Both systems make perfect sense to me.

they make sense but Im not so sure it is the best system

hope that puts an end.to this -omg omg Holland have no chance

If the Netherlands keep playing like they were for the last 2 months, we won't win even against Ireland.

Bulgaria ftw

Both systems make perfect sense to me.

When 3 teams are level, giving qualification to the 2 teams that drew 2-2 rather than 1-1 makes no sense.

They do.

Euro's system is the one to prefer, though, I think. The Euro's are pretty much superior over the WC every single time. Usually the World Cup groups have at least one team that sucks pretty hard, favorites win by 3,4 or 5 goals over that opponent and pretty much has the goal difference on their side throughout the group phase in case that's needed. In the Euro's we usually got 4 teams in every group with every chance of advancement on the last match day of the group.

HOLLAND!! we are gonna get that first win tomorrow...i hope. Our history with portugal isn't that great. Apparently we lost like most of them

They're not going to win.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

They're not going to win.

 

[l.Harm]

Hopefully we now get the penalty's we deserved against Denmark

And the two teams from group B already are in semi's, lol.

 

[DominicDecoco]

Okay, this is hilarious!

[l.Harm]

Yes lol. Mr Ego himself

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

hilarious, robben complaining about ego's

mr "i cut in and shoot into the 3rd ring everytime"

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

To be honest, there is no one as good as Robben shooting from that position. He rarely misses by a lot. Still funny to hear that of him.

Even though all I read about him as a guy off the pitch was that he's a nice modest bloke and not a big ego at all.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Netherlands will play super-offensive...Van Marwijk named starting 11

GK Stekelenburg
DR vd Wiel
DC Vlaar (so Heitinga out..)
DC Mathijssen
DL Pieters
DMC De Jong
AMC vd Vaart (v Bommel out)
AMC Sneijder
FR Robben
FC Huntelaar
FL Van Persie (Afellay out)

Yes it does. More is better.

Whether you agree or not is a different matter.

 

[Magnus]

As Denmark is playing at the moment it's very likely that NL can proceed if they win

 

[The Hitch]

Yes it does. More is better.

Whether you agree or not is a different matter.

More is better exactly. So why would you deny it to the team with the best goal difference overall?

 

[Magnus]

I thought you meant that it's strange pick to somebody with a goal score of 2-2 over someone with 1-1. I guess that was out of contest.

If you should rate internal matches or all matches more is kind of potato potato to me.

 

[united123]

Holland started of the better side since the 1-1 all portugal now
ronaldo is sick what an athlete,i personally would like the best sides to go through cuz denmark bore me to death but thats football they got good team spirit.

 

[united123]

The dutch defense is bad tho going forward they are great but its a travesty that willems is playing he is just 18 yrs old and not being harsh but he is out of his depth,his positional play is not good and van der wiel has a good reputation around europe but he has been a big let down

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

The whole defense is quite bad, and quite frankly the rest of the team have not been much better. A poor performance in a poor tournament for holland.

 

[hrotha]

Rabofail?...

Lol i tipped you for the win,spain are class but no team wins 3 major tournaments in a row they won Euro 2008 WCup 2010 i cant see them winning it again.France or Germany for me.

After the 1-1 they have not attacked well either. Long balls and hopeless possession loss by Willems and Vd wiel

We have hopeless left/right backs. VD Wiel can't even pass to his own teammates. He is horrible... and can't defend Ronaldo either. Total suckage.
Might as well forfeit the match now to prevent further embaressment

huh what this is the Euro's dude.

Is willem's all you got because you cant really blame him he's so young i feel for him he's looked lost every game he is good on the ball but posisionally really bad.
