juffery 0 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Should be a belter, I've got my money on Italy. Think Toni will be one of the stars of the tournament! First 4 games haven't been that great but not too bad. Best team have probably been Germany so far, Portugal were like getting a blowie with a johnny on. You'll get there in the end, it's alright, but you know it could've been better! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlock 0 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I'll say 2-1 to the Dutch. Italy are going to miss Cannevaro ! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Someone on here asked me who i would would replace Fergie with. I said then Orlando Engelaar. At that time he was not an international and we could have got him for a couple of million. Now he will probably be going to Schalke. What a difference he has made to the Dutch team. He is always available for a pass and lets the other players play. Van Bronkhorst was MOTM but Engelaar was the unsung hero. The Dutch were Fantastic. Walter get in for Khalid Boulahrouz even on a years loan. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Engelaar was outstanding but then so was the entire team. If they can manage to get through the tournament without falling out (I wouldn't put money on it) they have to be in with a chance. Best performance so far. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 919 Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Only caught the 2nd half but good stuff by the Dutch. Couple of great saves from Van Der Saar just before the 3rd. It makes Italys next 2 games interesting - they will have to come out and attack. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Was at work so am absolutely gutted. Watched the bore draw beforehand so definitely lost out Still hoping it will be Holland or Spains' turn this year. France don't deserve to be there imo an I hate the Italians and Germans 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Engelaar was very good last night, although entirely different player to Fergie imo Pete. Got a nosebleed when going forward. There was one passage of play second half where if it had been a player more comfortable on the ball Holland might have scored another counter attacking goal. Engelaar would maybe compliment Fergie playing a deeper role in the middle in a 4-4-2. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
