Mainly that the media are gushing over them (Scandinavian loyalty) despite the fact that no Dane would ever support Norway because they claim (with some right) that we play ugly football.

That and they've turned into a nation of xenophobes over the last decade or so.

Good game from the Dutch, they are growing into the tournament like they're German. Nice shot from Robben, some good build up play as well. Bring on Slovakia.

Yeah, he is the weak link I feel. With Robben fit, he's probably out of the team though.

problem is that both van der vaart and van Persie are natural AMC, problem is Sneijder already plays there, it might be an idea to play van der vaart instead of Nigel De Jong, so you have 1 controlling MC and 1 more footballing MC.

we'll see what van Marwijk pulls out of the big head.
