Will be rooting for Brazil to hand those damn dutchies another L on this tournament.

[treiz]

Rooting for Brazil, as a consolation

Rooting for Brazil, as a consolation

Yes that will comfort these Brazilians.

[edfmx86]

I think Brazil is the more deflated of the two, its going to be Holanda for me.

[Cruzeirao]

Well, i think Holanda is goin to win.

And i don't even care about the 3rd place.

I would care if the game were against Argentina... Now, all i want is to Germany wins.

Well, maybe that and a German win can at least help ease the pain a bit

They gotta react positively from yesterday and let's hope they put in a performance

[MountainDrew]

Neither team wants to play this game. So pointless.

[cgf]

I think they'll be able to rally around thiago silva, especially if scolari unshackles the team a little by playing Hulk, Bernard and willian in attack with Oscar feeding them from the 10. We take out their rivals, they take out ours.

[Meloholic]

Who the heck wants to watch this game?? It seems so meaningless to come in 3rd.

[Next Coming]

Just play Memphis Depay and Jordy Clasie and I'm there.

[KL78192020]

Brazil should start all their bench guys.

I agree. I feel deflated watching those penalty misses, it felt like Euro 2000 all over again, and maybe because my boy Kluivert was on both teams as a player and then as an assistant manager here.

Horror all over again. But for what it's worth our defense didn't look as weak as we anticipated. De Vrij, Martins Indi looked really solid thru out the tournament. And with Wijnaldum, Clasie and Depay hopefully getting picked up by big clubs soon we can start that rebuild sooner rather than later.

Alas, another generation of Dutch stars will have failed to get the job done; good buy Kuyt, good bye Sneijder, good bye De jong. I can see Robben and Van Persie showing up for one more World cup but they'll be past their prime by then.

Here's to hoping these veterans can at least win this next Euro.

I believe your exact words were more along the lines of france kicking our ass, but since if you go back far enough my family has some dutch blood I was going to cut you some slack #stilldon'tbelieve7-1actuallywasn'tjustamasshallucinatino

[DD12]

Cgf since when you are making fun of people's prediction??

[cgf]

Since you started making predictions about BuLi teams in the CL

Robben and RVP will be too old next WC. De Jong will probably still be there. We do need to rebuild but we will have a problem cause I don't see much attacking talent that will be there in 2-4 years.
Kishna has the talent but he is too young and has a lot too prove, but he could get there if he develops well. Boetius has the talent as well and I expect a lot of Depay. Other than that there isnt much.

Wijnaldum and Clasie shouldn't be in the future plans, they aren't good enough. But we have Blind, Vilhena, Klaassen and van Ginkel. In defense we have de Vrij, Indi, Kongolo, Veltman, Virgil van Dijk, van der Wiel, Janmaat (altho I'm not a huge fan), maybe Denswil, maybe Rekik and maybe Aké. So that's pretty solid.

As keepers Cillessen and Krul so also no problems there.

[AdamTheGreek]

I've got Brazil, but Holland will be the more relaxed team.

If Brazil gets rocked again I don't know what would happen.
