sup /sp/I assume most of you have seen the Netherlands 3-0 victory over Italy monday. If not, go watch it.That match was the perfect example of why I like football. The Netherlands played fast, brilliant football. Turning defence into offence perfectly and making use of every opportunity.The game also had a great referee and assistant referee. Plus the moment Van Nistelrooij kept walking after Buffon nearly hit him was a sign of perfect sportmanship, since a penalty would've definetly been given had he fallen to ground.The game was in contrast to the first five matches of the tournament, which all sucked. And I hope to see more of this kind of football in the tournament.
LOLLAND LOLLAND LOLLAND LOLLAND
>>151178This man speaks the truth.>>151213This man is a butthurt Britfag.
>>151178I agree with you except the last part, Germany and Portugal games were very entertaining.
As a butthurt Italfag I can at least admit the truth--Holland played better and deserved to win. This game and Spain's are the best performances of the tournament so far.
>>151178I thought the same.
Bronckhorst should be the man of the match.
Best matches of the Euro 2008 so far4. Spain vs. Russia3. Germany vs Poland2. Holland vs Italy1. USA vs Argentina
Spain v Russia was betterlalalalalalaArshavin ftw btw
>>151341Spain vs Russia better? Are you fucking kidding me? Spain played pretty well but Russia fucking sucked. Holland won because they just played very well, Spain won because Russia played terrible.
>>151333AMERICA FUCK YEAH!
>>151350Russia hit the post; had good chances.NOT TO MENTION THEY SCOREDIf Arshavin hadnt got himself suspended they would have given Spain a good run for their moneys5 goals in a match... yeh it was fucking terrible wasn't it.
>>151350Anyone who thinks Russia played terrible, is an idiot. They were good, but Spain was by far the best team so far in the tournament. Russia could win 5-0 against England the way they played that game.
>>151354Russia could win 5-0 against England the way they played that game.that doesn't really mean much. anyone can do that these days
>>151357WutEngland could easily beat Spain, Holand, Germany and win this tournamentIts just those damned pesky Croatians >.<
>>151357If USA played against England as well has we played against Argentina we could've done it aswell.
>>151360>Its just those damned pesky Croatians >.<And the MacedoniansAnd the IsraelitesAnd the RussiansThey lost or tied every one in their group except for Andorra who only scored 2 goals and had 42 scored against them and Estonia who only beat Andorra.
>>151360Oh really? That's why they couldn't even beat Croatia? Go back to having your head up your ass, UKFag. Your National Team is a joke, and your league is composed of entirely foreign players.
>>151367Thats ancient history. I thought we were talking about now? Only reason we played poorly then was because Gerrard and Barry weren't in the centre for us.>Tied>DrewFix'd
The best team in the Premiership is one of the teams with the most English players.
>>151373Aston Villa? ¬.¬
>>151352Russia indeed scored and the last 15 minutes of the game were the only minutes that really impressed me. A lot of pressure from Spain which eventually turned into a lot of pressure from Russia which in the last couple of minutes turned into Spanish pressure again.>>151354So I guess you're calling Guus Hiddink an idiot then. Even he said that they made mistakes that even a school team wouldnt be allowed to make.
>>151354whaaat hahaharussia was fucking terrible!
>>151354*facepalm*
Post the Van Bronkhorst cardcrusher plox.
>>151354Russia had no defence and they easily loose the ball
>>151507
>>151178Holland better get to the finals. Then they better face Portugal. Then Portugal better dive and foul and cheat and win the tournament.That way it will show the world that beautiful football is no match for diving and crying your way to the finish line.
>>152550obviously didn't see the world cup game.i don't know who dived the most if the netherfags or the portufags.
>>152550Portugal probably won't make it to the final, they have a good team but when it comes to goalkeeping...LOL Ricardo.

>>152573Now saging.
>>152550Portugal may be a bunch of fancy pants divers and babies, but so far they've actually played some pretty great football. I'd take their brand of faggotry over what the Italians call football anyday.Holland vs. Portugal vs. Spain (pick two) is what I'm hoping for finals wise.
>>152575Netherlands vs Spain is an impossible final. They are doomed to face each other before. lrn2competition:Team from Group A or B - Team from Group C or D
Hopefully the dutch won't try to take out Portugal's key players in the first few minutes again if both make it to the final.
>>153489Hopefully the Portugese wont dive they're way to the final just to dive their way through the final.
>>153491>they're way>theirThey're, their, there...
