This game didn't live up to its expectactions but it wasn't surprising. Both teams have already qualified and didn't seem like they wanted to push themselves. I think Holland prefers to play Portugal next than to potentially play Germany in the quarter finals. Regardless, Holland played well against a very solid Argentina.

they both didn't really have anything to play for except first place in the group and facing Mexico rather than Portugal, which is actually worth it now that i think about it. Nice rematch from 2004 now though between Portugal and Holland. Winner of that plays winner of England/Ecuador in the QF. Could also be an Argentina/Germany QF too.

not a problem Fuad
it saved searching for it in the thread
I watched the first half and there was nothing really spectacular about it at all. I thought for sure when I had to go back to work that something would happen and I kept checking The Score to see but nothing. So guys, I am sorry you all had to watch a boring game, but I am sure as glad I missed the bore over excitement
It really is too bad though cuz as already stated this was what ppl were hoping would be one of the best matches so far and I am sure a lot were disappointed as well.

Naaaaa!!! LOL
I just wish it would have been a real game! It would have had the makings of a Final Match!
It didnt really matter matchup wise nor did either team want to risk any major injury or cards to any key players that where already in jeopardy. Unlike yesterday with Germany. Klinsmann in all his wisdom decides to let Ballack (carrying a Yellow Card) to continue in the game when they where already 3-0 in the second half. It was mentioned this was a test to the so called team leader? I think it was foolish and that something is definatley going on between the two as a result of Ballack wanting to play in the opener!
Anyways good luck against Portugal. Hope its an entertaining match but from what I've seen so far of Portugal. It shouldnt be a problem!
ciao

I was at the Pontiac Silverdome for the WC'94 match between Brazil and Sweden...same thing...the two best teams in the group meeting in the final group game, both already having secured places in the 2nd round...once it was tied at 1-1, the match lost its luster...but watching the Brazilian and Swedish supporters kept it entertaining enough
