I'm not a big sports fan, and I don't watch a lot of football, but I will certainly watch every Dutch match during the tournament. I can't wait to see Germany lose next tuesday Oh, and France VS England is going to be interesting too. I'll be sure not to miss that one either.
Anyway... GO NETHERLANDS! --Erwin

This, besides the World Cup is my favourite sports event in the world! Yay! I'm going to try to watch every match, but I'll probably miss a few.
Greece was a bit surprise for me today, and I hoped Russia would beat Spain, but Spain was clearly better.

Wow! The England-France game's end was totally unexpected and amazing, although actually I kind of subconciously did expect something like that.
Part of me also feels sorry for England though. They had a chance to secure theire lead, but Beckham failed to realise the penalty shot.

David James is soooo guilty for the first one. Did you guys see wher he was standing? And Gerrard is a total dumb-ass.
I'm still in mourning, we f****n' couldn't beat Switzerland. maaan... The only chance now is to beat England, and we have a few million of Scotland's proud supporting us in Portugal (hehe)

GO FINLAND!!!
Wait, we didn't qualify (again)! I'm also sorry for England. I was totally hoping they would win, but it wasn't the first time they screwed up in an important game. As for the Netherlands vs. Germany battle, isn't it obvious that Holland will win? My guess is that Netherlands and the Czech Republic will continue from Group D, but it very much depends on if the big egos in Netherlands team will be able to play together as a team. Here's hoping. |

Beck's is still uber popular over here, even though he doesn't even play for an english team anymore - ROFL
As for England losing, it is a shame, I hope they still qualify. A lot of peeps think they will, but seriously, we're talking about England here!!
