SI Staff Jeroen Thijssen Posted July 7, 2014 SI Staff Share Posted July 7, 2014 Let's start this thread off on a lighter note. As you may be aware, recently Queen Beatrix has been succeeded by now King Willem-Alexander Our King is married to Queen Maxima of Argentina. This epic battle will surely mean some battles between the two! The 2nd one reads: "I ken not eat like dat, no Willie?" "That's what's I'm saying... you're nothing without Messi!" Mes = Knife in Dutch. Messie is a diminutive form of knife. (little knife) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariano Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Some newspapers say that all the Dutch shirts have been sold in Sao Paulo, the same as belgium and switzerland. I went to Argentina Belgium match in Brasilia and there were a lot of people with Belgium Shirts, it was a bit strange, when i tried to talk to them, they answered in portuguese. I did not know that the first language in Belgium was the portuguese. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD nawrat Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Nigel de Jong returns! \o/ He'll shut Messi out of the game, 1-0 Holland, Robben goalscorer I dislike Argentina and the Netherlands but I'll back the Netherlands for three reasons - 1. They're European; 2. Germany/Holland will be great/better than Germany/Argentina; 3. I'm not sure I could put up with the verbal blowjobs of "MESSI'S TIME MESSI'S TIME TRULY DA GREATEST EVER WE LUV U LIONEL!" because **** that. Argentina are dreadful (bit exaggerated but they're not better than Brazil really so here's hoping for another 7-1 tonight). Didn't even look close to scoring against Belgium, despite actually getting a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crouchaldinho Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Normally I would cheer on the Dutch but they're a horrible team these days. Between Robben's diving, Krul's gamesmanship in the penalty shootout last round, and the general dirtiness and cheating, I just cannot bring myself to cheer for them. Come on Argentina!
