I picked the Neds for the upset win. They have a better than 50% chance of pulling it off.

fivethirtyeight.com has Spain to win at 54%. So we're essentially even, should be a good game 
I can't wait to see their analysis afterward to see if they used the numbers the way they should have. It's their first WC analysis.

Interesting - I thought this was one of the more boring World Cups I've seen. Too many fouls for this level of play.
I really didn't care much who won, but ended up cheering (somewhat) for the Netherlands when I heard about the fans who have been road tripping since April to get there! That said, it was classy for the man playing for Espana to have a commentary on a teammate (?) who died on his undershirt.
Four more years to wait!

Hey it takes a lot of talent to grab your crotch and stand around in a field!

Yes but it's an exhibition, not a sport!

BTW, am I the only person to see a lot of similarities to hockey game play wise? Minus the checking of course.
