Only one goal scored on them. Their defense sucks big floppy donkey dick and it is only dumb luck and shitty reffin that has made them look so impressive.

France got jew'd out even worse than Italy did.

How? At least Italy can claim that it was a bad offsides call which got the momentum going in Holland's favor.

France has no excuses: corner kick, breakaway by Robben, breakaway by Robben, strike by Sneijder.

Apparently by getting jew'd you mean being completely outplayed.

The Netherlands should have let Romania win just to screw Italy and France over.
Oh well.

They can claim all they want, but Van Nistelrooij's goal was onside.

Italy can complain about their onside goal against Romania that was ruled offside. But they probably dont care anymore, since they're through to the next round anyway.

I think you seriously underestimate the ability and drive of Italians to complain.

Well they can complain all they want, but the goal counted, counts and always will count.

Netherlands: 9
Italy, Romania, France: 1

Croatia also has only 1 goal scored on them.
Their attack is not that good, though.

Also..last time I checked..they were not in the same group as the WC Champion finalists.
So the situation is not to be compared. I want them to play against a capable football team before drawing any conclusions on their footballing skills.

Netherlands is full of fucking talent. I don't know why everyone is giving the credit to the refs. Fuck.

They beat Romania without 9 of their starters playing.

im sure dat was da ref's fault rofl

Mourinho said it clearly. The Holland played well becoz they always scored first, and afterward, proceeded to demolish the opposing teams with their counter-attacks.

But what would happen if they concede first?

I'm indifferent about Holland, but i hope they can keep up their form.

Their first goal in EURO 2008 that started their current form. Nuff said.

Maybe they should take a lesson from Italy and find out how to make a comeback.

Amerifag here and I am awe-struck by EURO 08. I try to watch football whenever(American football sucks dick).

Also, Holland scoring 9 goals in 3 games is amazing.

This. RvN, van Perrrrsie, Sneijder, Robben, Huntelaar, van der Vaart (and maybe Kuyt) can all score goals. But I'm mighty impressed their fuckfail defense held so well.

Spoiler: Their defense is only good cause they block shots with their arms. Also goalie is pretty good too.

Your entrance into the quarterfinals is all thanks to the team every Italian is whining about.

Italy played their ass off against Romania, only to tie. The Netherlands beat them with basically no starters.

Oops. :D

no one is whining about holland, most fans, me included, were thanking MVB yesterday and bowing down and sucking their orange dicks after the 3-0 raping. The whining was towards the referees in the first and second games. In the end it doesn't matter, so we celebrate France's failure

Holland peaked too early, they will choke, don't worry. Euro 2000 :D

Well, I'm cheering for Spain, but I'm rather impressed with the talent the Netherlands displays.

Also, fuck Italy.

Thats a ridiculous statement. Why doesnt every team just score first then? Because apparently, scoring is so easy.

>>166978

Not to mention they we're in an easier group.

The Netherlands
Italy
Romania
France

Croatia
Germany
Poland
Austria

Also, whats so awesome about the Netherlands is that our second team beat Romania 2-0. While Italy and France's first team, couldnt even beat them with one goal difference.

Except for the fact that everyone who missed a penalty then isn't there anymore. Infact, only Van der Sar and van Bronkhorst were actually at Euro 2000.

People to take their place are guys like Van Persie, Sneijder, Van der Vaart, Kuyt. Each one of them capable of taking penalties. *Kuyt scored 2 penalties against Everton, in the same fucking match*

Also, Van der Sar has been been the winrar of penalties ever since 2004.

I have no fear.

I saw the first half of the game last night on ESPN2, and I agree with this comment, Romania had plenty of open shots in the 18. Including one shot right at the end where a Romania player passed the ball BACK through the center of the box, missing one Romanian striker, only for the ball to find another open Romanian player. You'd expect someone in orange to be on post between points a, b and c.

I don't think I saw one actual shot on goal that stayed between the goal posts that half.
