BRING IT ON!

"Group of Death"
3-0, 4-1

 

[Kimikal™]

great game, if Italy and France make a draw, we can even lose by 2 goals with Holland and still qualify with 2 pts.

Hell, that would probably be the first time in history.


I hope for a victory though, we can defeat them... score a goal, then play with 7 defenders.
Nah, really, Holland plays a good(I mean GOOD) football, but with a bit of luck, we can win against them, everything is possible.

Dear Holland
now kindly allow us to win by a narrow margin so you can send two of the important competitors in your quest for european glory home while we joyfully march to the quarters togeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetheeeeeeeeeeeeeer

foreeeeeeeeeeeeeveeeeeeeeeeeer

 

[Capela]

the name Group of Death is starting to make sense, netherlands are killing everything that moves in group c
very impressive performance and you're looking like the strongest candidate to win the euro

 

[Help?]

Absolutely phenomenal from Holland. They got to be the favourites. But i wouldn't get too excited that fast, everybody knew that Italy and France are old, slow and struggling big time. Its not that much of a surprise that Romania is second right now.

 

[celtic fc]

excellent stuff!

Take it easy on Romania, though. Knock those two bastards out of the tournament!!

 

[modena_10]

the dutch counter and finishing is absolutely out of this world.

the score is again misleading though. the dutch deserve the win but this game could or should have been 4-3 or 4-4.

just playing devils advocate here but this is early in the tournament and when they get down the road into the quarters and semis they will not be enjoying the luxuries of these counters and terrible finishing by opponents. both games this tourney, they should have realistically allowed 2-3 goals per game. whatever team meets them in the quarters or semis will most likely, by then, be in their top form.

that being said, go dutch, if italy fail in their quest at these euros, then i really hope the dutch win.

edit: oh and i thoroughly believe that the 2nd team dutch squad will easily beat romania the way they are playing. plus, robben, van persie will get 45 mins

 

[Filipower]

you're right, I actually think one of the if not the most influential dutch player in both games was Van der Sar.

dont worry i can see italy getting a tie with france

 

[Num Lock]

what the ****!!!!!

i'm drowning my sorrows as they say.

first i'd like to say something i've said a couple years ago, Domenech is the ****tiest coach there ever existed in this sport we love called football

now to my first impression

WHY IN THE HELL DID WE BRING PAT WHEN HE HASN'T PLAYED A SINGLE ******* MINUTE OF THE EURO?????

WHY DO WE PLAY WITH 2 HOLDING MIDS WHEN WE NEED TO WIN????

I'M I THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SEE THIS?

IS THERE NO ONE WHO CAN SAY, HEY DUMBENECH, HEY RAYMONDO, WE NEED TO WIN, WE'RE NOT ITALY, CAN WE PLAY TO WIN????, DROP THE 2 HOLDING MIDS BULL****, AND LET'S PLAY SOME OF THE FOOTBALL THAT WE HAVE PLAYED THROUGHOUT OUR BEUTIFUL FOOTBALL HISTORY PLEASE

PS FOR NOW: **** YOU DOMENECH YOU KILLED OUR FOOTBALL

 

[Filipower]

On a side note, Gomis simply doesn't know what football is.

 

[Num Lock]

you can tack that to Domenech the ****ties coach in our history

 

[Internazionale]

great football display by the Netherlands !

Van Basten is genius.

 

[Num Lock]

i simply hate Domenech

 

[Num Lock]

RVN doing roulettes in midfield.....


in the days of Petit, Deschamps, Vieira, RVN would've been broken in half for that, but NOOOOO, we have Toulalan and Tutu and Gallas watching....


poor Make it broke my heart to see him doing runs forward.


edit: besides Make i see no pride in wearing le maillot bleue

 

[RobbieD_PL]

Domenech is a tool. Why bring players like Nasri and Benzema if you're not going to use them?

RVN devait la faire par 2 ou 3 fois

Heureusement, tu n'es pas le seul qui voit le besoin de fare une changement!

 

[Num Lock]

i stick to my views, i rather lose playing our football, instead of this travesty that Domenech makes us play. two holding mids when we need to win, there's no excuses

 

[RobbieD_PL]

Exactement, There's no point defending with more than half your team if you're losing.

 

[MaestroZidane]

Some harsh words against Domenech, but I do agree. I seriously don't get why he is still the French NT coach. He barely got you into the Euro's, and for what?? To get eliminated as if you guys didn't have any talent! Sure, you guys are still capable of advancing, but for the future of your beloved French team, I feel it would be better to get knocked out so they can get rid of him already..
