After today's game I started to believe the Czech Republics are no. 1.

The only reason they did well against The Netherlands was due to our stupid head coach helped them get back in the game when he substituted Arjan Robben... And not to mention the ref who was a freaking *******

One substitution=3 goals? ::)

I think:

Poor team coordination and lapse of concentration due to "win mindset"=3 goals :D

If you had watched the game,you would have noticed that when Robben was substituted, it already was 2-1 ::)

You would also have seen that he was a threat to their defense and after he was off, they basically could do what they wanted on the left side.

Besides, I said it was one of the reasons, the ref sucked big time... Next time think before you spam in another thread..

It would be much fairer for the Netherlands if the game had ended in a draw. Both teams lost plenty of chances throughout the game and there was no period where one of them completely dominated. Great game and I hope we see more of those.

I agree, a draw would have been fair. So far it's been one of the better games I've seen, both teams did well !

Ref? I didn't see any penalty being given or any red cards being flashed... ???

*sigh*

Like I said earlier, THINK before you post... You obviously haven't seen the match, neither did you read anything about it. A red card WAS flashed (against the Dutch) and a penalty SHOULD be given to the Dutch...

Stop spamming

Heitinga was sent off after receiving a 2nd yellow card (thus red) for a "schwalbe" from Nedved.

And sure we can be arguing the ref. They way van Nistelrooij was brought down in the penalty area was clear. It should have been a penalty and a red card for the Czeck player. If you look at the rules they refs were giving BEFORE the tournament started, the ref should have given either van Nistelrooij, or the Czeck player a card. But he didn't.

It's not I'm saying the Dutch should have won, but the way this ref acted wasn't correct.

Mmmm I see your point. Well, I guess the game is over... :( But my dad won his $10 bet on Czech Republic winning, lol. Let's forget this biased game and move ahead and see if Latvia can qualify. :)

OK for today's games, I am gonna guess the hosts will not get to the next round and Greece goes through with an easy win over Russia...

OK I watched, it was highlights only, it should have been a draw. Both played equally well, even before Robben was taken off. It should have been 4-4 IMHO... :) So many attempts on goal gone nowhere...not to forget, Edwin and Peter between the sticks did well. :D

The Czeck player who grabbed Nistelrooij like that in the penalty area should have gotten a red card and a penalty for us.

And Advocaat made a mistake taking Robben off the field.

The game was superb though, everything football should be like.

I did see some biasness though I didn't think it affected the game so much. But I did see a gaping hole at the midfield-defence, most probably due to Robben's substitution...

In which case it was 12vs12 since Netherlands' 12th was the linesman.

It's sad to see that after such a great game ppl whine about the referee.

If you'd know the rules you'd agree that it wasn't offside.

Grrrrrrrrrr I need to trash something..... preferably that arbiter yesterday... what a fucking annoying man... can't play ball for 10 seconds without some kind of card of whatever. I think overall, that a 2-2 would've been a more justified outcome. But it was a good game nonetheless.

Yes, the host advantage I mentioned earlier. :) If they do so, that means they are getting through at Spain, such a strong contender, 's expense! :O

Especially when Portugal has the usual home advantage... *cough corrupt match officials cough*

The host must ALWAYS get through to the next round...so the other spot will either be takeb by Greece, Spain or Russia. Of course, it is obvious which one will take the other spot and proceed with Portugal... ;)

we saw a perfect example of that in south korea.... however Portugal is a great team and I don't think there's any corruption in this, the Italians are allready starting to point fingers at Denmark and Sweden, but then again theif thinks everyone is lying.

"It is not an offence in itself to be in an offside position.A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by:

interfering with play or

interfering with an opponent or

gaining an advantage by being in that position"

Van Nistelrooij did gain an advantage by being offside. Quite obvious IMO.

van Nistelrooij only got the ball after it was received by Robben (on the OTHER side of the field), after Robben had rushed with it to the back line and after he has passed it on to van Nistelrooij... If it was so obvious offside, how come no one complained (not even the Czecks) ? It was obviously no offside.

Hmm...Portugal got through fair and square, thanks to the Spainish offense, as usual, failing to hit the back of the net from a yard away.

I guess Greece felt that they already had a Q-Finals place so they didn't mind losing... ???
