It has been wrong at predicting the Euro 2008 final winner, so that's good news for the Dutch =)

I didn't say anything about countries, I was merely saying that the popular opinion can be retarded. Practically everyone in the world used to thing that the earth was flat. Did that make it true? No.

Not that this is relative to anything at all; but that's a myth, by the way. It was never a popular belief that the world was flat. That belief, I guess, is something modern man has created to make themselves feel better about themselves.

But still, like I said in the other thread that you needlessly created, Slo: sport is defined as that which is done entirely for the purposes of entertainment, thus the greatest sport on the planet would be that that entertained the vastest number and the vastest array of indivuduals. Hence, Football (Soccer) is the greatest sport in the world. It was and will never be my intention to say "this sport is more entertaining than this sport etc...", because my attempts would be futile. I, instead, opt for the use of logic to determine a reasonable answer to settle a question. Logic, which for someone whose title reads "Logic or GTFO", seems to be entirely lost on you.

"sport is defined as that which is done entirely for the purposes of entertainment"

The players don't do it for the entertainment... The do it for the money!!!!!!!!!

[gouldy]

lol, yeah, true story. But they're paid the money because it's their job, their job being to entertain.

[Oscar]

No, their job is to win games so their team makes more money!

And since winning makes there fans happy winning=entertaining...

You really don't think we'd enjoy any Dutch game if they lost right? We've played our worst-to-look-at games in a century. But we don't give a f*ck, we want that world cup this time. We won the best-team-to-never-win cup to often by now xD

[gouldy]

If it wasn't entertaining, Oscar, no one would go and watch and there would be no money for anyone.

[Oscar]

I am glad I got you annoyed.

[gouldy]

I r not annoyed [^]

Pff, there are better ways to make lots of money. You could start a bank, go bankrupt and ask Obama for money, then retire.

[gouldy]

haha, yeah. I still think I'd prefer the lifestyle and female attention offered by the professional athlete option [;)]

[Oscar]

piff
<-- I think my Platinum titles win over all others, so there.

[gouldy]

I'd rather be a very important person, than own some fairly precious metal. [:P]

[Oscar]

fail!

[slosprint]

I like soccer. Soccer is a good sport.

[gouldy]

So here it is, what literally the entire world has been waiting for, what literally all Americans have been hoping would hurry up and arrive so everyone else would shut up about football, the World Cup final.

I hope that Holland win because:
1. they play in Orange
2. I dislike Spanish people as I have been to Spain
3. I know Dirk Ermen

It would be very nice if Spain could lose the match in some extremely gut wrenching way, that would be awesome.

Damn this match is very bestial...every minute there is a foul xD

[gouldy]

yeah, it's been pretty rubbish so far, mind you, this world cup hasn't been particularly good even compared to other world cups. Like I've said many times, international football is usually fairly dull, unfortunately this is proving me right :/

[Dirk_Ermen]

Yay, they are taking all the players down one by one... Start playing you idiots!

[hyyyper]

Is this football or Kickboxing-Team-Deathmatch?

[slosprint]

I am currently eating this stone ground Mexican chocolate. It is amazing.

[Dirk_Ermen]

Why not one with 'BZZZZzzzzzzzz' on it?

[gouldy]

so, Spain have won, wankers.
