It's weird, I never think of the Dutch as a dirty side, but they actually are

Was it them in a semi final or final recently in a tournament had the most yellow and red cards?

Euro 2012 final against Spain, I think. Their gameplan was based entirely on shithousery, and it failed miserably.

World Cup Final 2010 there was uproar at the way they were kicking Spanish players, I think one of them did a Gazza style boot to the chest at one stage

That's the one.
I remember the high boot. Like they went out to do as much damage as they could.

I hate it when teams play it into the corner like that

I remember Richie Partridge tried it for us years ago, but there were about 10 minutes left

Or if you're a pessimist like me, Germany have a nice easy run to the final now.

This has been thoroughly deserved even with the red card, no excuses for Holland

Prediction for tonight:

Portugal 1
Belgium 0

Czech came 3rd in the group and they’re now in the quarter finals.. bit like the champions league now where you can come nowhere near the top of your league but still end up have a shot at winning the whole thing

I think Belgium should win, I think Portugal are a poor team in reality.

Whether that happens though

Just thought that on the replay.

An England player misses that and they'll bring back public executions for them.

For the quality on paper, for both sides in the next game. I think the game just now will be the better of the two. Expecting a snooze fest.

Portugal scraped through the group stages in 3rd with 3 draws last time and won it..... don't think they won a game in normal time until the semi final.

No I’d say Croatia were a tougher matchup than Czech Republic

But that is what I meant about luck- 2 tournaments in a row with things mapping out nicely for us
Click to expand...

We won a group people were arguing would be best had we finished second on the assumption we’d have an easy Round of 16 tie.

Had we won our group in 2010, we’d have had a real chance of reaching the final, or at least the semis. But, we didn’t. It was a similar story in 2002 apparently.

We just need to keep getting the job done against teams.
