    Anyone else think that the winner of today's game is at a slight disadvantage to the Netherlands because of the scheduling? They get to kick back today and watch this game while the winner gets one less day of prep time and rest. I don't think it would have been a bad thing to have both semi's on the same day.

    3 full days of rest is plenty plus everyone knew the schedule going in.

    Are you seriously saying they're at a "disadvantage"? If they're good, they're good no matter WHAT. Did you want BOTH games the same day, sir? :confused:

    Looking forward to this game.

    The octopus predicted a loss for Germany, and he hasn't been wrong this tournament.

    What is "the octopus"? Did he pick all the group stage games correctly as well?

    I hope he is right.

    Are you seriously that obtuse? What was so confusing about what I asked? Yes, I think Netherlands gets a slight advantage by having an extra day off for rest and practice. What's wrong with having both games on the same day?

    What's so hard about that to understand?


    I don't disagree, but 4 full days is better than 3 full days...especially if a player needs attention to an injury. Obviously no one is complaining. I just thought I'd raise the question.

    It's like Barca against the Germany, 7 of 11 players are from FC Barcelona.
