    In WC '02 Italy, France, and Argentina were the experts picks. Huh! The most exciting games, for me, were played by Turkey, So Corea and Senegal. Brasil barely qualified for the Tourn. I also enjoyed watching Ireland and Mexico. I guess one must have rankings but rankings do not allow for rivalries or passion. If Germany were ranked 1st and Holland 50th I doubt if anyone here would concede the match.

    All Holland needs is a couple of Johans, a Ruud,(the other one) a Marco, and a Frank.

    It ain't over til the Fat Lady sings !

    Exactly! :)
    Think positive! And why not? Fate of Holland depends basicly on the AJAX Amsterdam players; to be more precize....... Tomas GALASEK and Zdenek GRYGERA!!! :D (Defenders from the Czech Republic!)
    When they do their job right: Germany can shake it, against them.
    All we have to do is draw -at least- against Latvia....:eek::D

    Come on you Czechs !! ;)

    For anyone interested (especially our Canadian followers) or the Dutch masochists among us :p here's a nice link to BBC SPORT; where one can see VIRTUAL REPLAY of the key-moments of the Holland - Czhech Rep. game!

    aaaarrrggggghhhhh!!! :eek::D

    Regards,

    There you go- the first impression of 'the state of the Kingdom', the day after the night before: Obviously there is anger, but even more astonishment about what already only needs to be reffered to as "the Substitution"
    This scoffing attachment below I received half an hour ago - I think it says it all. Most of you know where it comes from; the worldfamous tv show "Who-Wants-To-Be-A-Millionair". In this case: How NOT to become one....:mad:
    Thank you, Dick! :rolleyes::mad:

    Translated:
    "Your leftwinger is playing the game of his lifetime and is constantly dangerous. Mainly thanks to him your team is leading 2-1. What's your move?"

    A. You replace him for a slow defender
    B. You keep him on the pitch and your team wins 4-1.
    C. You replace him for Marc Overmars (also a leftwing striker-sjva)
    D. You replace him as soon as HE is signalling he's tired.

    (For the ones who overlook...:rolleyes:... actually 3 possible good answers to win!)


    ..... OMG     what a buffoon! :mad:


    :D:D:D

    cheers fellow patriots
    slammer

    p.s. for you english-speaking: Advocaats' first name honestly is: D I C K
    No offense meant (but how suiting now..:D)

    I won't pretend to understand the system but i have one question. ;)

    Why does Dick Advocaat insist on going back to the 4-4-2 when it is not necessary. o_O

    Is this the way he thinks it should always be done? :doubt:

    Actually 2 questions... :p

    Sigh...
    why oh why oh why oh why? That's a good one!

    You ask the wrong person, Snowbound.
    (Actually I don't see you can find any fellow Dutch countryman who will have the answer for that one for last night..)

    But okay, let's keep it simple - and now I will put myself on "dangerous ground" with my fellow Dutchies hehehe;)

    It is because he is not from the AJAX-school !
    Total Football = attack + wingplayers
    Be cocky - force your will upon the opponent!
    All!     (or nothing.. but then you fought for it)

    (and thus D.A. is 'coward'...:rolleyes:)

    regards,

    Thank u Slammer for clearing that up for me. ;) :D

    Sounds like Ajax is the only way. :p ;) :D

    D.A. will need answers for his questionable tactics. Especially if the Dutchies don't go through. :eek:

    I will not pretend that it IS the only way.
    But to me it seems like it - pure for entertainment reasons alone I would plead for it :D:cool:

    So.. and now I think it is wise for me to put an end on this (HOL-CSE) topic
    -enough narrow-minded shouting, crying & cursing done.
    Tough but true: Yesterdays news...

    Let's take some breath, put some beers in the fridge, and let's move on;

    Another clash about to start in little than 1.5 hours:

    Let's all enjoy PORTUGAL vs SPAIN !!!

    Everything stand by in the fridge. Will be a great match between the two neighbours. No idea where it will end. I think it will be 1-2 and a lot of yellow cards.
    Have fun........:D

    Agree on the last part: plenty of yellows & red(s) , I presume.
    (hm... mix those two and you get .....
    .omg I'm really addicted now...:D)
    Fairplay please......................................................................................:doubt:

    To repeat my outrageous forecast: 3-3

    Good thing there's a scandinavian referee tonight (Anders Frisk-SWE)
    But still... homecountries always get a little push....

    We'll see! OLÉ

    slam:ninja:

    P.S. @ bigEd: Sure hope you are psychic; i've got Morientes
    in one of my teams/poules/bets.... could use the points! GO Morientes, GO Couto, GO Puyol, GO Deco ;)

    *Portugese look a bit more agressive
    ...but: will Spain eventually take advantage of these Potuguese, losing stamina...?

    EURO 2004
    Todays features: 3rd and last group matches GROUP A

    Half Time:

    Portugal vs. Spain 0-0

    Portugal raging on the frontline ; Spain looking for the counterattack; in no hurry at all - with this as the final result they will be qualified. Great chance (mighty header;just wide) for Cristiano Ronaldo (POR) just before halftime.

    Russia vs. Greece 2-1

    Greeks are now with one foot in quarterfinal...
    43rd minute goal by Vryzas.
    Portugal out of it
    If it stays like this....
