As a warming up to the upcoming Euro 2008 Austria / Switzerland

[Cid Highwind]

Well, I was just reminded by this amazing thing, a dutch commentator seriously losing it because of a goal.

That was the goal that put is in the lead 2-1 against Argentina, and we went through to the semi-finals I believe, only to get beaten in Penalty kicks by Brazil, because the friggin Ref didn't give us that penalty near the end that we clearly deserved after such a foul.

WC 98 was probably my fav one of all, I loved it so much, I can't wait for Euro 2008 and see what's going to happen! 10 years in between! It means something

Good luck to all countries, but we all know England is going to fail

I always loved Dennis Bergkamp, he is a Legend, just like Marco van Basten.

Marco, you are my heroe, no one else will ever reach what you did. You are the true legend. Only Johan Cruijff can match your skills.

England didn't even make it. Even if they did we , Portugal, would beat them in the quarterfinals in penalty kicks like we've done the past 2 times.

We didn't even qualify cos Steve McLaren is one of the most clueless, useless managers ever...

[Cid Highwind]

haha yeah I heard, I mean England not in a Cup? Has that even ever happened before?
That sucks bigtime, makes it a little less special I guess

[The Genie]

Ya, England was sadly, but true, beaten in the qualifiers by Russia. It seems that Russia has a Dutch coach. Leo Beenhakker, the guy that chops legs for breakfast. lol

[Jack]

Croatia actually. Not Russia

[The Genie]

Ouch, are you sure ? I believe Russia ended 2nd place on the last round of the qualifiers, leaving England with empty hands ? Maybe I was playing too much Tennis !

How could England ever lose from Croatia! Holland wiped their asses with 5-0 last year in a friendly.

[Jack]

Ah, I thought you meant the last game, not the table. Croatia beat us 3-2 which allowed Russia to take 2nd.

[Cid Highwind]

It's all about the tables in the end

[DayleJ]

this summer is gonna be pretty damn dire for english fans i'm going with the Mars adverts and go and have a kickabout down the park instead! lol

[The Genie]

I thought let's keep this thread a little bit active, I love Ronald Koeman, keeping the Dutch spirit alive!

England brought it on themselves, they have so many foreign players in their expensive clubs that when it comes to actually defending their own country with their own home grown players they can't seem to do ****
