Benzema looks decent and Nasri looks none too bad but I haven't really seen enough of them to rate them yet.
Should be a close affair this one, the French need to pull out all the stops to try and win and the Dutch don't sit back so I'm hoping for a good attacking game.

Yeah but i don't think we will play as good as we did against italy. So Robben will play

Yeah, but no-one knows until we see them play. I wouldn't take a chance with Robben if it's not necessary, not this game. But my name's not Marco

So i guess it'll be Henry and Nicolas Fluffka to start us off then.

5-1.
Sneijder twice, Van Persie twice and Kuijt. Own goal from Matthijsen. Gallas gets sent off in 34th minute. Henry sees a penalty stopped by Van der Sar early in the game.
Really hoping for a draw but realistically I don't think its going to happen. If Holland play like they did against Italy then they'll win atleast 2-0 as France just don't look the part especially without their experienced captain and striker(Henry & Vieira)

Put it this way: France can't possibly play worse than they did against Romania and Holland can't possibly play better than they did against Italy. So I think it could be a tight game.
Holland have the huge advantage of France's need to win. Given how awesome the Dutch counter-attacking was against Italy, it will suit them down to the ground if France throw everything at them.
