Just to say; I deleted 3 of your posts applet, as you just copied them from Wikipedia/FIFA, and also refined the "Stadium Overview" from Wikipedia. We ae not a World Cup Resource, and if people want that, they can visit the Fifa Site or Wikipedia, please don't copy things and take credit for what someone else has written; that's called plagurism. Next time, post a link or quote maybe 2 paragraphs if it's absolutley necessary. Otherwise, keep it to discussion otherwise it will make the Converation Boring Anyway...

Well, yeah it was, they didn't launch the attack I thought they would; lets hope we can thrash Sweden? It was hot out on the Grass, but not as hot as Portugual.
I'm not sure what "masterlijk" is, take a break from Gaming I think Sweden will get beaten again... by England
Chelsea striker Arjen Robben scored the only goal after 18 minutes, sliding the ball under Dragoslav Jevric following a flick-on from Robin van Persie. 1-0 could have been 2-0
