Default Oranje Boven!

Anyone watching Euro 2008? The Netherlands have faced Italy and dispatched them 3-0 and then today they beat France 4-1. They've already clinched the toughest group in the tourney.

Yes, pretty amazing. The France-Italy match is now all about avoiding elimination.

Forza Italia!

Heja Sverige!

Freaking Sweden blew it against Spain in stoppage time. That hurt.

Netherlands looks really tough.

They totally dominated those overtime periods. Their forwards were pretty incredible, especially Arshavin(sp?), the guy who scored that 3rd goal.

Yeah, they looked amazing. Totally deserved to win that game in regular time.

The Russians had so many chances, it seemed inevitable.

Sad.

Tough way to lose. PK's just don't seem like a fair way to settle things but after 2 overtimes what else is there?
