tha 4th goal could hurt france on goal differential as their now in same boat as italy - 1 tie & 1 loss, -3 on goals.

[K.Dub]

Sneijder goal was unreal.

[Intriago33]

Sneijder has been unbelievable so far, easily player of the tournament at this moment 

[Lunatic]

^no doubt

wow, brilliant performance from holland yet again.

Wonderful attackung football, defending as a team and amazing counter attacking.

My only concern is they may have peaked too early and how they react when they go behind.

i mentioned that to a friend today - playing such good teams early has to take some steam out of u as well.

their defense is wack as oranje color

Damn Holland is on fire. France sucked, that coach is awful, they play with too much discipline (if that makes sense), they look so unrelaxed and their whole style of game is like, "we're gonna do our defense, all you forwards do what you can do, we don't care." Everything comes down to Henry's briliance or something like that, there's no organized actions. Same shit was happening to them on WC 2006 but they got lucky and qualified.

After already qualifying I am sure Van Basten will field the substitutes against Romania so the players can remain fresh for the next stage.

I always root for Italy, but I can't help but admire the Dutch so far. I know they're vulnerable in defence, someone just needs to test them. I would love to see this Holland team play Spain, that could be fireworks.

^i think a holland-spain semi match up is likely.

[Meho]

^^^Portugal are lucky as hell, who is their possible opponent in the semi finals ? Germany, Croatia ? Lol

LOL call it karma since we had a TOUGH route to the semi's at world cup (england) & holland while italy had Australia and Ukraine

well Germany is likely a match up for next round; if we get past that, semi opponent will be Croatia or Czech Republic (Turkey has an outside chance).
