KaKa Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 To be fair Pirlo has been class. His range of passing is outrageously good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Wasn't that good a save from Van Der Sar Clive you f***ing cocksucker. How long before he somehow manages to crowbar a "one magical night in Barcelona" reference in, despite there being absolutely no relevance here whatsoever? I honestly despise him. How the fuck is he allowed on national TV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Italy haven't been very good tonight, but damn, the Dutch look good. So much power, pace and technique in that side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 lol i was thinking that this kid looks like a c*** then he goes and hits the woodwork... eh? Needless step overs remind me of a certain C. I was talking about the Dutch right winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Is there anything better than watching Italians get absolutely ripped to shreds in a major tournament? yeah. Replace the Italians with the French. Only thing better would be watching England ripping the Italians or the French in a major tournament. Some hope Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classy midfelder with great prescence. yep - could be be a realistic target? 28, plays for twente, not a top club - looks just like what we need Coach at Twente moved to Schalke and took Engelaar with him promptly, before anyone else came in for him after this tourney. The coach at Twente converted him to a DM from an AM, so he was loyal to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer9 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Italians are just so old. Complete opposite of the Dutch tonight, but imagine how dour and boring that Italy-France game will be. A bunch of old guys running around out there playing long balls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Cracking game. Still no goals scored in reply in six games though, bit disappointing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Good game, Italians didn't even play too bad but clinical from the Dutch. Very enjoyable. How i wish we had a VDVaart or Sneijder in our team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Really enjoyed that. Some great performances. I thought Pirlo was terrific, tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphrodite Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 "A player leaving the field of play because of his momentum during play, is not deemed to have left without the Referee's permission and can therefore re-enter without the Referee's permission. In this instance, although the defender is off the field of play, (and until he returns to the field of play), he should be deemed to be standing on the goal-line (in the field of play) when considering offside. The Assistant Referee should stand in line with the last opponent on the field of play (which in this case will probably be the defending goalkeeper). When deciding offside in this scenario, the two last defending opponents are the defender who has travelled off the field of play, and the defending player who is nearest to the goal line on the field of play (which in all probability will be the goalkeeper)."

Nobody Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I know people have been going on about him on here for a good while, but tonight was the first time I saw VDV play, and I was mighty impressed with him.

I'm not 100% but I think they did well in the German league last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
