Bollocks. So I'm basically counting on the Honduran 'keeper to keep a clean sheet against... Chile.

Sure, but past of the fun is sticking your neck out at the start and then making an arse of yourself!

On the basis of this performance I can't see the Dutch being much of a problem for NZ in the final. My 2 quid is looking good
LOL
My GF has New Zealand in her work sweepstake - which prompted her to look up their odds at the bookies, which were 2000-1 I believe!
She still thinks it's better value than playing the lottery
You'd be better off giving the quid to Camelot!!

would hardly say holland are underdogs, even though they havent won a WC before.
1.5 million Dutch took the afternoon off to watch the game.
The streets were deserted at 1.30.
Our street is full of Orange decorations, banners etc.
It was a better game than most I've seen up to now. The Danes dig bog the Dutch down but the 2nd half gave us some flashes of Dutch mastery. Sneider will be dangerous for any team. If Robben plays then they will probably make the last 8.

I couldn't beleive the sheer incompetence of the refereeing. If there was any consistency in refereeing, and if the rules of the game had been applied, the Dutch would have finioshed the game with 8 men.
Fair enough they are still able to show tremendous skill and flair, but that was a match that also showed the very worst of the occasional Dutch tendency to replace tackling with violent assault. They got away with it because of incompenet refereeing and a fairly stoical set of Danish players. The same sort of "tackling" from De Jong and co against Argentina or Uruguay is likely to lead to an on pitch riot.
Disappointing.
