That's that then... Sorry Gus

He may well be rubbing his hands that the national team manager gets the sack and the position is up for grabs

Why are the Dutch fans not bouncing around? Or are the ones in the stadium all Afrikaners with only a tenuous link to the motherland?

i was very dissapointed with the Dutch fans i was with and saw out there! great colour but silent through most of the games

Has to be said tho that the Dutch are about as exciting as when Greece somehow managed to win the Euro Championes. They owe more to fancied teams failing to play to their ability than any innate qualities in their own team. The REAL final takes place tomorrow night.

That's what I meant.

It's what it'd have been like if England got through. Poor, but you'd still have taken it.

Does the Dutch Coach look like an aged Paul Weller, or is it just me?
