Holland v Slovakia

[Lo Siento.]

watching the Argentinians win with a couple of hundred of Argentinians rocking a Madrid Irish bar cheered me up immensely after the aftenoon's game.

Best antidote to depression is more football
qualifying
Holland had a pretty easy time of it in the group phase. Slovakia beat Italy, but managed to lose to Paraguay and draw with New Zealand.

Anyway, I thought 13-4 seemed long odds on a draw after 90 minutes, so I put a bet on. Which I'm now regretting...

After the poor result by England yesterday I'm rooting for Holland now.
Hup Holland Hup

Hollands my third team after Germany, but hope they do well.

well of course they should. But Slovakia should give them a game at least.

Oh well it was only 3€ ...

robben jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Boring so far. Netherlands by far the better side, but doing very little at the moment.

 

[Dandred]

Starting to get a bit better but have to agree quite boring really.

Slovakia starting to play better

 

[Diamond]

Italy must have been worse than they looked in that game against Slovakia.

 

[agricola]

It would serve the Dutch right if Slovakia equalize.

 

[Dandred]

Well that's that then 2 - 0

 

[Diamond]

Anyone else finding this team a bit flat compared to Euro 08 vintage?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Well that's that then 2 - 0

Whoops, flicked over to see if Murray was playing yet and completely forgot the game wasn't over

Boring, boring Holland

 

[Dandred]

Penalty !!

2 -1

 

[ramjamclub]

Holland maybe boring to watch for some but they get results!!!
Nice game, Slovakia made it boring by not trying!!

 

[twistedAM]

I was hoping for the Dutch to get to the final but i don't really care now and would probably be better if Germany get to beat Brazil instead.

 

[Lo Siento.]

well, Slovakia at least made my bet look respectable I suppose. Now A por ellos Chile.

 

[AKA pseudonym]

In a word that game was 'meh'

 

[stavros]

Van Bronkhorst looks a bit suspect. Do they have a younger version they can bring in?

Some of the stuff Sneijder does is gorgeous, although the commentators seemed to be having more of a collective wank over Robben.

 

[Silva]

If commentators are anything like the wankers here, since Sneijder never played in the Prem, he could NEVER be as good as Robben


I think some guys in the dutch bench were almost having a heart attack after the ref gave the penalty - that was almost a red card.
