Yep, but i am affraid that Sunday the dutch will kill that fire with some real dutch cowmilk

HOLLAND !!!

3-2 Thats 14 wins in a row since we won our first quallifying match

Good luck to all!

.... and the best consistant team won. The finals wasn't the best game of the world cup (from my point of view), but Spain did put up the best performance.

Thanks,

Thast because the dutch got yellow carted out of the match, they could bareley move or they'd get a yellow card.

The only way to win from Spain is by playing agressive forechecking, well that way of play was killed by Howard Webb.

Get real Bachus, I am Dutch too, but ours were a disgrace yesterday. As a matter of fact I have not seen any game of the Dutch during this Wordl Cup that was a joy to watch. They were slow,rough and without any imagination with the sole exception of Robben. The composition of the team was unbalanced from the start, van Persie was in the wrong position apart from being hopelessly out of shape, van Bommel and de Jong fit Italian cattenaccio football, not creative Dutch total football.
We best forget all about this team and this Championship which was very bleak overall with very little soccer worth watching.
On behalf of any true soccer fan I apologize for the Dutch performances. I (and you) know we can do so much better............

Silly man...

The dutch where focussed to win....

Louis van Gaal allready described that this would happen in an interview 20 minutes before the match...

The only real hard foul was from de Jong which indeed deserved a red card even if he was trying to go for the ball. But all those so called fouls where harmlesly and only the high quallity spannish acting made the fool named Webb give yellow card after Yellow card. While spanish fouls where never punished with a yellow card.

Both Iniesta and Puyol should have been rewarded with a diract red card. The goal of spain was offside..

While spain actually seemed to have the upperhand, the dutch got the best chances in the orriginal 90 minutes.

I would have loved to see the game with another refferee. One that understands football.


Most important of this world cup is the feeling of unity it created in Holland, espescially the lost final... One in victory and one in sorrow, but proud to be dutch we are... And our new ennemy is Howard Webb. Which is much better for our country and the feeling of unity then declaring our players to be loosers.

Dear Bachus,

YOu are living proof of how much the Dutch here misinterpret their own game and their arrogance. Try and read the English, German, Italian and Spanish press, if you can. The entire world press faults the Dutch game and our famous Dutch total football has been harmed almost beyond repair.
YOur analysis of the game is as pathetic as the game itself and as the Dutch side....How you can be proud of that is totally beyond me....

I read the english press, and except for the tabloids they where pretty harsh about webbs performance...

And in Germany it was bild (not even e true newspaper) to try and bash the duthc in search for sensation..

So, yes i am proud at our dutch players for trying in every which way they could to get the worldcup only being stopped by a refferee
