WC2010 Quarterfinal - Holland vs. Brazil

Luckily not all woman overhere mind if you express your desire. They probably like it a bit less direct than whistling, or 'pssst'. Lots of men like flirting too.

yeh, we're talking about stereotypes.

and I think whistling is a bit ridiculous, I'd never do that. But I can't imagine a Brazilian girl giving me the finger because of this. She would probably smile, thinking it was funny or ridiculous, but she wouldn't be angry.

of course.

Most women overhere (Holland/Germany) wouldn't give the finger either.

We are the only country who can do that.

???

no one in Brazil think we are already in the semis. the portuguese here seem to think so though.

robinho and kaka are already talking about the semis. kaka said I really have to look out for another card because I want to play the semis...

on the other hand Dunga said "the netherlands are a footballing south american team so puro have to fancy the dutch on fridays because we play european style..."

He means if Brazil qualify for the next round... He also said that Natherlands have an excellent squad and their players have great technique. No one is underestimating you.

Interviewer: "So you will be chasing Maicon?"
Dirk : "and he can chase me too"

this will be a new experience for Maicon. Playing v The Incredible Hulk.

Elano and Melo may not play. Ramirez is suspended.

we would have to deal with Josué, Kleberson or Gilberto. I think Gilberto could be a good option as left midfielder.

A pity that I won't be able to watch this match (it's Friday 16:00 CET, right?). Should be interesting.

I won't be around for the 1/4 finals and semis, should be back for the final though.

Good luck back in your cave....

Interesting stat:

This WC midget only passed 10 times to van Persie. 5 of those passes were in the match v Denmark.

Superkutmarokkan Boulah should save the nation and take midget out during training so we can play VDV as AM.

you really can't/shouldn't whistle in Germany

to show the finger is IDIOTIC though



"flirting" is A LOT MORE subtle in Germany than in Latin countries

in fact, to a "Latin eye" it's probably almost imperceptible

an Italian girl I know told me that despite LOVING her many years in Munich , what she missed most, was that German men (ie strangers on the street....) NEVER established EYE contact with her, let alone started to FLIRT with her

and she really is rather easy on the eye

I have two BLONDE cousins who always holidayed in Italy where they got A LOT OF ATTENTION

initially, they feel flattered

but VERY quickly think it's just a PAIN and want to be left alone

there is also not this body/beauty obsession in Germany that todo mentioned

over here it would just be considered to be a bit superficial

just take a look at Angela Merkel

although, in THAT case , even MANY German women thought she should GET HER ACT TOGETHER

that's it: eye contact.

first thing a brazilian do is eye contact. here, depending on the situation and the place, you don't even need to talk or ask her name to kiss her. northern euros would talk without making eye contact.

agreed

Sneijder is fucking up Oranje more than Huntelaar ever could

Can't believe we're suffering from th same crap as last WC. Remember that match when it was bloody obvious midget didn't want to pass the ball to him. Van Persie playing as wide as he can in acres of space, midget spots him and turns the other way. Happened the entire match.

elano won't play against holland, and is probably out of the WC.

Pity very good player. My fav midfielder of this WC squad.

Dutch tv yesterday thought they saw clues that Mijnheer Bert was gonna play like this against Brazil :

----------Kuyt

Afellay - Midget - Robben


If that's true we might as well do a Peru and surrender

that would be criminal.

the lack of eye contact is REALLY strange in northern Europe

irrespective of how you look, you can feel pretty invisible here compared to southern Europe

Latin Countries seem to be mistly VISUAL

to us it's all about THE WORD

Tautology



Btw it's a pity. Elano is such a great player...

The problem with Holland is

They have to FEW KUYT's! Im pretty sure you would walk to the final with 11 Dirks. Affelay would get assraped by Maicondom. But I like the idea of Holland having Dirk as striker. What a shite that Holland really lacks a quality CF. Cause RVP aint one, he is a feckin playmaker.


--------------Kuytinho--------

Elia---------RVP--------Robben

----von Bommel---Fatty/Affelay--

Say's I.

So...., This would be the line up?

Gregorinho----Johninho--Jorisinho--Gio

--------Markinho-Nigelinho

Arjinho-------midgetinho----Ibrahinho

---------------Dirkinho

RVP (aged 15/16) in Feyenoord U18

Game on!

Cruyff: Brazil are a disgrace!


PORT ELIZABETH - Johan Cruijff heeft in de Engelse krant The Mirror hard uitgehaald naar het nationale Braziliaanse voetbalelftal, dat vrijdag in de kwartfinale van het WK de tegenstander is van Oranje.
,,Ik heb geen geld over voor een kaartje om Brazilië te zien spelen'', aldus de 63-jarige oud-international.

Cruijff vindt dat Brazilië veel beter kan. ,,Ze hebben de beschikking over talentvolle spelers, maar ze voetballen op een defensieve en oninteressante manier. Het is een schande voor de fans en het toernooi. Brazilië is namelijk een team dat mensen normaal gesproken graag zien spelen.'' (ANP/DPA/BVDL)

ty.

well, Brazil are not the entertaining samba football circus that europeans love to see losing. so what?

and I think this Holland is the best Holland I've seen in WCs, at least it's the only one I really can see winning the whole thing.

Might be true, but it's also the Holland I would least like to see winning the whole thing...

At previous tournaments I was always really pumped up about watching Holland games : whatever happened, entertainment was guaranteed.

Nowadays it feels like I can just as well get by with only the highlights


....might also have something to do with the distracting weapons of mass destruction that have been sitting beside me on the couch for the past 5-6 weeks

Interesting game between two great teams. I wonder how Holland will play? Brazil unlike Holland have met some very good teams so I think they will have the advantage. There could be tons of goals.

I couldn't agree more with this column : http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2010/jun/29/world-cup-letter-from-netherlands
