HAHAHAHAHA.

Good result for the Netherlands ofcourse, but I'm still not convinced they're going to win the title. Untill now they always had all the luck on their side. I'd like to see how they react when they come behind, or when it becomes 1-1 in stead of 2-0.

In this match they especially couldn't convince me in the first half. France was technically the better side of the two and Holland needed a lot of fauls to stop them. But thanks to the early goal they could really take things slow. France had most of the chances before half time and it could have been a total different score than the 1-0.
In the second half I thought France still started ok but after the 2-0 it was practically over for them. They still managed to score the 2-1 but Robben could score a brilliant one and finish them off compeletly (but I have to say, really weak defending by Thuram). If you give them the space to play they can really to some damage ... with a 4-1 as result in this match

Second and third goals were amazing. Did Nistelrooy pass to himself before assisting RVP with that shot? So awesome!

You mean the one where he swivelled on the touchline and flicked it through to Robben to run into the 18 year box with, picking out RVP?

Sweet goal.

Sneider's 4th goal was a beast though. Up there with Ibrahimovic for the best shot of the tourney so far.

It's a piece of skill called the roulette. Zidane used to do it all the time, so it's a little ironic to see it used so well against the French.

Ah ok, I couldn't remember if Robben got the assist or Nistelrooy. I thought Nistelrooy actually managed to save it on the touchline, then recover it and pass to RVP.

Awesome move.

insane game. france was simply outplayed. they had a few chances and it might have been a different game had henry scored that volley but the fact remains netherlands are on fire!! i thought italy was just a weaker team when they faced them but that is not the case, if there is a favorite right now its definetly them. alas i think they will tie romania and france will beat italy and make it to the next round. the forthcoming matchup for this group is judgemend day for france

also ive never said this because ive liked domenech's choices however contraversial they seemed to be up until now but hes an absolute idiot for putting in Gomis instead of benzema or even nasri. ridiculous choice.

Domenech is an idiot for putting in Gomis and ANELKA over Benzema. Gomis isn't ready yet. Anelka just sucks balls. Granted I was really happy at the 4-1 win, I still can't figure that out.

yep not to mention not even having trezeguet as a selection (due to personal disputes).
