I am not Dutch, so I need to be convinced that the Dutch need my support more than the Croats

To be fair, the Croats (and Spain) look quite tasty, as did Portugal. I really couldn't care who you support. Provided it isn't the Germans

Niw that Portugal are out I will be fully supporting the team I drew in the office sweepstake...Come on you Dutch!

To be honest, I do actually want Holland to win it.

Can't be that bad: watching the carthorse Toni aimlessly hack his way around the 6 yard box is quite comical.

I thought der Germans deserved it tonight. Personally I think the Dutch have carried a fair bit of luck so far, they enjoy playing on the break as do Russia...looking forward to it.

Against my advice, my mate had a fiver on Toni to be top scorer

At least my shout, Podolski, is still in with a chance (although poor tonight0

it's about time the Dutch team found some cohesion. the past 10 to 15 years they just have not gelled well as a team. individually, there was a point in the late 90's i think it was where on paper, the Dutch team was the most expensive national side, but they just couldn't play well together. Van Basten has the sight to see not so much who is best, but who plays well together, and it makes all the difference. And in a way, I'm kind of glad Babel was injured. Boularouz has been outstanding so far.

Told my dad not to bet on Portugal and he didnt listen

Just a pity the Germans had to cheat to score the third goal.

Watching John Terry, Carvalleo [sp] Diddling Dogbreath et al, makes me think that the first thing Jose taught his players was how to push defenders out of the way without getting caught.
