    lol, Robben is the master of choking.

    First during the WC Final, then the UEFA CL (twice) and now this.

    Selfish player.

    According to the Dutch newspapers, Arjen Robben shouted 'SHUT YOUR MOUTH!' several times when van Marwijk instructed him to track back. It seems that the camp was divided, more egos than last time, the big players not willing to work for each other. Had all of that been in place, we were too weak anyway with our mediocre defensive players. Can't believe I spent over a year looking forward to this tournament! Complete and utter embarrassment.

    Dehnen ist gut für die Bänder
    Aber Bender nicht gut für die Dänen

    With Group's A and B completed, this is how the 1st half of the quarterfinals looks:

    Czech vs Portugal
    Greece vs Germany

    I don't see how group B doesn't take both of these.

    IMO, that's been the problem for some time. It seems like Total Football is dead and that Arjen Robben is the one holding the knife.

    So when Robben got booed in that friendly games right after the CL final, it was more than well deserved. It fills me with joy watching him fail and hated everywhere he goes.

    The most dissapointing thing about the Dutch embarresment at Euro 2012 is that there were no young players getting experience (except for Willems, who showed he needs some heavily).
    I just would've liked to see more young guys in qualyfing and such. Wijndalum, Elia, de Jong, etc. all show talent so I think it's time for them to get great national team experience in WC qualafying.

    Honestly here are the players from this team that I want to see at WC: Steklen, Affelay, RvP, Willems, van der Wiel. After that I really wouldn't care if any of the starters didn't play in WC. Its team to clean house and bring in the youth, theres enough of them.

    Spain is one of the better teams of all time, if you want to see dominant football watch Spain.

    He was out of the box and Ramos got to the ball first.

    Ireland is out and the Spain match has the two group leaders with five points, one of the best teams of all time and a very talented Croatian team that needs to win. Not really a question what match to watch.

    Always thought it was funny that people think that just because you get the ball first means its not a foul.

    Silva is playing like ****. Last time I called him out on it he scored right after. Hope this works.

    Edit: LOL and immediately he gets subbed for Cesc. He'll break this open now :cool:
