And here we go again

Thanks to the World Cup we have been witness to several showdowns. Here are a few forgettable ones and some more memorable ones:

• Several German ones and a handful of English ones... The match made every single English fan hope and pray they develop a mild form of partial amnesia. The defense was non existent and the strikers were on another planet. In fact England's game had the potential to cause severe internal hemorrhaging in the very few people rooting for them. To cut it short, they were horrific.
• 2 Oranje fans and a handful of Yellow Green ones: Brazil was 1-0 up and the quintessential favorite was all set for another semi final. The Brazil fans in Monsieur Basu's atrium were content with the team they were rooting for. Enter two Oranje obnoxious fans screaming their support for the other team. To the utter consternation of the green yellow jerseys, Netherlands won. It was quiet a treat to see the crest fallen faces of the very same people screaming Brazzzzzzzzziiiilll! I was loving it.
• Argentina and Germany: I have no recollection of this match.
  
• Netherlands vs Spain: Its the 2 Oranje fans against one octopus and a bunch of red Spaniards. We shall scream, we shall win, and then we shall cook the Octopus and eat it!
