If Netherlands meets Spain or Portugal, Netherlands will get smacked down, bigtime.
Holland has been great this championship, but so has Spain and Portugal. And Spain houses the leading best players of the world.
Ronaldo vs Nistelroy? Clear victory to the portoguese, I'd say.
Germany isn't going to win this year. They miss their best player (His first name starts with a O and his last name with a K)
??? Van, Do you like soccer or not AND do you no much about it or not.???Come on Doffen!!! The time Spain was great is over. I didn't think they were playing like fire. I won't say Holland is going to win but I will not dare to say they aren't. Everybody thought Italy would smack Holland down. Owww....France will do it for sure. But neither of them smacked them down. I dare to say Portugal will not smack them down so easily. I won't be surprised if they (Portugal) will win after penalties time. But now you sound like "Happy for you but the party is over".............I used to think the same and I hoped the same because I hate football but it all went differently. And what if Portugal win? I'm not going to cry.
I agree. nothing is impossible. Even Switserland could have won this cup. At a low chance apparently . I love Switserland. I missed all the matches thoug. Too bad.I do agree that our teamwork is very good. And we do have Arjen Robben who managed to score a very good goal last game, and van Persie, quick and fabulous
But we'll see, i'm not saying that we will actually beat Spain and/or Portugal, but i'm not saying it's impossible either. We'll just see.

Moreover, Football is a team sport. You won't win with individuals. Individuals are good, but their ego's can keep them from winning. Five great players, is great, but if the other six are bad, you'll lose (I think). If a team wins it is not only about Torress, Alonso, Villa, Casillas and Reina, it is also about the other players.
Example: Without the other players Kuyt (lol there's the name again ) wouldn't heve been able the headbut (is that the english word) the ball into the goal. And without van der Sar and our defenders we would have made 4 goals, but France would have been free to make 10 goals against us. A great individual player is nothing without at least a medium team.
I was impressed to see that just based on the standings (win loss and goal differential), Netherlands is doing the best so far! That's impressive, and they seem to be in a very tough group don't they?
But does anyone else want to see them draw or lose to Romania just so France and Italy could both be eliminated? The Netherlands lose nothing by doing so (they will still win their group even if they lose to Romania) and they would eliminate Italy and France in the process.
Doffen, is Spain supposed to be the favourite this year? I can't even remember how they did in the last world cup, do you recall how they finished?
ballack scored!!! yeaaaaaaaah!!!
(finally, though, it's been a very boring game)
well i'd rather one of them played badly then something would be happening...
and the thing about the trainers... why did he do that??? i don't get that... funny, though ^^
oh, and offside...
Not that we notice anything of living under the sea level, but what does it matter anywayI was seriously amazed when Holland took out Italy. That was fun. And of course they're a rough bunch.. You have to if you're living under the sea level
