    Somehow it happened, the Dutch go through to the semi-finals :lol: , must have been a pretty boring game for neutral spectators, it was one of the worst games of the tournament thus far, ending 0-0, only getting exciting in the extra time with the Swedes hitting the crossbar and the post, just minutes before the end of the game, so it went to a penalty shoot-out, the Dutch have a big tradition losing those shootouts, but today WE WON :lol: , so now anything can happen…… :roll:, next game: the semi-final against Portugal on Wednesday….

    Yeah it was a nailbiting shoot-out. Specialy when Cocu mist his penalty, everybody in the orangecoloured Irish-pub was thinking: IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, losing on penalties. But sudden, goalkeeper vd Sar stood up and stopped the swedish rocket. Then Robben, only 20 yearrs of age (remember him of the famous supstitude) managed to finish it of. We are through the semi’s
    Portugal will be tough, 50.000 suporters and at least 11 players (referee not included :)

    To be continued!

    …didn’t help, the Danes are out, beaten 3-0 by the Czechs, a short brilliant spell in the second half was enough…. :roll:

    Portugal – Holland
    Greece – Czech Republic

    Half an hour?? Just 15 minutes of powerplay butchered the Danish! 49,63 and the 65th minute..
    I think the Greek have a change, a small change. I dream of a Greece/Holland final 8) But put my money on Czech / Portugal :(

    or you could buy some new contact lenses :lol: :P

    Greece has been the biggest surprise for me so far in the tournament, other than France and Spain being knocked out allready, and I’m looking forward to the semifinals. From what I’ve seen so far I’m hoping the final will be Holland vs the Czechs. Then again, I thought the final would be france vs spain, so what do I know :)
