Quote:The best publicity for the game of football....the matches of Holland.They are not afraid to attack.:)
I can't really understand how Holland managed to beat Italy and France in such a way.
I watched the France-Netherlands match with some good friends at an ale pub in Leesburg, Virginia, on Friday. We were all rooting for the Orange side. We went nuts when that first header went in on the corner kick.
We swilled much ale, sipped a bit of scotch, and were mightily pleased with the brilliance of the Dutch side, and the honesty of the officiating. Having watched the semi of the world cup a few years back, wherein the officiating in the Netherlands/Brazil match was an atrocity against the Dutch perpetrated by a Morrocan official who was obviuosly playing politics) I can only say "It's about time the pendulum swung back."
My prediction on Portugal, having watched the Dutch team, is looking like a longer shot that it did at first.
