Exactly time for the reserves to get some game time.  MVB shouldn't be too disheartened if they knock out the french and Italians by losing to Romania.

Save his best players for the 1/4 finals.

Holland wont win it


  I'd be happy to see Holland win....I've always liked Dutch footballl,  how they produce talent from a small population and the emphasise on technical football.

  But I'm inclined to agree, they wont win it.  Being in such a strong group,  probably means they'll have put in too much into qualifying......probably lose on pens.  They're even worse than England  at this.

Exactly, Holand are top of the group whatever happens,. theres are players in that squad that have the chance of the lifetime, give them that chance, give the star players a rest, so they are ready for the next round.

I think they should try to lose to be honest.

If they don't lose to Romania, then lose to France or Italy in the semi finals, if I were a dutchy I'd be v. angry.  Netherlands have earned the right to send the French and Italians home.

I don't think the dutch tactics are going to help them win tbh. They can counter attack very well, but all it needs is for them to come up against a team that can take its chances and have something resembeling a defence and they'll struggle.

I agree to a certain extent, I'd be surprised to see the dutch win it.  Just think they'll find themselves a goal down or two and they'll have one of those days were the don't get the rub of the green.


I hope I'm wrong as so far they deserve to go far.

 One of the curios of this tourny so far is that all the defences seem a bit shit, even Italy,who have been reduced to Panucci and Chiellini.  Whereas in recent years they've had a pick from Cannavaro, Nesta, Maldini, Baresi, Costacurta.

 Spain, have Puyol and Marchena, distinctly dodgy. Metzhelder and Merterseker resemble a couple of trees.  Portugal's pairing of Pepe and Carvalho looks as good as anything, so probabaly makes them favourites.

Puyol is a no nonsense defender. He's ace.  Cool

Oh and has great hair!
