Looks like the Dutch are going with this lineup:
-------------Van der Sar-------------
Melchiot---Heitinga---Bouma---De Cler
--------De Zeeuw---Engelaar---------
Affelay-------Van Persie-------Robben
--------------Huntelaar--------------
If this is true then they do not intend to give the game to Romania!!!

Looks very strong even for a B side.

It's also been rumored that Wesley Sneijder will be playing as well in Affellay's place.

Damn it looks like France and Italy won't have a penalty shoot out to decide who comes 3rd if need be :(

Wonder if Domenech is going to trot out 70 year old waste of space Makelele for yet another 90 undeserving minutes.

This match will have a winner, if it's a draw both teams are retarded, they need to attack full strength from the start to have a chance and 1 team will benefit from that and become the winner, probably Italy.
mad theory

To be honest, he's been their best player, and that says it all.

The correct term is: "least crappy".

That title belongs to Ribery.
Makelele has done nothing but foul and act like a cnut in both of the opening games.
Looking at the formation, the Italians should commit sepuku if they dont win today. It looks like the a small variation on tactics that clearly DONT work for the French. Toulalan and Makelele both starting again for some reason. We have all seen how well that works.

Major blow to France. He was their best player so far in this tournament and was looking great during those first couple of minutes :(

I think France it's chances have just dropped below 5%.

I think France it's chances have just dropped below 5%.
Before the injury, I would have thought that France would win this game...now, Italy looks like the safer bet.

Ouch! Hopefully it isn't too serious for Ribery.
Time to shine for Samir Nasri and Karim Benzema!

So far it's been a much more open game than the WC final.

Really feel bad for Ribery. I'm all for Italy, but that's terrible to see him go off in what looked like serious discomfort.
Here's hoping it's not a long recovery.

Lol, what a crappy game it's been so far. No link-up play, whatsoever.
