We call them Holland, The Netherlands, the Dutch. Gotta sort things out. They speak Dutch, and they are the Dutch. I guess they could be called Hollanders or Nederlanders. Ok. I looked some stuff up. Its a mess. Goal early by Croatia or Turkey and we got a good game methinks. |

You see that tiny seam SENTURK had to get the ball thru? What a clutch shot. They have chronically weak D, but they are pretty clutch shooters. They got a lot of yellow cards today. Unlike most of their penalty problems, they didn't deserve very many of those yellows today. Nihat went down with maybe a hammy. Don't know if anybody good will be left to play. Will need miracle #3. This is the drama club. How much time did they have left? 5 seconds?

Great game by Russia today.
That little guy they got up front that looks like Ashton Kutcher is incredible. He is the best player I have seen so far (knowlege very lacking so Brock chime in) And that tall blond fella firing rockets from what seemed to be midfield has the monster leg of the tournament. Really entertaining game. |

first guy is Arshavin who has been just splendid to watch.. 2nd guy is Denis Kolodin.. have to say that i thought Russia thought the Dutch a lesson in football last night. tactically better, more creative, more passion, much fitter, it was astounding.. They have improved so much from their opening game hamering against the Spanish. they might face them again in the semis id nearly fancy them to reverse form.. Spain Italy now is more chess, but interesting.. Italians are wiley old guys but are missing their two key players in midfield Pirlo and Gattuso. Spain usually choke when they are favoured, and have lost 3 times in a quarter final on penalties on June 22nd, in 1986, 1996 and 2002. Could it be 2008 as well?

It may have been the horrible Dutch defense, but I saw some hesitation moves I have never seen before. He is extraordinarily gifted with the ball. He had to make an impact on some professional team? (Unless the Dutch made him look good) You got the matchup. I hate the Italian's style so I am glad they lost. Spain v. Russia should be much more interesting. |

If this is a European Championship Tournament, then why is Turkey or Greece in it? For entertainment purposes?

You live in Detroit? Why? That has got to be one of the most brutal cities in the US along with maybe Oakland. |

apparantly, turkey only have 13 players available for the game tonight because of injuries and suspensions. so they have only 1 outfield sub.
and in some 6 and a half hours of playing time, they have been leading for just under 8 minutes of it.. incredible stuff. good luck to them tonight, they have brought plenty of interest to the tourny..
