Live match streaming on the NET from Univision -Mexico's largest cable station is very entertaining to say the least

The Germany game was also huge.

A week ago people were talking about an all South America final. Now it may well be an all Europe final!

sure will be. hope the Dutch manage to play better in the finals, though. this one was a bit messy.

i understand the 'psychic' German octopus has predicted a win for Spain, though...

So it's the cheese eating clog heads versus the dirty dago b@st@rds?

Gotta go for the cheese eating clog heads as I don't use a swear word when I describe them. And they saved us from the Scottish kings in the 17 hundreds.

Shoot them, stuff them, nail them to the branch, then take the picture.

Guess which term is being defined here FB:
The contemporary use of the term is alleged to have first appeared on the Internet in the late 1980s,[4] but the earliest known example is from 1992.[5] It is thought to be a truncation of the phrase trolling for suckers. That phrase is itself derived from the fishing technique of slowly dragging a lure or baited hook from a moving boat, waiting for fish to strike, a technique known as trolling.[6]
