Netherlands-Slovakia: 2-1

[gamiila]

So far, my tactic of pretending to support the other team by rubbishing Oranje and occasionally shouting "Come on, Denmark/Japan/Cameroon/Slovakia" at the screen seems to have been quite effective in tricking the gods of football into letting the side I really want to win through to the next stage

My friend(a bookie)said on facebook before the tournament started,that he wished he had a shed loads of money to put on the Netherlands.He knew something we didn't...

Perhaps he did...but personally, if I had shed loads of money to spend, I wouldn't bank on The Netherlands winning. I mean, they were great and unbeatable in the run-up to the championship, but going on past experience, they always fall short of delivering somewhere along the line. They've never brought the Cup home yet and I don't honestly believe they'll so now
