Bloody Zuzu.....

[Traxster]

Don't know about anybody else,but I'm getting heartily sick of the 'World Cup'.

Welll not so much the game itself,more those BLOODY zuzu....whatever the hel_l they are.

I have resorted to watching the games with the sound turned off !!!

Some how it's just not the same...............

[goldfinger]

come on, only 2 more games.....

[sevenhills]

Go Holland Go

[sceadugenga]

ORANJE ORANJE ORANJE!!!!!

[bifftastic]

yep i agree bloody vuvuzela thingumybobs are a right pain in the arse, hope the final has more crowd noise than plastic trumpets sounding like a swarm of bees!

I'm also reasonably hopeful that the final will be a decent game. I reckon the 1st half will be kinda cagey, like a lot of games have been, but will liven up in the 2nd half.

Come on the Dutch, I'd love Holland to win.

[dindong]

viva la'espana.

Read the other day that one of the middle eastern countries...think UAE have issued a FATWA aginst the bliddy things.......agree....

so if you get caught blowing one you will get your ...wotever cut off...or mabey just get stoned..

[svenivan]

If it was not for this Dutch guy Robben I would go for Holland but he is too much. He is looking to get an Oscar for best actor falling in the penalty area without anyone has touched him!

So I go for SPAIN!

viva la'espana.

[mcgriffith]

Really interesting to see who wins.

My heart votes for the Dutch team; I always vote for the underdog.

Spain is simply brilliant, playing the best kind of strategic and tactical football...

May the best team win!

Spain....

Thats wot Paul recons ....

The news will come as a boost to Spain ahead of the World Cup final against Holland at Soccer City Stadium, Johannesburg on Sunday.

The psychic octopus has not made a mistake when predicting the outcome of a football match for two years.

On that occassion Paul said Germany would beat Spain in the Euro 2008 final but Luis Aragones' team came out on top, winning 1-0.

Paul the psychic octopus: bookmakers take bets on final predictions

Paul the psychic octopus is England's World Cup success At this World Cup Paul has predicted all of Germany's results correctly even including the defeats against Serbia in the group stages and Spain in the semi-finals.

Since correctly predicting Spain's victory over Joachim Löw's team Paul has been on the recieving end of a backlash from Germany fans.

However the octoped has got in support in the unlikely form of Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luiz Rodriguez Zapatero who has joked he will provide Paul with a team of boduguards.

Zapatero said: "I am concerned for the octopus.

I am thinking of sending him a protective team."

Spanish environment and fisheries minister Elena Espinosa has also sworn to protect the octopus.

"On Monday, I shall be at the European Council of Ministers and I shall be asking for a [fishing] ban on Paul the octopus so the Germans do not eat him," Espinosa said.

The octopus had already made its prediction for the third and fourth place play-off opting for the mussel in the Germany box.

It took Paul just a couple of minutes to decide its adopted nation will beat Uruguay to take third place in the tournament.

so thats it then...Init....
