Something New/Lord of the Rings ( ah yes, Something New....While some of the dialogue is a little preachy, for the most part “Something New” avoids taking sides and instead lets the romantic relationship play itself out in an honest fashion. This is a date movie with a moral but one that doesn’t knock you senseless trying to make the message stick.....doncha think?.... Do you like Twilight too?? )

Thanks Big D! I will post a German translation of this for your chums over the Atlantic!
Huge games tomorrow! Well one really big one.... Brazil or Holland??? The moment of truth for Fribeka and Jodingo!!
ReplyDeleteTime for the Dutch to take center stage...but its looks like Brasil is quietly marching to another cup.
ReplyDeleteTom P... Brasil have been in first or second gear so far... now is the time to see if they can go up another couple! Holland may cause some problems for them...Although i think the Dutch defence is a bit suspect....
ReplyDeleteVery funny/good world cup article.

Happy Birthday Fribeka! and in honor of your birthday...Go Oranje!
ReplyDeleteGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOORRRRRRRRAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNJJJJJJJJEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! What a game! - Any other day I love Brazil, but...... (Robihno should stop crying and just for Melo's stump on Robben, justify red card)....... It is my B'day and Holland prevailed/entertained me and only me/and GGGGGGGOOOOO OOOOOORRRRRAAAAANNNNNJJJJJJJEEEEEE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteORANJE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete(so sorry DVR-ers!!)
Melo had better seek 'political asylum' !!
ReplyDeleteGotta love it!
ReplyDeletehappy bday Fribeka.....fantastic result this morning, although the chances the orange created and didn't take towards the end were unreal to say the least...Kuyt's great run, and then he forgot to toe poke the ball....bet you Jorge would have scored that one!!
ReplyDeleteEnrique, if you're out there, comiserations my friend...it's a funny game!
Can't wait for tomorrow morning's clash. If Messi & co can control their emotions and remain composed (unlike Brazil today) could be a close one, but still sticking with Argentina.
Have a great weekend everone.
Awesome player focus (Big D) and johnaldo...
Johnaldo,
ReplyDeletewould you send details of the sept. travel please? location, day of arrival, hotel and so on....thanks
If Uruguay Wins the WC, is the end of the World Cup? or the end of the World in 2012?
ReplyDeleteSpooky ha?.
Because they won only one at the first W.C. event in 1930, and now will be this the last one?
Go Orange Save the world. :o)
Happy btdy. Jack
and congrat. Holland & Uruguay
wow..... Brazil are out and Paraguay are still in!!! what's happening? I thought L'Orange deserved their win after their second half performance..... Brazil never did get out of second gear. Ghana had their chances..... a really big chance from 12 yards out!
ReplyDeleteTano.... it's the big one now!
ReplyDeleteTom A.... it's September 25/26 so probably travel over on the Thursday night (23rd) to Edinburgh or Glasgow then travel up to Hopeman that Friday. Games on the Sat/Sun then you could fly back Monday morning....or have a little break in Scotland! I will have more details shortly
ReplyDeleteCome on Argentina! need a goal
ReplyDeleteArniesto.... that was a great article... very funny
ReplyDelete45 minutes for Argentina to save their dreams
ReplyDeleteut oh.... looks like adios Argentina....
ReplyDeleteDon't cry for me Argentina........The truth is..
ReplyDeleteTANO.... sorry man.... that was a beating though.... they were unstoppable...Sweinsteiger was just incredible.... he was everywhere.
ReplyDeleteWho said the Europeans were in trouble? Could end up with 3 of them in the semis!
Spain up next!
....why do we have to wait another 4 years for this?
Maradona get an overdose of goals.
ReplyDeleteHe burned Messi with that strategy.
And like I said anyone can coach better than Maradona.
He made subs to late, 25 minutes in 2nd. half? come on.
Samuel should be there he is a wall.
The sad thing of this is that Messi (0 goals) looks like another bluff now like Christiano Ronaldo (just one dummy goal).
The good news is I don't have to play naked now Johnaldo, I keep my decency intact.
See you in 2014.
Al list Brazil and England are out too.
Johnaldo did you talk to Messi and said to him: "you will score today Lio?"
ReplyDeleteThe Argentinan Radios said this:
ReplyDeleteMick Jagger is the luck stone becasue
He was first for USA and then for England now for Argentina.
WHAT A STONE.
tano.... sorry... i txted him this morning to say "score one for the team" .... a bad move by me
ReplyDeleteI here Jagger is supporting Holland next ;o)
ReplyDeletehahaha bye Holland, then.
ReplyDeletetano... ok, so Spain or Paraguay? Europeans to kick out all the South Americans?
ReplyDeletesnnnnnooooooooooze fest....... come on someone do something!
ReplyDeletethat's better....
ReplyDeleteIt's all Europe now!!
ReplyDelete..... apart from Uraguay
ReplyDeleteHappy 4TH July!
ReplyDeleteJohnaldo-hope you enjoyed the second half of the Spain-Paraguay game! You sounded like you were sleeping through it!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day all!
Hi Annie.... yes second half was a lot better.... although the ref started to get in the way of a good game... 4 teams left and 3 of them Europeans! they were not really in trouble at all.
ReplyDeleteHope you all have a nice day celebrating your Independance from us Brits.....
Not too many burgers now....
Definitely not good when the ref has the most impact on the field during a game.....in any sport!
ReplyDeleteWe will celebrate the way us Americans celebrate everything....by eating and drinking too much! ;o)
Go Oranje!! Crush Uruguay!!
ReplyDeleteJodingo!! yes, i hoping for a Holland VS Germany.... or Spain
ReplyDeleteThis is bad...You also wanted Argentina, as did Mickey, and we all know how that turned out. You two please suppport Uruguay!
ReplyDeleteMick Jagger is now a big supporter of The Oranje! you would be a fool to cry!
ReplyDeleteDon't start me up....
ReplyDeleteyes, it was my biggest mistake
ReplyDeleteGimmee shelter from those wild horses that will run all over Uruguay!
ReplyDeleteNervous Jodingo!! ??
ReplyDeleteJohnaldo! Johnaldo! johnaldo!! Are you a believer now????!?!
ReplyDeleteGOOOOOOO OOOORRRRRAAAAANNNNNJJJJJJEEEEEEE!
p.s. from now on, I do not care if they win it all or not because I just know that it will be a beautiful/fantastic Final to watch given that either Germany or Spain will make it! Of course, I rather Spain!
great victory for the Orange people!!
ReplyDeleteSo it's going to be an all European final after all! Glad Holland are through and i don't care who they play in the final.... although the game tomorrow will be an interesting one!
ReplyDelete...at least Mick Jagger finally picked a winner!
ReplyDeleteHolland deserve a at least one world cup
ReplyDeletealso Spain.
I wish the final be Spain vs Holland and some one win by penalties kicks.
Uruguay was a close and the 2cnd goal was offside.
IN resume from this Wc bad referees and Germany is the best organizated league for new generation of players.
No more WC soccer stars like Zidane, Ronaldo(brazilian)Matthaus, Platini, Maradona or Pele
TANO i agree.... when i was a kid the World Cup was all about names like Pele, Rivelino,Eusabio and Jairzinho! Then Cruyff and Beckenbauer. Then Maradonna.....
ReplyDeleteMessi did not do it this World cup.... cannot be seen as a great until he does.... and no single player stands out as the WOW factor player this time....
