The Dutch scored 2? How slow is my TV?

Clearly I misread his post

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

De Jong , got a yellow card

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

It was De Jong who used to play for Man City

 

[Evo1883]

Well.. very professional job by the Czechs fair play .
And a very welcome result here in England, now we just need to beat the Germans and its fucking exciting times

 

[fernandopartridge]

The dutch are a really poor side, such a decline of a footballing nation

 

[COV]

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

 

[Frank Sidebottom]

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

Couldn't believe he didn't get sent off for it, it was ridiculous.

 

[Evo1883]

Be England all over to miss an open goal in the 90th and go out on pens Tuesday

 

[COV]

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

Prediction for tonight:

Portugal 1
Belgium 0

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

70% of all thrown in this tournament are blatant fowl throws

Refs are too chicken to give them.

 

[Evo1883]

Well the Dutch will always have one thing to celebrate, their women are fit .

So not all is lost

Or a wrongfully disallowed goal in the last min then lose on pens- had that twice as well

 

[Paul Anthony]

Dutch were really poor all game.

I've always thought this about the Welsh tbf.

If only Var had been around.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

I think there might be another sacking for De Boer

 

[Evo1883]

I've always thought this about the Welsh tbf.

Well the Welsh women ARE attractive in numbers considering the countries size .

My missus is Welsh and she's got amazing t...attoos

"Dumped out the Dutch"

 

[Tommo1993]

Really can’t call the next game.

Portugal I reckon. Nah, Belgium. No idea!

 

[COV]

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

 

[Evo1883]

Really when you look at it ..

Malen missing that 1v 1 basically changed the whole game literally

 

[Evo1883]

And Marco van Basten is correct about de ligt .. just not living up to it

 

[ccfc92]

Really can’t call the next game.

Portugal I reckon. Nah, Belgium. No idea!

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.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Bruno Fernandes on the bench again

 

[Tommo1993]

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

Whether that happens though

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.

[Mucca Mad Boys]

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

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.

Beat Germany and anything but the final in a failure in my books
