Holland were playing the “wave arm vigorously in the air vaguely in the direction of the linesman” trap.
This Holland can’t beat Germany, nevermind winning the tournament.
I know that even with a loss there’s some mathematical way they can move on if Germany beat Denmark, and Holland beat Portugal big enough, but that is bs. At that pointy, just go home…
And again.
“auf widersehn” indeed
Holland to go out without scoring a goal, anyone? And plenty of people were tipping van Persie for the Golden Boot… (though the drop-cap on this page looks oddly prescient!)
Sneijder is half the Dutch team.
Well, that sucked. At least we scored a goal:rolleyes:. I can still see us go through, hopefully Germany will play the hungry reserves (Klose, Gotze, Kroos) and beat the Zimling-less Danes (his injury looked severe). Only thing needed is a two goal win over Portugal…:eek::rolleyes:
I really thought that was going to be 0-0. Fans of tedious stalemate are now heavily dependent on Group D to deliver the goods, but hang in there guys, the nil-nils will come.
The Red Fury putting on a display of their vaunted “tiqui-taca,” Ireland hardly getting a whiff of the ball. The current score, 2-0 flatters the Irish.
With the tie in the Italy-Croatia match, Spain looks good to go through.
PS–Good news for us – not sure they are good for the other teams. Torre’s finally appears to have gotten out of his funk. Just scored his second goal of the match…for a much more realistic 3-0 scoreline.
Vamos!
Iker Casillas should just go sit down on the bench. It’s not like his presence is even needed back there.
A game against the junior varsity always helps one’s confidence.
Don’t think we’ve won both, the last Euro & the World Cup playing against JV squads – but I could be wrong & both Holland and Germany belong in that group.
Quote from the commentators; “The Spanish are playing football, the Irish are singing”.
A lot of my friends thought that was brilliant, “sure aren’t our fans the greatest…”. Maybe its my Northern Irish slant, but fuck that, I hate losing.
I was really talking about Torres, not the team. That’s the first time he hasn’t looked completely at sea in a while.
For a giggle, go to Zonal Marking and check out the passing arrows for Spain vs. Ireland. I’m a bit disappointed my prediction of 900 passes to 100 passes didn’t happen.
True enough.

Swedes are attacking from the very word go. England watch out.
