^he smokes crack like a superstar that s for sure.

It was great game with both sides missing some great chances and GKs dominated but Italy should ve won just because of their experience. Either way it would ve been sad to see a loser in this game.

Italy disappointed no doubt, but if they win their last game against equally terrible frenchies, they should go through.

Tell you what...I'm 5 if Romania was flopping as bad as Italy. That's fair.

Arjen Robben is a livewire on the pitch. If only he could stay more healthy....

Indeed, with healthy Robben the Netherlands counter attack is going to became more and more lethal...

i never understood why did Chelsea let him go. :dontknow:

Holland is the clear cut favorite now. Drubbed Italy 3-0 and smashed France 4-1, who is going to stop them? Everybody seems to be playing in slow motion compared to them.

Dutch are playing amazing, if they can strengthen the D a bit they are in great shape.

be calm guys, take it easy.

Those dutchies are damn impressive, but'll hold my praise till they played romania. So far, they always had the chance to run their running, counter attacking style against teams that were considered better. Let's see how they handle a team that'll stand deep and wait. Both matches will start at the same time, and a draw is enough for Romania to advance, if France-Italy is a draw at the same time.
This is gonna get a really interesting situation.

i'm sure they will rest some of the starters for the rumania game.

this is familiar scene to me, no seems is going to stop the netherlands, but they always mange to screw things up in the semi finals hopefully that doesn't happen again.

Shiyt!

And rofl, both world cup finalists @ the bottom of the group after 2 games.
Romania is gonna have their future in their own hands with pretty good chances @ the next round since the Dutch are already sure to finish 1st in the group will prolly field their B squad vs the Romans.

France shuda gotten a penalty when the Dutch defender stopped Henry's shot (which was on goal) with his arm, but that doesn't matter cuz the Dutch were still the better team on the field anyways. Props to Holland for making it a fun game that was worth going out to watch. Van Basten's 1 lucky bastard to have all that talent on his squad.

They shud go far in this tourney, their only weakness I noticed is that besides Van Bronkhorst none of their defeders were that impressive, but Van Der Sar is still a beast after all these years and makes up for that.

Hopefully the Dutch B squad beats or ties Romania, so that the winner of the France Italy matchup goes thru.

Not sure about that. Don't get me wrong, they're playing great and I absolutely love this team, but opponents always get their opportunities agains us.

ETA: I've never seen such team spirit on the national team btw. Players and coaches all seem to be on the same wavelength, and players are genuinely happy for each other when something good happens, even the bench guys.

They're putting on a clinic right now! A possible matchup with Spain (in Semis) would be insane!
