Haha. Sorry Bryan but you just have to let go, like I did when I realised most of Ajax's first team was younger than me and hence my dreams of becoming a professional footballer were starting to look unlikely.bryan schreef:Boulahrouz is almost the same age as me, give or take a month or two.

Fortunately, this tournament is not just about Holland.
Germany the favourites, in my book.

Before the 2008 Euros:Kowalczyk schreef:I think Holland have a couple of world class players upfront and a few really great ones in midfield, too. The defence, though, is a serious problem: old, mediocre, nothing special. And as someone else said already: not much depth in the squad.
To be honest I think there's a very serious risk that Holland will crash out in the first round. My gut feeling is that we will start the tournament with a surprise defeat to Denmark (which would not even be that suprirising, really). Defeat to Denmark would turn the other two games into must-wins. We beat Japan, but fail against Cameroon - and that's it.
I wouldn't be surprised.
And even if we make it through the group phase we won't really go anywhere, I think. Quarter finals at the very best.
Kowalczyk schreef:My prediction for Holland!
First game: Italy. The Italians are slow starters whereas Holland will regard Italy as their toughest opponent (reigning world champions and all that). The two teams will settle for a 0-0 draw and will be quite pleased with that result. "Not a bad start," will be the common feeling.
Second game: France. Another big one. Holland will look quite good and create chances for a win, but the final score is 1-1. Holland will have mixed feelings: perhaps they should have won it, but hey, 1-1 is still not too bad. "Everything is still in our own hands. A win against Romania will see us through."
Third game: Romania. Romania are much better than expected, Holland have loads of possession but fail to find any real openings. Final score: 0-1 Romania and exit Holland. Flight back to Amsterdam: Wednesday 18 June, just in time to see Bruce Springsteen at the ArenA.
+1, two really bad calls. Neither should have been a card.souras84 schreef:nice ref today!! in the first half Greece got murdered
