Holland vs Portugal

**gooddomains** · 06-25-2006, 10:17 AM

Portugal I'd say

**polish_aristocrat** · 06-25-2006, 10:18 AM

apart from Ukraine-Switzerland its the closest game in this round ( on paper at least )

can be quite a good game

**Libertine** · 06-25-2006, 10:20 AM

I don't think it will be a particularly good game. So far, Holland has played rather defensively, so this could become a very dull 1-0 or even 0-0 (with penalties).

**Vitasoy** · 06-25-2006, 10:20 AM

Portugal will win a close one. 2-1 or something

**scottybuzz** · 06-25-2006, 10:33 AM

This is going to be a fucking cracking match, either team does deserve to go out so early

**v4 media** · 06-25-2006, 10:36 AM

I'll go with Portugal, Holland haven't played 1 great game yet.

**kmanrox** · 06-25-2006, 10:38 AM

i'd like to see Holland pull thru, but i will admit that Portugal has looked GREAT this tourny.... but with the kind of talent Holland has, they could tear Portu apart, but you never know which side of them you're going to see... they have awesome capabilities though...

**kmanrox** · 06-25-2006, 10:39 AM

i wouldnt bet on this game if you paid me to

**thaifan99** · 06-25-2006, 10:44 AM

Vey tough game to call............... i will got for portugal on penalties.

And i see red cards too!

Then again, Holland are ranked 2nd/3rd in the world and haven't lost any of their last 10+ competitive matches

**he-fox** · 06-25-2006, 10:50 AM

Holland - Portugal 2:1.
But really anything can happen. Both are great teams. This will be a great match.

**Libertine** · 06-25-2006, 10:51 AM

God damn. I'm getting nervous. Time for another beer.

**kmanrox** · 06-25-2006, 10:52 AM

oh, and btw Holland is only a region of Netherlands, Netherlands is the whole country.. i forgot and messed it up too... /grammar police

**Trent Edison** · 06-25-2006, 10:56 AM

I just heard then Netherlands havent won against Portugal in last 7 meetings. Though, they never met on World Cups before...

But The Netherlands is a pretty bad name, so it is often referred to as "Holland" instead, which, although not factually correct, does get the message across.

**thricer** · 06-25-2006, 10:58 AM

I'm with Holland

**SZNY** · 06-25-2006, 10:58 AM

I think we (Holland) have a big change. This time we're on the tournament without the big ego players, only new talents guided by some experienced players.

Let's make some Portugese Hutspot ...

**Rui** · 06-25-2006, 11:01 AM

Portugal, tho I don't really care much...

**Eyes_Without_A_Face** · 06-25-2006, 11:01 AM

Go PORTUGAL

**Trent Edison** · 06-25-2006, 11:03 AM

My call is Scolari's squad will be a winner here. Dutch attacking triangle of Robben, Kuyt and Van Persie never worked as it supposed to be on this tournament. Its more like Robben was doing all the job for them.

**GoodGuy** · 06-25-2006, 11:15 AM

My prediction is:

PENALTIES!!!!!!!!!!

**Eyes_Without_A_Face** · 06-25-2006, 11:23 AM

Gggoooooaaaallll Portugal

**Tuga** · 06-25-2006, 11:23 AM

Ggooooaaallllll Portugal!!!

**Libertine** · 06-25-2006, 11:24 AM

Fuck! How could they fuck that up?!

**MaDalton** · 06-25-2006, 11:30 AM

hmmm, what do i do with my dutch friends in case they lose this game...

especially with those, that predicted germany will be kicked out early and they will win this tournament... <scratches head>

**Tuga** · 06-25-2006, 11:48 AM

its gonna be interesting 2nd half... holland better do something

**J. Falcon** · 06-25-2006, 11:50 AM

Portugal just lost 2 of its best players and is down to 10 men.

**Trent Edison** · 06-25-2006, 11:50 AM

Of course, russian referee is working today! Remember the 7-1 pounding from Portugal in qualification games? Off the field he goes

**thaifan99** · 06-25-2006, 11:51 AM

Ronaldo crying again! he always does........... grow up Mr Big!

I guess he forgot is brain home today

**Vitasoy** · 06-25-2006, 11:56 AM

Portugal, could easily be up 2-0 what a save by the goal keeper

**SZNY** · 06-25-2006, 12:00 PM

WTF, still 45 minutes to go.
Have to say that the ref is a blind asshole.

**born4porn** · 06-25-2006, 12:08 PM

I just started watching it, I think Portugal will win!

**J. Falcon** · 06-25-2006, 12:21 PM

Figo is a dirty bastard. He just headbutted a Dutch player while the ref had his back turned. Mofo!

**J. Falcon** · 06-25-2006, 12:22 PM

Now Holland just got one of their players thrown out and a smal "fight" broke out.

**Libertine** · 06-25-2006, 12:23 PM

And now he got a Dutch player a red card by faking something. What a fucking cunt

**Libertine** · 06-25-2006, 12:33 PM

Idiotic match.

**Tuga** · 06-25-2006, 12:33 PM

Motherfuckers !

Figo is a genious.

Something tells me you aren't seeing the game, or else you wouldn't say that...

its ok you want Holland to win, but starting to imagine shit is a big no-no ;)

Anyway what I look forward is for the Portugal VS England match...that is indeed something to look forward

**J. Falcon** · 06-25-2006, 12:33 PM

This game is getting nasty.

**Vitasoy** · 06-25-2006, 12:35 PM
