He broke a bone in his back didn't he? I can't see him recovering from that for tonight.

fractured vetebrae.... yes no chance he will play

Milk of the poppy - he'll be reet.

 

 

Good old magic sponge!

I don't really care who wins, as long as it isn't Germany.........I think if they win then when we look back on the 2014 World Cup in 20-30 years time it will be remembered for a very controlled, sterile and solid Germany win, rather than the following-

 

Netherlands winning their first ever World Cup, destroying the current holders 5-1 in their first game, crazy penalty shoot-out keepers, and Villa having a World Cup winning captain in their ranks.

OR

Argentina winning the World Cup on their arch-enemies soil, with Lionel Messi proving once and for all he is the greatest player of all time (in my opinion) by dragging a weak Argentine team through the competition.

OR

Brazil winning their own World Cup, after losing their star man with a broken back in the quarter final, and battling through despite fielding arguably their weakest team in World Cup history

 

It might just be me, but I like a bit of 'romance' with my World Cup and it has definitely delivered so far, and any of the above happening will add to it. Germany winning it would take a lot of the romance out of the whole tournament,and make it less memorable as time goes on.

If we get a goal as good as this in the Netherlands vs Argentina game I will be all :wub:

 

 

 

I'm hoping for a Netherlands vs Germany final.    Don't like Brazil much this year, they are dirty bastards who have profited from some very generous refereeing decisions and I don't want to see them kick their way to the trophy.   The other semi requires less explanation.  Concrete Ron in a World Cup final? YES PLEASE.

Van Persie now a doubt for tomorrow. Him and Ron.

RVP has been almost a fringe player for them since their first game, so it's not like a massive void all of a sudden. Everything they do goes through Robben, without him, they'd have serious problems against Argentina.

I want the Argentina scenario so we can tell kids, grandkids we watched the best player EVER lift the World Cup.

Roa has the misfortune of being the goalkeeper who let in probably the two most memorable goals of the '98 World Cup
