The Battle of Nuremberg

I have to say I'm honoured.

I can claim to have witnessed perhaps the most violent and ill-tempered match in World Cup history. That I have watched in my lifetime so far, of course. There may have been bloodier and violent-er matches in the past, but there is little use talking about a kicking match that took place before I was born right?

Suffice to say, the Portugese and the Dutch kicked the living daylights out of each other last night in Nuremberg. I don't think I will forget the Battle of Nuremberg anytime soon. Hell, I feel sore just WATCHING it.

Khalid Bhoularouz took Christiano Ronaldo out with a kungfu kick that Cantona would be proud of. Phillip Cocu threw Deco to the ground with a WWE slam. Wesley Sneijder floored Meira. Kyut took out Ricardo with a sliding tackle with studs showing.

And this was just the Dutch!

England must be sitting in their hotel room, smiling gleefully to themselves, watchinng their potential quarterfinal opponents rip themselves to shreds. Come the 1st of July, Portugal will take to the field without Deco and Costinha. And perhaps without the King of the Stepovers. The rest will be nursing lumps the size of grapefruits. Well, Becks did puke in front of billions, but I think he'll be fine by the time the quarterfinal clash comes about.

The match was horrible. Far from the hype. I mistook the Dtuch red as the first red and thought Portugal have one man more...ended up realising how bad Holland was playing. Also, I completely write of Kyut as a "star-to-be"...Nani? What is he playing? I may not like Ruud, but Ruud surely plays better at the moment. Van Basten took a wrong bet! Also, substituting Heitinga is also wierd to me...I was expecting an all-out attack substitution, never came, and Holland never looked to be in the game...Maybe they are auditioning for WWE!
