What a great performance against Italy! They completely nullified the Italian left back in the first half and dominated their way through to a very well deserved victory in the second. Just brilliant, making the Azzurri look like a bunch of patzers. I really wonder why Lippi didn't put Camoranesi on, his substitutions were dreadful.
I heard there was some other match being played at the same time, is that true?

of course some of us were at work...!
They weren't the same team today, Netherlands showed too much class for them to cope with.
Final incident of the game...
Keeper fouls Vittek in the box... should have had a red card.
(Why didn't he just let him take a shot? They'd won the game by then)
If he was sent off, no Dutch substitutions left, who would you put in goal? I'd say Huntelaar because he's tall. But Kuyt is acrobatic. Decisions decisions.
