Why not horns?

Macrojack, LOL! I don't like the sound of live vuvuzelas.
Thanks for the well wishes for the Dutch. Two players are being with held for cards for the next match, but the Dutch are deep enough for it not to be too much of a concern. I would consider them more of a technically proficient team than a physical one.
HUP HOLLAND!

Of course you don't like vuvuzelas - they're horns, after all!

I'd be worried about Uruguay if I were you. They've won two more World Cups than the Dutch. They even won one in Brazil. Plus everything is upside down. Both Germany and Spain were upstaged in the Group stage and Spain was eliminated in one of the biggest upsets in history. Seems plain enough that the tables can turn at any moment.

Admittedly there is no excuse for Ghana losing to Uruguay but it would be unseemly now for the Apartheid people to walk away with a trophy in South Africa. Uruguay is down two starters as well, including their best scorer, Mr. Handball.

If Germany is as strong as they look, I'm betting that they will take the trophy home in a rain of vuvuzela cacaphonic orgasm.

Spain will prevail, if they play how they are capable, as I think they will.

The Dutch should have to much in their arsenal for Uruguay, although the Dutch have always been a bit suspect in the knock out stages of the World Cup, they need another Cruyff!
Spain can and do play beautiful football (if they show up that is) with their marvelous array of talent, but have been under performing, especially Torres who has been truly woeful. The Germans are playing like a team on a mission with verve and passion, I mean how many teams could stop Argentina from having a sniff of the ball, never mind score a goal?. So, its Germany for me to beat Holland in final.
I hope FIFA pick Mr Howard Webb as the referee, a no nonsence kind of chap who is a top notch referee for the final.

Back to horns +=+=+
