(((Netherlands)))

Yeah but this still had better football.

I'd have put Poland - Russia above it on that score.

Denmark deserve credit,gave a good account of themselves,unlucky to be in a tough group,Holland though

Nah, they deserve to be out.

 

[Badgers]

Nah, they deserve to be out.

Well yeah. But they 'may' yet get the wooden spoon? That is a cruel result for a (once?) great footballing nation.

Cruel/hilarious - who are we to judge?

 

[Balbi]

The whole 'England are shit' thing doesn't look so bad compared to Russia and the Nederlands now. I mean, we'll still probably massively fuck up against Ukraine and go out - but at least we managed to get points

They were in a tough group. I think Ireland have the wooden spoon sewn up.

 

[JimW]

Van Persie put in a shift of sorts without acting a prick, but the rest were anonymous or you noticed them for diving or niggling more than the football. I made the 'shower of cunts' dig above after that crap Robben dive followed by his mate shoving the Port player off the ball to take the undeserved free kick and getting himself a card. Seemed to sum up their performance and attitude.

 

[Gingerman]

I thought Portugal might flop in this group, but the Dutch proved me wrong.Portugal needed a play-off to get to Euro 2012,Holland breezed through their qualifying group.

Ireland may yet loose their wooden spoon to Holland if they score a goal against Italy.

Pourtugal are looking pretty good now ronaldo has started playing. I would have thought they will get past the pretty average Czech's and could then face Spain (or you never know - England!) in the semis.

 

[revol68]

I thought Sneijder was the only dutch player that looked good.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Portugal played really well, I thought. Made the Dutch look very ordinary.

I would tip them to go far, but the last team I did that for were Russia.

Ooh, could you put in a word for Ukraine then?
