Euro 2012 - Match discussion thread

Ah Gomez is world class.

Huntelaar is seething. The Dutch have given up it seem. This could be epic.

Two smashing passes from Schweini too.

Two holding midfielders and Bastian is allowed the freedom of the stadium. Van Bommel is a fraud.

Are Holland definitely out if they lose as the lads on RTE seem to be making out. Surely if they beat Portugal and Germany beat Denmark the others would all be on three points. What does it come down to then?

Have Germany, Russia, Spain and France to win groups at 19/1, not looking too bad now, and money back with Powers if one lets you down.

Actually, maybe it was.

RVP has to go off. The left back is being dismantled all game too .

This could be anything. Holland losing discipline now.

It was PaddyPower. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuVG9Orn2mQ 22 in.

The only way the Dutch can save face now, is to mangle a few Germans in the second half.

Paddy Power :lol:

Double substitute Huntelaar and Van Der Vart on.

The Germans play a lovely style of football. :clap:

Seems strange that Afellay starts ahead of their other attacking options, especially with him having missed the entire season.

Agree with Totti regarding Van Persie. Think he’s quite a way short of elite level and made that point to Clarkey on Saturday. Clarkey laughed.

You’d expect the Dutch to be more solid and compact with De Jong and Van Bommel in midfield but the Germans are playing it around them easily.

How. Easy. Was. That.

Parting of the orange sea there. Shocking from the dutch…

More holes in this Dutch defence than in a slice of edam. :guns:

Could have been interesting had that gone in.

Who’s going to get sent off first for the Dutch? Heitinga? de Jong? Huntelaar?

To be fair to the Dutch duo there is only so much covering you can do for the clowns playing behind them. The two full backs have been shocking.

Van Persie brutal for the second tournament in a row. Robben is badly out of form too.

Ozil much improved tonight

That anecdote from Canning was the driest bit of commentary I’ve ever heard. It’s possible Houghton has just left the studio in protest

Where is the Dutch urgency here?

Is there a bigger bottler of a soft cunt in world sport than Robben?
