In what I am hoping stays a close match… lets have a little game…
Your predictions; and if you’re wrong , your forfit (to be done at DubDope) shall be decided as such. The person with the closest score shall decide the forfits for all the rest of the participants.
My prediction: Ireland 2 - 1 Holland
C’mon Ireland, lets show those funny shoe wearing, cheese eating dyke-plugging moribund tram riders a thing or two!!
I’ll be damned if I let either of you feckers decide on a forfeit for me: I’m just posting for an excuse to use the racist epithet ‘spud-shaggers’.
Would this be the wrong place to ask when and where this match is taking place?

I have to say it is going to be a close match and I honestly can’t predict! I want Ireland to win naturally, but with the Cunningham/Keane etc. problems, I don’t know. On balance the Dutch have their problems too with injuries. I can’t wait to watch it!
Sure, they’ll outdrink Bergkamp - but he retired from the national team! The rest drink pretty good. They’re just smart enough not to dance drunk on the bonnet of a car belonging to a police woman
My prediction is Holland 3, Ireland 0.
Sure, we’re fielding a glorified B-Team. But this is Amsterdam, and this is a team looking for a good result. Plus, all the new names might help the esprit of it all.
Ruadh, I don’t like Konterman either
I’m sure Amsterdam will be one big party either way tomorrow night: the Dutch and the Irish always party after a game. No matter what the score is.
Well, 2-2 after Ireland took a 2-0 lead…guess nobody made the right prediction (I certainly didn’t, after cheating by making two predictions). So it’s a rollover SDMB jackpot for the return leg. What would be a suitable prize–perhaps a crate of Guinness and a crate of Oranjeboom?
And let me profess sympathy to ruadh…she must have been all set to start dancing on cars after the Quinn goal…
Congrats, you Guinness slurpin’, bonnet dancin’, weird talkin’ Green Bastards
Ireland was better the first half, Holland was better the second. The 2-0 was Kontermans fault: credit to ruadh
Van Bronckhorst made a beauty… even if it WAS deflected! And the Irish attack that produced the 1-0 was a textbook example of how it’s done. Beautiful.
I suppose the Irish would have been happy to draw against Holland beforehand, but it must be teriible to lose a 2-0 lead.
Return Leg
p.s. Konterman and Seedorf will sleep with the fishes in the Rotterdam harbour very soon, if it’s up to me.
