still going strong, crazy shit over here
the netherlands play soccer, as the dutch play q3... pure ownage
anyway, i hope Romania wins vs netherlands, so ro can get through, and let france and italy behind
how will ro win from NL, did you see NL's bank ? lol its no B team but a A team ffs. GL RO
Possession stats i have (from uefa.com, btw) say it was 57% to 43% (i admit i rounded it up a bit ;p). This again proves that they had the ball often enough to try and make something useful out of it, but they didn't. Solid defending being what it was from Cro, players of Germany's class should (and IMO in top form, would) have made more of it.
Our defence was top notch,maybe only 1 mistake from 1 player in the entire game. Loew hit the jackpot with Schweinsteiger sub,they became much more dangerous after that and could have almost equalized. But we also missed at least 3 100% chances before they scored that comfort goal. Im not carried away,dont worry,altho its total madness here now,but I do know they have to prove that game against germany was not only a "flash" that will shutdown quickly. They played like that thru out entire qualifications, we will see against Poland where we really stand,cause we always play best with strongest teams which are considered favorites. Im only glad they managed to play so good and rise from the ashes after TONS of criticism in our media which crapped all over our team after Austria game. They especially picked on Pranjic and said he shouldnt even be playing,and now everyone is congratulating him,even Capello is thrilled with him. Two faced pricks... a player should have support when hes not having a good day too.It took some heavy ballz and strong mentality to play a game like that after so much negative critisicm.
Also, you're lucky to have a player like Modrić, he's pure class.
Yep,but there are more like him. IMO he is missing only one thing to get to the Kaka/Ronaldo class,and that is a powerful and accurate shot.
But lets forget this game and move on,concentrate on those dutch fckers cause they really seem unstoppable atm.
what a great game holland-france!
actually holland deserve to win the eu.
Over our dead body
Oranje have great play, but we will see what will happened in finals:
Croatia vs Netherlands
Since then see you.
lmao HOLLAND-portugal final
I'm hoping for the same thing with NL. I think they will rest some of their key players in the game vs RO because they are already qualified, so this should be in our advantage. We can beat them, same as we did in the qualifying group stage, but it's gonna be much tougher now.
It amazes me how Netherlands just totally changed from. In the qualifiers they didnt play so good, not even in their last friendlies but now they just exploded
My football knowledge is limited to non-existent but damn Netherlands play great football. How organized and quick and efficient their counterattack is, AWESOME.
From what i've seen so far i guess finale will be port-netherlands but the ball rolls funny for everyone.
Croatia vs any Country is tough for their oppoenent since Croatia has so much more to prove then playing good football. What I know from the people incroatia that I meet for business is that everything they do is based on recovering from recent past terrors, building its image, be proud, show independency and prove that they should be taken seriously...and they are right! Beautiful country, nice people and a spirit that overrules any football tactic
...that's all from your reporter in Holland
