The_Rev Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Obviously Netherlands vs Germany is always a big game (just ask Anne Frank) but if you take away the politics then I think Netherlands vs whoever loses tonight is the big one. I think Germany & Portugal will both fancy it against that Dutch back four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted June 9, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 9, 2012 That was Ruud Gullit, though he never actually delivered. I'm talking the swashbuckling side that were there during Keegan's last days. So much attacking talent that fitting them all into the team would unbalance it though you would fancy them to score every time they go forwards, yet so shaky at the back that you fear they will concede every time the opposition get within 30 yards of their goal. Extremely entertaining to watch but you know they will probably never win anything.I'd take a season or two of that at Villa though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Quite fancy Denmark to get a point though. Their not exactly bad going forward and most of the Dutch defence is going to be either inexperienced or slow. Well, I was a third right then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some cheap dig about non-German nationals I did have to use some self restraint to not make a joke about that. Though I think they've over 20 German-born players in the squad anyway.

Oh I know it was just too easy a jab to make. Well... that was a pretty naff half of football. 0-0 anyone? The Portuguese really aren't looking that good, and the Germans aren't really looking particular amazing either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The rest of them were born before unification, so they are from East or West Germany, except for Podolski and Klose who are Polish ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 The country or the football team? Team, and pretty much all portugese club teams. Never enjoy watching them. The country is quite nice. Only been south though. Good sea food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much how Downing is able to cut inside defenders so often. Awfully predictable and yet opposition players let them do it so easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
