I have to say the referee did an awesome job. The newspapers reported here that he really wants teams to be able to play and not stop the game every other second for minor things... I think he did a great job that lead to a great game.

The Netherlands was the best team today.
And I agree with you Bert Jan, the referee was very good today. Not many referees could handle the high speed in the match. Then many makes mistakes...

i don't think that he was that good...there were situations on both sides where he should have given some free kicks, but he was lucky to have two really fair and great teams like holland and italy.

if this referee would have been at the match portugal-turkey, then good night.... <_<

Great game, I really enjoyed it... The first two days of competition haven't been that great, but today's game was pretty good. I think the 3-0 is a little bit exaggerated, specially since Italy really played well on the 2nd half, but kudos to the Dutch who were worried about not scoring :P

Tomorrow should be another good games with Spain (they have a very scary offense with Torres and Villa) and I also want to see Sweden, I love Ibrahimovic.

I'd written the Dutch off before this tournament, thought Italy would be all over them until they took the lead then would close down but it just didn't happen. When Ruud scored you could see him look round, he thought he was offside, he didn't celebrate until he made sure there was no flag.

I thought Holland were looking a bit shakey at 2-0 up but the third sealed it. Italy had no way back and it's thrown the group open. Could Italy possibly not get through now? Makes it interesting when your team isn't in it.

On the form of tonight, this year could be an orange one...

ibrahimovic is a fantastic player, but i think he isn't already in best shape, cause he was injured for a long time...but let's see, such a player only needs very few chances!!

yeah, i'm really curious how spain will be playing. they have their HQ here in my country and state, just half an hour away...torres and villa are very dangerous strikers ^_^

Did you watch the same game as the rest of us did? :mellow:

I have my doubts about Sweden, they got one awesome player but he cant do all the magic for the team. I would fancy seeing spain and holland battle it out in the final.

I wanted to ask the same question. :rolleyes:

Hope Sweden will beat Greece today, Henke is there so don't worry. :)
