Guess it's not too late yet to comment on the Holland-France game... I once again had a very enjoyable night at the pub! Hope it was good for you as well, Bertrand/Heckler Spray!
I wasn't very confident during the second part of the first half though. France put on a lot of pressure and clearly exposed the defensive weaknesses of the Dutch team. Luck was a more important factor in this game than it was in the Italy game. But what a very, verrrry bold move by Van Basten to put on both Robben
and Van Persie while being under that kind of pressure. How many coaches would have done that? I wasn't sure if it was a good idea at the time, but 5 minutes later they were responsible for the 2-0, so I had to eat my words/thoughts.
After that Robben goal people were standing up and applauding. Amazing finish and perfectly timed, 45 seconds after Henry's goal (which was awesome as well). Thuram and Coupet could've done better though... Sneijder's goal was great too, but he has scored many like those for Ajax.
Bring one the quarters! Whoever's going to win it now, they will always have won "the tournament in which that Dutch team played so awesome".
