You forgot the part where the Netherlands did everything short of making a fist and punching one of the Germans in the jaw. If they were going to play that way, they should have hired better karate masters.

I'm Swiss, and at least partially due to the fact that we utterly suck at football, every time Germany loses, 7 million Swiss people pop a bottle of champagne (the same one, we're too cheap to each buy our own.)

But after the last world cup game against Spain, I lost all respect for the Dutch national team, unless they can pull of some major behavior adjustment to show that they're not a bunch of fucking thugs.

Don't be angry at them. It's what people do when they are scared and confronted with a superior enemy.

I think they're still traumatized that you stole their bicycles.

Best part was Löw prodding the ball-boy :)

[–]ReneG8 2 points3 points ago

Which was, as it turns out, a time fake from UEFA. He did this 20 minutes prior to the game, they made it look like it was actually during the game.

I definitely like the dutch. Usually they are the friendly neighbours. Only when it comes to football or driving on the autobahn I "hate" them.

[–]Turaton 2 points3 points ago

This sums it up.

[–]gosslot 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, sounds about right.

[–]CWagner 0 points1 point ago

Autobahn? Be happy you didn't meet too many Danes yet.

[–]ZeMilkman 1 point2 points ago

You can't blame them. Afaik in the Scandinavian countries cars usually have tires that are only rated for speeds up to 130km/h so even if they wanted they could't drive any faster.

[–]CWagner 0 points1 point ago

Driving faster? That's not the problem, reckless driving is.

[–]cgiall420 -1 points0 points ago

that's fine, just stay out of the left lane with your fucking camper when I'm doing 200km/h in my Audi right behind you.

Bayern are idiots for letting him go

[–]Nutzer1337 7 points8 points ago

The thing is: He doesn't want to go back. That makes me proud. He really loves Borussia Dortmund.

[–]ElBartoME 4 points5 points ago

Hummels is gold. He impressed me from the first minute. I still can't believe that he is not the man of the match Portugal vs. Germany. They chose Özil...wtf?

[–][deleted] -4 points-3 points ago

first minute?? He made 2 mistakes within the first 5minutes. I was glad he got better after that.

[–]kidneyguy 7 points8 points ago

In the words of Skwisgaar Skwigelf, "the Dutch are scum."

[–]gouache 0 points1 point ago

Mats!

Some men just want to see the world burn.
