[Nick]

Anybody have that result in the prediction league???

I nearly predicted that result Nick, but had a change of mind.......

I had Spain to win 2-1. Want England to attack Italy in the same way,just go for it and who knows we could bang in a few too.

 

[Houchens Head]

I had Spain at 2 - 1 as well. Couldn't believe what I was watching! Robben was awsome!

I went to Amsterdam to watch the final four years ago and it was fantastic, right up to the point where Spain scored. Sounds like they're making up for it over there now.

Holland played really well,but every tournament I can remember the teams that do well and really impress early never go all the way,infact it's the teams that start poorly that usually go on to win the cup

Robben was on fire.I hate the way he dives though but he never did that tonight.I honestly believe though we have got the players to attack the Italians,we need to just get at them !

What a fantastic 2nd half.... :claping hands:

 

[Rob S]

Heheh! It is indeed going off in Amsterdam...

 

[turlykerd]

I really enjoyed that game .... I've enjoyed all the games so far but that was awesome...... Just hope England play with the same mentality

Everything after that game will be an anti-climax for me now.

Still, we had our moment of glory.

You ain't popped your clogs yet !

 

[ccfcway]

Nick, surely we can have a "world cup" thread on the main board during the summer ?

 

[dutchman]

You ain't popped your clogs yet !

If I die tonight having watched that game, I'll die a happy Dutchman!

The Dutch looked really good in the second half. On the surface you might expect that but when you look at their squad they don't look as strong as previous years. They have three huge stars, but what have they got beyond RvP, Sneijder and Robben? A couple of Swansea players, a Norwich player and, God help them, a Villa player...

Spain looked spent, and for me missed an all action player like Poyal to rally the troops.

They did look shell shocked at the end of the game, but they have got enough strength in depth to allow del Bosque to shake things up. Changing keepers for example seems a no brainer. It was surprising Casillas started ahead of de Gea yesterday given their contrasting seasons.

Agreed, casillas has hardly played this season, playing on in the cups do was surprised he started ahead of those playing week in week out.

Also both Alonso and xavi are getting on a bit, as class as they are I'm not sure you can relying on two aging players. You then add it to the fact xavi and Iniesta (amongst others) have played c60 games this season.
