Incredible match and felt for Australia as they absolutely gave their all. Netherlands have such quality hard to contain, why I picked them to win it all.


I still think it's way too early to bet on the Dutch. We just saw that even Austrialia can take them on. They have started tournaments like crazy beasts only to completely lose steam and get eliminated ridiculously early way too many times to really get excited about them. Let's wait and see. This is a tournament, it's still almost a month. I'm gonna repeat - the team that wins a tournament is the one that grows the most during the tournament, not the one that gets out of the gates first.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

This. At the Euro 2008, we beat Italy (World Champion) 3-0, France (Runner-up) 4-1 and Romania (they beat us in the qualification) 2-0. Then in the quarter finals we went out against Russia 3-1 after extra time.

That penalty brings the amount of bullshit decisions to what now? I lost count.

9?

Definitely not. Last time I mentioned the total it was seven and the Germany vs. Portugal game added two more, so we are at the very least in the double digits by now.

Yeah then I lost count too . Needless to say, it's bad.

Too late, I bet on them before th eopening ceremony. One of these years I will be right about them!

Well, at least the faith in the Netherlands is more grounded in reality than Franz Beckenbauer's prophecy that by 2010 we are going to have an African World Cup winner (he said that in the early '90s).

I will always believe in my cousins! :D

Hup Holland hup!
