I've been rooting for Romania to qualify in Group C from the start because I love how great underdogs they've been.

Just think - if they beat or get a draw against Nederlands, they'll have outdone the two World Cup finalists!

Good luck Romania!

PS. I want to see my boy Arjen do good for Netherlands too. But I also want to see Dirk Kuyt and Edwin Van Der Snore doing badly. Teehee.

Kuyt and van der Sar are both not playing tonight :( They are like my two favourite players =/

I want Romania to win because I used to live there. *laughs* But it is funny if Italy and France both didn't get through. The Netherlands better not throw the game, though!

I don't think the Netherlands will. They're fielding a weakened side, but that's only practical considering the QF coming up. Whatever happens, I think the players will give a good match.

Good luck!!

I all kinds of hope that the Netherlands just throws the game today because it would make my week to have both France and Italy knocked out.

I agree with you.

imaginasian June 17 2008, 18:33:13 UTC

agreed.

The Netherlands will have a totally different team tonight, so I'm very curious how they're going to play. I'll miss Van der Sar, van Bronckhorst and Kuyt though. But it's great that van Persie will be playing from the beginning =D Of course I hope they'll win, though I wouldn't be very sad if Roemania will win or get a draw. And that's because of two reasons: 1) I think they really deserve it and 2) How awesome would it be to knock out both France and Italy in the first round?

I'd love to see France and Italy out, so go Romania! :P

The Netherlands is my favorite team, but it would actually favor them to lose to Romania tonight - plus, I'd love to see Romania in. Plus, Mutu is an adorable little panda. So!

wraithlike June 17 2008, 18:40:53 UTC

I agree with almost all of this (except The Netherlands isn't my favourite team, except in this group).

bludger June 17 2008, 18:43:09 UTC

I quite understand your allegiance to Sverige. (And agree with it wholeheartedly!)

wraithlike June 17 2008, 18:45:39 UTC

I was actually mostly referring to Portugal there. ;D But Sweden is a very, very, very close second.
