Here I am and on the East Coast. I am posting in from my vacation. Got the game on the television. My parents have a nice bigger TV and sound system, so much better. This is living. I think I am voting for the orange crush here but may the best team win. It would also be nice to see Spain get their first World Cup title so...I will say I am for either here. Got to watch this game as I have been following this so closely.

A note on the coverage. I have really liked the announcers and television coverage here. Nightly replays and they have showed all the games a few times on ESPN. I found the commentary pretty intelligent.

No predictors from me as I don't know enough. I hope it is a good game. Hope everyone is well and enjoying the week. My vacation is perfect.

Game commentary
I love the opening part. All that ceremony. :P
Interesting - both countries have royal families. Just observational comment.
The orange color appears to dominate because it is brighter but Spain is pressing right now.
I was very disappointed in the amount of penalties and yellow cards in this game.
For most of the regular time play it seemed that someone was flailing on the ground and acting up in dramatic fashion. Just stop it already and play the game. All those interruptions really wrecked it for me.
I am SO glad that Spain got that goal in the extra time. A great kick and they really deserved it as they were pressing on goal most of the time there. Just great.
We ended up wanting Spain to win because of how the Netherlands played and acted during the game...so YAY!

Nederlands 0 Spain 1

Alright!
