Ans also... Verpakovskis... a name to remember. That's gonna be a big one.

Holland- Czech Republic - amazing first half, 2-1 at the moment. Should be a good 2nd half.

I dont like fotball much but I got a question: How is the Russia doing so far?

I can't believe the amount of injustice i whitnessed tonight. We must be cursed or something. :rolleyes:

OH! 3 - 2 - amazing game! Unlucky Holland! :D

Tyrant - Russia are out

MAN! The Netherlands lost! :(

But it was a good game. Shot from Nedved, Baroš, Davids, ... ;


But why the hell Makaay/Kluivert didn`t play?

Because they are not good enough.

ANYWAYS : DAMN IT! WE WAS ROBBED (speaking from a dutch point of view)

Because we have the dumbest coach on the planet, who should choke and die on his breakfast tomorrow. The substitution Robben/Bosvelt is the summit of stupidity. He takes out the best man on our side and replaces him with a man who has been warming up the bench of Manchester friggin City all year long.

All things aside, the Czechs have one of the best teams in the world right now, it's not really that surprising that we lose against them, but after watching the first half i had high hopes of a good result. The referee (the same one that refused to show Totti a red card for that disgusting foul against Denmark) denied v. Nistelrooy a clear penalty, and gave Heitinga a red card for a dive from Nedved in the second half.

I feel robbed.

The Refeeres are doing a poor job on this competition from the beggining of it. :(

The team was gaining confidence, playing well, scoring goals, and Advocaat substitutues our most swinging player. From that moment on, the team was plagued with doubt and insecurity and was forced to drop back, which always leads to goals from the other side. The best defense is a good offense. Heck, Holland could've played a bloody 2-4-4 formation and won with 5-0, but instead Advocaat tries to "play it safe" with 35 minutes to go. If it was the 85th minute, things would've been different. He simply has no idea how to coach a team - I blame him for 75% of the result and Gonzalez (the crap referee) for the other 25%.
