Glad the Dutch are going home they have to be the most cynical, nasty team I've seen in the world cup this time leaving the boot in, diving, moaning...
The boy who hit Ronaldo in the first half should have been off straight away... Ref was crap as well lost any form of control in the game, made it fun in a bad way...

There is not a goalkeeper on this earth that would have saved that free kick I assure you. Inches inside the post furthest away from the keeper, he did well even getting the tip of his glove to it. End of.
The Dutch are so often blessed with great individuals but they have always been flawed from squad to squad. The problem with them is that every player has an ego bigger than the importance of the collective goal and infighting in the dressing room is par for the course with them. You could see it early on when one player takes a shot and is then berated by someone who thought he should have been passed to. Yeah anyone could be a little p*ssed at not receiving the pass, but it's the way the Dutch do it believe me. The Portugese have been a top side for a few years now and able to replace players with very good new one's. Very solid at the back and with a good handful of flair players. They are also not scared of giving a bit of rough stuff if needed either. That game was enthralling for so many reasons, it seemed that it was 3 hours long as there were so many incidents! One thing is for sure, there is a lot more value in buying a ticket to watch Portugal than there is to watch a Madonna concert in London! ![]() |

The Portugal-Holland game turned into a farce and ruined any chance for football.
Portugal next...hmmm... Ecuador were very poor and England will get a sterner test against Portugal. The goalkeeper was not at fault and it was just put in the right spot. My dough is still on the Germans...momentum building there and play as a team. |

Odd as it might seem, Germany have transformed themselves in to a side that play like a good England side does when on form. Where as, presently we are performing like the German teams of old who somehow always managed to get through.
I can't help feeling that we are going to be left with the feeling, " if only" we had delivered the kind of performance we are capable of? In the past we have risen to the challenge and failed but no one could question the effort applied. With Sven constantly pasting over the cracks due to injuries and formation conundrums, will the real England ever be allowed to be released in this tournament? Ah well at least we are still in it! :P |

I think England's performances have been very lacklustre against some poor opposition. I simply cannot believe that England can beat Portugal. They really have to improve by miles to even get a kick in that game. Portugese sending offs and yellow cards help though.
Germany V Argentina should be the game of the season. The Germans have been the most entertaining side. They have 2 excellent and understanding strikers in Podolski and Klose....Ballack passes the ball with pinpoint accuracy and plenty of width with Scwienstieger, Lahm and Schnieder. The defence looks weak and will let in plenty of goals too. Love the Oliver Kahn running joke. The guy always looks like his cheese has slid of his cracker ![]() |

Play like we have thus far and Basket could well be correct. However at long last we are playing a good team. A team that yes wants to prevent you from scoring, but they do not do it in a stifling manner.
I think,(read-hope) England will rise to the challenge and THIS could be one of the games of the tournament. ![]() |
