European soccer Championship (Page 1 of 6)

Blah blah blah......not bitter at all!!!!!!!!

Was going to boycott this tournament due to our absence but this is a good game to be honest.

The Dutch are playing well, deserve the 2-0 lead. Italy are an ageing side, and I can't see them getting far. I'd have a little bet on a Netherlands-Germany final!!

Thanks Eva and the Dutch National Soccer Team !!!!!!

It was a very good game and it was a deserved win against the World Champion.

To be honest I bet the Italians would win with 2-1, so I was very surprised.

Eva you too congratulated with the German team. Maybe we play against eachother in the rest of the tournament.

A happy Andre Wittebroek.

( George for you too: Congratulations my friend)

Congratulations to our Dutch cousins. What a game indeed and what support. The stands were a sea of orange. The men in orange thoroughly deserved their win in what was undoubtedly looking the toughest group. The pressure is really on the French and Italians now.

As I'm still employed by that Dutch bank that was recently taken over by a certain Scottish bank I feel some empathy with our cousins from the low country. As our own boys aren't up to the job, I will continue to cheer on the Dutch team from the UK.

As the headline in The Times says this morning "Ruud awakening for world champions as Holland turn on the style". It certainly was, and a wake up call for the French.

What fun!!! George filled me in on the history, so I felt excited to see Holland beat Italy after 30 years. I can't say I understand all the rules, points and scoring, but I do know what it's like to have a team that never wins (Fill in any Baltimore team name). Cathy

Wow, a football thread here - and not started by me! What a great performance by the Dutch yesterday!!!

I reckon it was Cathy bringing me luck that did it...but it was very weird watching a game in those particular surroundings. Several people 'congratulated' me at the airport as I was still wearing my bright orange Holland shirt, which was nice.

Spain thrashing Russia 3-0 as I type.

Come on Geoff - take it like a man!

Geko.. I like all witch countries!!!...wink, wink, nod, nod.....My biggest complaint is the clock. I am used to knowing how much time is left in the game without doing subtraction!! We count DOWN..not UP!!  Then they went into 90+ and I was really lost.... George and I went to an Italian bar in the mall, but alas...there was nobody to taunt!   4-3-2-1-Cathy

I didn´t say football - I used the term "soccer" thinking of you Americans, who would understand American Football of course and molest this poor little thread with the latest results from your NFLs or whatever .
