There's been much debate over this the last couple of days here. And in Romania, Italy and France too.
He probably should rest his starters but the Dutchie squad has a score to settle with Romania and losing a match when you're on a roll is probably bad for morale - so i don't know.
I think Van Basten is loving the fact that everyone's completely in the dark as to what the hell he will do tonight

he'll rest most of his starters and romania will either win or tie is my guess.

Holland - Romania 2-1
France - Italy 1-2
But still I would sort of like to see Romania in the next round...

If he can, Van Basten will only restart Van der Sar and Engelaar.
Would be idiotic not to, restwise and possibly yellow/red-card wise.
NED-ROM: 1-1 (Huntelaar-Mutu)
FRA-ITA: 3-4 (balls to the wall desperate game)

Fucking Italians. It clearly wasn't France's day. I knew already when Ribery was carried out on a stretcher that this was going to turn to shit for the French.
Well well, let's hope that Spain destroys Italy on Saturday.

Half-italian though, so I can't let senseless Italy-hate pass by unattended. But I'm with the dutch this EK, don't worry

Germany will beat Holland in the final.
...not really. Portugal will kick us out in the quarter final.
I really hope, Holland reaches the final.

can someone explain to me the mechanics of the the roster catgories?
I know greece is out of the picture, but there is a match between spain and greece as we speak and it's 1-1.
this can only bring a slight sense of pride if you tell me that it's beneficial for spain to win this game and it's not just some gay friendly game.

The tournament begins with 4 groups with 4 teams each. In these groups every team plays once against every other team --> 3 matches for every team. The two best teams of every group move on to the quarter finals.
It's often the case, that after 2 matches a team is already out, but nevertheless all matches have to be played.

Unless humans develope immunity to fear, terrorism will always win.
It's just so sad that the 2004 synchronized swimming final incident had to prove that point

Russia - Holland promises to be an awesome spectacle imo
Only saw the second half yesterday but holy fuck, i was impressed. Too bad for the Swedes, i would have liked to see them win, but Russia was just a lot better.
