    Holland can still qualify if they beat Portugal and Germany beat Denmark - bizarrely!

    Don't forget Germany smashed Holland in November in Hamburg, this is a seriously good German team

    Interesting that 52 people brought them in what I thought was a real tough group to call. The 4 that sold must be laughing right now!

    I thought that if teams are level on points at the end of the group, standings are first decided by head to head, not goal difference.
    So Holland, Portugal and Denmark could all end up on 3 points, all having beaten one team, and losing to the other.
    Then it gets complicated.
    If they lose 2-0 tonight, then i think Holland would have to win 4 - 0 against Portugal to overtake Denmark on goal difference (a 3-0 win and they have equal goals for and against, but are out on head to head i think?)

    Realised i didn't take into account Denmark losing, meaning that their goal difference will deteriorate too, so Holland wouldn't have to score as many.

    52 people bought them in the spread bet competion expecting them to do well. I was one of them that wacked the 200 on them. Didn't want the signed shirt anyway :(

    Edit- turns out I didn't even buy Netherlands. Back in the game :D

    Has it crossed either commentators minds that Robben was just getting off as quickly as possible ?

    Agree. The numpties even mentioned 'oh look now, his taking his shirt off'

    Not a chance of that. Did you see the face on him and van Bommel? The bloke is 100% a tart.

    The Dutch were disappointing. They only woke up when they pulled one back. What was Robben's wobbly all about when he was subbed? Or, was it just about getting on with the game?

    Van Bommel or De Jong to get a card is simply buying money
    Easy dough!

    Its going to be a blood bath. Germany 2-1 Holland, 3 red cards and 7 yellows.
    Yes final got a result right, ignore the cards bit at the end though.
