Anyway this yellow card won't do anything since it was probably Henry's last international match... Thuram and Makelele already said they are retiring
I'll be supporting Holland and Spain from now on !

Yeah I tipped Germany to win. They dragged themselves to a world cup final in 2002 and semi in 2006 when they were not fancied for anything. Same with Italy in World Cup 2006 they were'nt the best team. Spain won't win. I dont care how well they have been playing Spain will not win. I would like to see how the Dutch cope if they find themselves one nil down though.

i hate the fact the german's are in the final but i really was quite glad they beat portugal just because i'm so sick of ronaldo (i think man utd should sell the greasy slime bag for as much money as possible - great player but no class). I still think the cup is holland's to lose they deserve it as have played with such great heart (shame england never play like this)

Arshavin makes the difference - he was suspended for the first 2 games. (What chances for Ronaldo going to Real Madrid, and Arshavin ending up at Man U?)
And at least the Dutch can still support Hiddink.
As a Scot, we've got Holland in the World Cup qualifiers, so taking comfort in the fact that they can be beaten - was looking grim after the group matches!

Saw the highlights of this one on Sunday morning - Russia were pretty impressive whilst the Dutch were surprisingly ordinary, some of their best players were anonymous!
Good to see Spain in the Quarter Finals, nothing against the Azzuri but nice to see Spain going far in the competition for a change after always starting so well.
Russia v Spain again, now don't think we'll have a 4-1 on our hands here!
