on a side note to the national anthem posters.. why the hell we dutchies keep on singing our anthem is beyond me...

here is the text (its full version here: Wilhelmus van Nassauwe)

Wilhelmus van Nassouwe
ben ik, van Duitsen bloed,
den vaderland getrouwe
blijf ik tot in den dood.
Een Prinse van Oranje
ben ik, vrij onverveerd,
den Koning van Hispanje
heb ik altijd geëerd.


translating:

Wilhelmus of Nassau, (german area/place)
Am I of german blood,
loyal to fatherland
I stay till death.
A prince of orange
I am, without fear.
the king of spain
i have always honoured.

Because its the oldest national anthem in the world and shows our history.

Eh Vasc? It basically says that Wilhelm is related to the German Royal line, and is loyal to them. The bit about Spain is only saying that he was on good terms with, or subject to the Spanish king.

Villa. What a player.

Just imagine how better he can be with not only Xavi and Iniesta pulling the strings, but also the worlds best player by a country mile, Leo Messi and Fabregas too

its the oldest song used as a national anthem but it have only been hollands national anthem since 1932

Thats what I said, the oldest national anthem in the world.

Clicky

Het Wilhelmus is the national anthem of the Netherlands and is the oldest national anthem in the world though the words of the Japanese national anthem (not the music) date back to the ninth century. Although it was not recognized as the official national anthem until 1932, it has always been popular with parts of the Dutch population and resurfaced on several occasions in the course of Dutch history before gaining its present status.

Not changed back to Spain flag yet Marc? :D

I can still see them failing to move out of the group stages. For all the pretty football (and it is a joy to watch at times) they should have demolished Honduras. Chile won't be a walk over and they must win. Even if they do win, then they still need to beat them by 1 more goal than the Swiss beat Honduras.

So far,
Spain 2 goals scored +1 GD
Swiss 1 goal scored 0 GD

If the Swiss win by 2 nil and Spain only win 1 nil then I think the Swiss go through because they beat Spain (I think that's the rule) same goal difference, same amount of goals scored. Though obviously if Spain lose or only manage a draw vs Chile and the Swiss win then its game over or if they both lose but Spain by more goals its also game over, which also means Spain could potentially finish bottom of the group.

And then there is the fact that if they finish 2nd in the group they have to face Brazil in the next round. Its going to be bloody tough for Spain over the next couple of games.

If they can get out of the group and then beat Brazil I can see them winning the world cup.

Amazing insight Raven - if the #2 ranked team beats the #1 ranked team in the world then they have a good shot at winning the whole thing?

I am flabbergasted at the in depth level of analysis you present to us good sir.
