Semi-finals

I absolutely hate Mark van Bommel.

He is a cunt.

Great last ditch foot on the ball there from Dirk right at the end, before the shot could be taken......

Delighted for him, but not overly impressed with the Dutch despite their impressive winning streak. Not great to watch, Van Persie is doing a Torres......think Spain or the Germans won't have major problems as long as they can stand up physically to the Dutch, that's about the only way the Dutch can win this I think.

Robben's header was ace and an assist from Kuyt!

Is there an assists table for the World Cup?

Dirk Kuyt...World Cup Winner ?

Dirk Kuyt...World Cup Winner ?

He's pretty much played every minute of all their games so far hasn't he? Love him

I'm sure I heard a stat earlier on in the tournament that it was his 35 game in a row for Holland or something - the best record for 40 odd years. So must be nearly 40 games now. That's impressive if true.

I stand to win a decent amount of money if Spain win and Villa is top scorer, but if that doesn't happen I'll be right chuffed if Dirk gets to lift the trophy.

Dirk hasn't looked out of place in that side at all. He had a bad season for us last year but he's been much improved in this tournament. Keep it up Dirk.

Dirk Kuyt is such a sweetheart, coming out again with Sneijder to celebrate with the travelling Dutch fans - such an awesome person. @LFCTV

Vital late clearance by Kuyt, too. Chuffed that he'll be in the final. Is that 40 consecutive games for #NED Netherlands now?

[Kenneth]

I'll be made up for dirk if they win it. Great guy.

"World Cup Winner, Dirk Kuyt"

[sean_lfc]

Did I mention Germany winning the cup, 2-1, Klose to score the winner?

Well, here it is

[badpiggy]

Van Bommel seems to have moved on from being a diver/hard man to being an out and out psycho who is only on the pitch to maim other players. I cannot like this Dutch team for so many reasons.

Can't stand them myself.


Knobs the lot of them, apart from Dirk.
They have been incredibly lucky as well.

goal.com managed to rate van bommel as player of the day on their website.... I remmeber players from Bayern coming out and saying they generally thought he was crazy and that he should go to a mental asylum or something because he was a nutter
