This Dutch win is going to set up one helluva Italy vs. France re-match and really goes a long ways to setting the Dutch up to go through.
EDIT: BTW, after talking to some refs, the first Dutch goal was 100% legit. As the Italian player behind the net was hit by his own player (Buffoon) and therefore no foul was committed, thus the player could return to the field of play at any time without the referee's permission so he was technically the last man back and he kept Van Nistelrooy onside.
