Are the people of Bonaire excited that the Netherlands are in the World Cup?

Like to see it but Spain looks real good. Netherlands were not that impressive against Uruguay. Nice to be in the finals though.

I was hoping for a German-Dutch final for lots of reasons, but it seems the Germans decided to play not to loose and did anyway to Spain if you get what I am saying. So now its "Go Netherlands" for me!!

What great finalist. Spain versus Holland. I am sitting on the fence but Paul, el pulpo, predicts Spain to win. I look forward to a very good match and the better side on the day wins. Also I hope the English Ref has a good day, with no real interference and bad decisions. The ref in the Spain Germany match was very good.

Sure it is, Diane and Bea. The German octopus predict that Spain will become the winner.

With Brazil out, there couldn't have been a better final: 2 newbies champions to be. No germans, italians or argentinians to get closer to the 5 times world champion.
I would support Holland, but the octopus hasn't failed so far...

Should Spain swallow the Dutch as Pauline did?

There were a lot of celebrations last night here in Spain. Of course, we had Paul the octopus on our side!!!!! So, he lives to see another day unless the Dutch have got him.
