What can I say: I'm a fan of a lot of things Dutch.

Best quote ever. Might be my new sig.

mainwhile in holland:

[zimmah]

Are we voting for who we want to win it or who we think will win it?

I think Spain will win it, I want Germany to win it.

they can't luck their way through the finals twice.

They are clearly the best team mate, you sound like a sour dutchman

just because they won the WK last year doesn't mean they're the best team.

lately, i'd say Denmark is doing pretty well. but i don't really see them winning.

i mean, spain is good, but i doubt they'll win twice in a row.

[zimmah]

Has to be TGD.

I look forward to moaning relentlessly at the amount of times they go to the England camp during pre and post game.

I did vote for Greece, but I was not the first to vote for Greece.

According to my great uncle (rest his soul), the Greeks invented soccer.

accoring to the greeks, everything is greek.

Greece 2004 victory wasn't lucky... They deserved to win. IMO, that was the finest defensive show ever with a classy organization and teamwork mentality which didn't depend on a superhero inside the team!

P.S. While my favorite team in this tournament is Russia, I think Germany has the best chance to win the title because they are very serious and solid!

They won the world cup and the euros and they are easily the best team on paper. You say they "lucked" their way through but I would say they did it by playing total football, they beat the Dutch at their own game and your only response was to get Van Bommel to kick them. They are the best team, whether they win the tournament is a different matter.

@Pirlo- he was talking about Spain not Greece.

[Pirlo]

OOPS!!

Well, I think Spain are the best team in this tournament but pressure may get them, it's why I wouldn't think they are gonna win again!

spain is overhyped, they won't even get into the finals.

[nietzsche]

I don't know if they are overhyped, but they are not lucky, they fucking have the ball all the time, almost like barcelona, so i hate that kind of game.

Spain's not overhyped, Xavi's been underhyped.
But now he's not as good as he used to be, and Spain, in spite of still being a great team, probably won't win.
But I agree on the "they fucking have the ball all the time" part, that's not Football if you ask me.

[Nola_Lifer]

Spain with Torres upfront doesn't seem all that scary to me. France, ze Germans, or the Dutchies.

[Timminz]

Smells like sour grapes.

[jimboston]

Where's USA?

Derp.

just because i'm from holland doesn't mean 'm jealous about spain winning. holland usually does bad in the finals anyway. it's just that i don't think spain will automatically win because they won 2 years ago. that's not how it works in football.

Nobody said that, we said they are the best team in the tournament and they are clearly the favourites. That doesn't mean they will win, it means they are most likely to.

No one has said that Spain will win because they won the WC. Nor has anyone said that that's how it works in football.

You are being overly derisive of the abilities of the team that beat your team in the WC final, and that type of behaviour reeks of sour grapes. Especially when you consider that Spain still has a very good team.

Derp on your Derp.

You think I didn't know that was a dumb ass question before I asked it?

4 votes for Republic Ireland and zero for England , reality on the one side and desperate hope on the other , bit like the case for atheism

lol even the english wont vote for themselves you know its bad when you think your a top team yet your own fans think otherwise.

for the record ireland have no chance in winning but if we do manage to get out of the group stages then we'll get to the quaters i think. spain and italy in our group though so i aint holding my breath.

So you are trolling this thread then?

This is jimboston's punishment:

[pmchugh]

Loving the commentary.

[aad0906]

Not a logical choice but got a feeling the Dutch might actually win this time.

I hope so, but I fear they won't
