just recieved an email from my oldest bother who along with one of my other bros. arrived in the Ukraine the other day specifically for the Dutch game v. the hasselhoffs....he wrote me telling me how insane the vibe and people are...the younger of my 2 bros. was at the england-french match(he stayed out of trouble, but was pissed out of his brains, per usual)...they met up today to start getting lit up..my oldest brother hasn't been to a football match in 24 years..he was last in germany when the Dutch captured their only ever medal at Euro '88..he was detained along with about 500 others before the match with england ...said he would never step foot ever again in a stadium due to the animals that the english were..but couldn't pass up the chance to see our boys stomp some german ass...so he hopped a flight from sydney, australia and hooked up with the family....don't know what it was about his enthusiasm..but he sold me....this tourney is ridiculous...gimme the Dutch at +200 to beat the hasselhoffs....cheers
you guys here don't like draw no bets eh? I always see a lot of outight win lines but here DNB pays right at evens. Germany beating Portugal might do a Russian and work on a draw knowing that beating Denmark probably tops the group but certainly means advancing. I hope for your sake the egos straightened themselves our but covering the draw at evens is much sexier in my opinion. But GL on the straight win...part of me wants to bet goals just in hopes this turns into a classic EURO match. Tough day to predict and I went 0-3 with the first round matches in this group so...
obviously i am big RVP fan because he saved our asses in the EPL but that's a mistake..Hunterlaar provided a certain spark that RVP didn't have and against Germany it won't be long before that game gets out of hand. I understand the manager probably has to start him because he plays in the mighty EPL and was the best in the league but Netherlands lose here and he is probably gone. Being on the over i'll root for a RVP hatrick but i don't know...he looked like the pressure was too much for him. Could have been the match of the round robin but after that Portugal v Denmark game it probably wont be match of the day
GL to cocktail who is no doubt cursing loudly with that lineup..and yeah Kuyt could have started too imho

saw the quote of the day from de jong about being subbed v. denmark...."if i was married to van marwijk's daughter i wouldn't have been subbed"...now, that is classic...any shot at van fumble is due..he's useless...and the war within amongst all the egos continues...van der vaart just unleashed holy hell upon van marwijk's positioning him on the bench in lieu of the starting line up...
“I am no longer prepared to deny I am finding this role really tough. Do you know how frustrated I feel?
“I am in the best form of my life and I train so hard but I get the impression the team selection is not going to change in my favour.
“I don’t want to cause a mess that would have a big effect on the others but it does not look like my position is going to change.
“Hardly any changes have been made to this team since the 2010 World Cup and that is great when you are in the starting line-up but it’s crap when you’re on the bench.
“I feel like a young dog that is dying to get out but is caged in.”
When asked if he was waiting for an explosion to erupt within the camp, Van der Vaart added: “I hope for that every day.
“I knew from the first minute how things would go with this Dutch team.
“My family think I have been crazy for staying silent for so long.”

one more thought for our coach who knows everything,,,if you are gonna start robben why not have him go against useless boateng rather than the wing that phillip lahm is playing?...there is a world of difference in class right there between those 2 hasselhoff defenders
