*Official* Knockout Stages

Some goal that, when Robbens on song he's a player.

Dutch are the team I'm supporting in the tournament from now on, gonna forgive them Koemen, Total Football, FTW.

Yeah, you feel the footballing gods owe them a couple of WCs after their efforts in the 1970s.

Some class saves there, Arse to be linked with him in 1....2....3...

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Total Football, FTW.

One feels this Oranje side is riding on the goodwill earned by past sides.

Barely move four players past the centre line in attack ffs.

Kuyt starting in place of van der Vaart makes me die a little inside.

Possibly, but I still like to watch van Persie and Robben. Kuyt is always a turn-off, obvs.

Another couple of good save this time from the tulip-botherer. Arse to be linked et cetera, et cetera......

Kuyt looks like a younger Goldmember, ITBT.

van der Vaart has been downright awful on the wing all tournament. Was an obvious choice.

I'm not criticising the decision or the rationale behind it, just as a neutral who's always had a soft spot for Holland I know who I'd much rather be watching.

Yeah agreed. I thought it was one of the more boring games of football I have watched compared to the other 2nd round matches. Some quality saves by the Slovakian goalkeeper though. Robben just awesome.

Hnmm, ****ed up many a fantasy team there. 'keeper should of gone.

 

[The Sean]

The Dutch once again doing exactly as much as they needed to, and not an iota more.

Good Solid win by the Dutch team... they didn't play that well but scrapped through... so thats good news i guess.

**** off Craig Foster...

This is for Australian football fans...
Does anyone else find Craig Foster bloody annoying with his constant.... everyone should be playing beautiful football like the Brazilians or Argentineans..... than slagging off teams after they've just won because he didn't like their style of play.

Slovak an adept faller, though.

Anyway, curse your effective tactics, van Marwijk...

This the chap who absolved the players of all blame after their exit?

Sounds like a measured and balanced journalist.

Nah love Foz.

Les asks Foz a question which he responds by calling everyone a ****, then Les will reply deadpan with 'Mmmm thanks Foz, now onto group B...'

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

I actually quite like Craig Foster, as long as you don't ask him any questions about the Australian team at all.

 

[GIMH]

Chuffed Netherlands won

 

[Pratters]

Glad to see you happy.
