I want to say that I was wrong thinking the Dutch would throw the game. Hunter, my favorite Dutch player, really proved he's the real deal. Good Luck to the Netherlands, you deserve to win this whole thing. Dutch fans are great too. Romania, you played with heart but also had some luck. You'll be back in 2010 because the quality is there, just need to take more risks next time. HAI ROMANIA! France, well, tough luck for you guys but Domenech needs to go. You don't leave Trezeguet at home because he plays in Serie A, same with Mexes. I hope Ribery recovers soon because he's a quality player. See you in 2010 final. Italia, I hope you step it up a notch because you're not showing your true quality yet. Donadoni, you're lucky to still be here and I hope you appreciate what your players and your old buddy have done for you. Now show your worth without Pirlo orchestrating the offense. Forza Azzurri!
congratulations italy and holland!!! i hope holland will win it all (italy will beat them in the semi though...)
No, can you people please stop accusing me of that, of the 4 big clubs in Holland Feyenoord is my least favorite. Heck I like Huntelaar, he is from a village only 2 miles from here, but his performance tonight was not so good, he just lacks the experience to play at this level. But a striker that manages to get 3 hand balls in the first 35 minutes is very lucky not to get sent off.
I hope you get the chance! I have to give credit to Van Basten and the Dutch players. I did not think Holland would play this match to do anything but win, and I am happy to be proven correct. Fair Play! This dutch team and their fans are the class of this tournament. Good luck the rest of the way!
Yeah I have nothing against any team in this group, even though it got heated here and there it was without animosity which is a positive thing. I feel for Romania and (amazingly) France as well. One side was an underdog up against impossible odds and still had a chance to shock the world while the other has all the talent to win the tournament but was damed with poor coordination in management. I think both Romania and France will come back in 2010 and punish a lot of people while the Dutch just might be embarking on a extraordinary era, time will tell. As for now lets just hope for good football and some great entertainment before the summer officially begins.
Duh........LOL..........I dont think anyone in Holland thought we would play this well, this has been absurd, dammit!!! I love it though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey guys, lets be cordial. Too much trolling and crap is going around in this forum, which I'm also guilty of, and it should stop. This is a respect thread, so let's be respectful.
OKay!!!!!!!!! I will shut up right now!!! Good thing, cause its bedtime right now Cheers mate Can I say one teeny weeny bad thing about Toon before I go to bed??? One eeeeeennny weeennnyyyyyyyyy tiinnnnny punnnnny bad thing???
While we're at it, lets also show some respect to Ribéry. He was one of the best for the French this tournament, and its sad to see him leave like that.
I'm not sure why Van Basten is getting credit, I don't think he could have put in a weaker side. Unless he played himself
