i blame the chillean goalkeeper who gave villa a goal and Oscar Cardozo, who couldnt score his most important penalty, and made paraguays goal offside.

As strong as Spain can be...
...they haven't been as good as they were two years ago.
And even then they did only win 1:0. Against a pretty bad German side.

So looking at what I've seen in this tournement...I do feel your oppinion is somewhat unrealistic.

Spain will destroy Germany.
THey will play much better in the semis. They know they can crush Germany after the euro performance. They have way to many good players. I have seen Germany make mistakes in this tournament and Spain will punish them.

I never felt so bad being right

correction.
Referee failure of the year for not giving puyol a red + germany a fk for that foul on edge of box.

I don't see how it was a red, but a foul certainly.

prevents a goal scoring chance in the box. Straight red. Ref hasnt given any cards this match. Perhaps he doesnt like Holland.

I have to say, this is strangely sweet... All the Germans who thought they would win this tourney easy with their beautiful football will know know the bitter pain of being the best team, but not winning. In short, they'll experience being Dutch. :p

It wasn't in the box, or at least it didn't look like it. When the tackle occured Pique was lying in that little semi-circle.

It's only an automatic red if the player has broken through.

Well, thats not criteria for an automatic red. The player needs to be in the clear, past the defenders. Clearly not the case.

It was certainly a foul, probably a yellow... But a straight red, no way.

I don't think it was a foul, he was looking for the penalty, pretty much threw himself into puyol's leg.
If it was a foul, it was no way a red. no way.
1. It was malicious
2. Wasn't really the last man.

Don't bother. Spain will crush us 6-0.... Maybe even 7-0. The Netherlands as a country, culture, people will be obsolete after Sunday. Very likely we will petition Germany to become a protectorate, or maybe even just invite them in to colonize us.
