Its so typical of them, they set themselves up in good position and then just as the job is nearly done they take their foot off the gas.

I mean they still won the group, but just barely.

Either that or the Germans lost to the Irish on purpose to put pressure on the Poles. That seems like a perfectly serviceable conspiracy theory.

Looks like Holland have capitulated, that is an odd looking starting XI.

Yup, Huntelaar, Robben, RvP and Sneijder can hang up their Oranje boots.

Time to hand it off to the next group.

Hold up!

The Czechs get a red card, it might be on for Holland now, the Dutch have Huntelaar, Sneijder and RvP on all at the same time, if the Netherlands can get a win out of this they may make the playoffs!

3-0 on a Van Persie OG. What a catastrophe for the Dutch.

Huntelaar claws one back.

The really sad part for Holland is that the Czechs dont even need this.

Depay might be the worst passer of the ball I have ever seen.

Van Gaal's reputation growing immensely from this result. Took basically the same team to within a shootout of the WC Final. And now they're the laughingstock of Europe.

so although Norway and Ukraine have more points, it seems as if Turkey is through as the best 3rd placed team because apparently the games against the last placed team don't count in that regard. Because UEFA, that's why.

I missed Turkey jumping Hungary.

They have to do it that way because Group 9 has only 5 teams.

Re: USA/Costa Rica

I just....the baby soother.

Like, where do you keep it all game on the off-chance that you score a goal? I can think of a place but...I wouldnt want it anywhere near my mouth afterwards. I understand that should never be done.

Those shorts dont have pockets.

And even then....whats the significance? You're a baby? I dont get it. Am I missing it?

With the last two popes being a German and Argie it's about time the Vatican fielded a team also.

Joking aside, we're probably <10 years away from a Catalonia team.
