Quarter-finals: Netherlands vs Argentina on 9th December

[kancutlawns]

Bit torn on this. Red Hot Dutch against the Argies.

[ccreds]

Is it Holland or Netherlands?

[kancutlawns]

Netherlands. I remember dear old Bas explain it a long time ago that Holland was contextually wrong because it referred to only one region in the country or something. Can’t be bothered to look it up.

Correct.
But the Dutch fans still chant "Hup Holland!" etc so it's also used as a term for the country.

Dutch are piss.

When are Michael Van Gerwen and Barneveld coming on?

Getting bored of the Argentina coverage.

If Messi went for a shit we’d get ten minutes of how magnificently he wiped his arse

Doing my head in. Even the referee has got in on the act by not giving him a yellow for a blatant handball.

[antdad]

The Argies are going down like the Belgrano.

[carcinogen]

Bastards have just fucked-up my score prediction. Orange CUNTS.

[kancutlawns]

Oh shit. Absolute genius. 2-2

Yeah I thought Pearce on BBC was going a bit OTT myself ... I thought I had missed something.

[subsub]

Brilliant free kick!

[carcinogen]

Gotta support the Dutch, these Argies are reverting to type, fucking animals. The heel of their European masters needs to be put down again. Both Brazil and Argentina going out on the same day would be MAGNIFICENT.

Genius free kick. The Dutch total football was lumping it up to the big man.
