's not playing. He was selfish. Your worth nothing on the bench.

Don’t ******* talk to me about playing this game when I was raised with Portuguese and Brazilian blood in me and played before I can remember. I have also gone youth-national in 4 different sports. (near 30 now and just play rec) So, I know thing or two. I am the one trying to embrace tech to be brought into the game when my whole family/friends think in that antiquated state of mind, with the belief of drama/theatrics being ruined if introduced. I tell you right now, the more other sports grow in popularity around the world the less Soccer will be taken seriously if they don’t start enforcing the rules a bit more. There would still be plenty of drama and theatrics.

You’re just riding your high horse right now, but there were plenty of calls given to Holland that were uncalled for...It’s demoralizing and hurts the performance of the team. Same can be said for the goal robbed from England. They would have played a lot harder being down 1 goal compared to 2.
