    Italy even tho they are thru, now they will be without Pirlo and Gatusso.. two more big players the Azzurri will miss.

    to be fair the dutch didnt play that well, but romania didnt play at all. nothing. they acted like they had nothing to play for. we dont deserve to move forward. pure spectators. if the dutch were in our position, it would have been a quick 5-0
    fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

    i liked them interviewing gullit after the game. the wonderful trio... what memories (when i lived in romania, steaua won the champions cup in 86, then lost in the semis in 88, and then in 89 we lost the final to ac milan - gullit and van basten each scored 2 goals - a team of italians and 3 dutch players; and in 88 the euro wins).

    btw lol at gullit saying he used to look like a pornstar and he hopes marco van basten didnt make a mistake by beating romania and allowing italy back in. i would lmao if italy and the netherlands play again in the semis and italy beats them.

    I do not believe it will happen but I wish Romania wins and Italy and France can't pass the group rounds so they can't come back as our opponent later in the tournament. What I have seen from Holland so far was from another world and in this shape, each team in the tournament will have a very hard time beating them. I don't have the whole constellations in my head but I think we can't meet them before the Finals which is sooooo far away still. Also after the three Games we made so far I can't say that we would deserve it. I would take it nevertheless of course. But the best Games I saw so far were from other teams like Holland, France, Portugal or Turkey. Also Romania's 2nd Game was nice to watch.

    as predicted, the dutch kept only Boulahrouz and Engelaar in the squad, replacing even the venerable van der Sar:
    Stekelenburg - Boulahrouz, Heitinga, Bouma, De Cler - De Zeeuw, Engelaar - Van Persie, Afellay, Robben - Huntelaar

    even if Holland plays a weaker side, can Romania get past them?
    and what about Italy v France? I'm thinking 1-1 draw tbh

    looks like if Italy and France draw.. Romania can still go thru if they lose unless they get beat by more than 3 goals.. should be an interesting afternoon!
    yea, we got this. we can beat the dutch. remember, we beat them in the quallifiers, and its also in their best interest to lose

    yeah, Holland doesnt really have a "weaker" squad.. robben and van persie came off the bench last match and scored against les bleu, lol

    God we have to improve A LOT to have a chance against Portugal. So far the opening Game was our best one but if they do not show more in the quarter final this Thursday it will be hard to proceed....

    ^ lolololol

    Germany didnt impress at all. I thought they were all shaping up after the loss to the croats. Austrians didnt play as bad as I expected, they just couldnt finish. Ze Germans didnt play as well as I expected, they just couldnt finish.

    hahaha, quality from soccernet.com mact commentary

    "That's full time and Germany stagger through to the quarter finals but they'll need a huge improvement if they are to beat Portugal. As for Austria, thanks for being such great hosts, sorry you aren't a very good football side. See you next time..."

    zing!
