One game in which Romania defeated Holland, one could say that was one-off, but Romania defeated Holland two times in the qualifiers if I read correctly, so that is a good sign for them for the last game no matter what. The teams can't be that much different. Something to pay attention to 'cause the Netherlands took it to Italy, 3-0.
one tie, one loss for the NL.
I think the teams are quite different, but Romania are tough to beat.

Historically Holland doesnt do well in qualifiers, we save it for the real tournament ;)

Also I just wanna add you Italian fans have been great about this game so far
(for the most part).
I expected endless trolling and grumpiness but you guys have showed great sportsmanship.
We will remember this next time you beat us, and hope to return the favour

Hey amsteldam, thought of adding an avatar? They're available for non-paying members it seems. Try this - just click and save my one to your computer and then upload it and see if it works!

Amsteldam, I had intended to ask you on another thread, but chances are slim that you'll be visiting the Italian forums any time soon, so here goes... why don't you think that you guys could beat us in the semifinals (if we both get there)? The Dutch played a great game and exploited all of our weaknesses very well. And I don't want to hear any talk of match fixing :)

Yeah, you get one 4x4 pixels avatar and a 3-word signature. Royal sadness, trying to scrape a buck together like that, but hey... DIES IES AMERIKA ;) and the forums are nice.

Romania only beat Holland one time. 1-0 in Constanta. The game in Rotterdam ended 0-0. I heard that Romania beat Holland twice at least 4 times during the US broadcast so I don't blame you for thinking that.
The teams share very few similarities...actually none that I can think of. :D

It'll be WW3, a total massacre. It'll end up in a tie, go to PK's and thats where you guys are miles better then us.
Dont matter though, I'm thrilled with a semi-final finish for Holland

I think we're getting a little ahead of ourselves! After 1 game to predict a Holland vs Italy semi final is just asking to be proven wrong!

Sure, we really are getting ahead of ourselves, but we have to pass the time somehow :)
