Though an early goal from the Germans could seal a win for them, as the Dutch will have no option but to attack like crazy leaving their poor defense open to get ripped apart. I think Germany based on today's performance can only go up tbh, I really hope the LW position is figured out. Podolski either raises his game or is benched...
The Holland coach, Bert van Marwijk, refused to blame Robin van Persie for missing the chances that led to the defeat against Denmark that left his team as the surprise first victims of the group of death – but blamed just about everyone else, including the referee for failing to award a last-minute penalty for handball by Lars Jacobsen http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/jun/09/euro-2012-robin-van-persie-holland
Of course. Llorente, Negredo, and Torres(make of that what you will) are all on the bench. I surely thought Llorente would get the nod over Silva.
well, we both agree on toress that he is not a real player.. let a lone being a striker . I dont think Llorente and Negredo are quality strikers to be honest with you. Ps: spain surly miss puyol and villa
this is a very very absorbing contest. Great passing from both sides, crunching tackles and excellent technique. Despite the novel 4-6-0, Italy are winning the tactical battle - it has been a long time since I have seen Spain so unsettled and threatened.
with the 6 midfield i think Spain plan is to pass the ball inside the net.. Great effort by Italy! Iker saves the day again
As expected, it is 0-0 so far and it is either going to end 0-0 or 1-0 to italy. Spain can never score against Italy in regular time.
Viktor Kassai has shown once again to be a very useless ref, Warning Ballotelli for punching the field, When did punching the field become an offence? This was the same ref who carded Alaba and awarded a penner at Bernabeu
