The winner of this game goes on to play England or Ecuador( which some might call an easy draw) so there will be a lot to play for.
Holland looked good in their group, only coming second to Argentina on goal difference. Watch out for Dirk Kuyt....
As for Portugal. They do look strong this year, but surely not strong enough to take them all the way. This will be a real test of their credentials.
Kickoff @ 9

Brazil, Argentina...When they want to be...
England can be exciting. The coach is to blame for the fact that they are so boring ATM.

1-0 FT....
Portugal to play England in the quarter final!! Without Deco and Costinho though, and maybe Ronaldo out injured. Bring them on! :)

Well done to Portugal :D They played with 1 man down on Holland (not in that way) for most of the match and held onto the goal.

People are blaming the 'mad' russian ref! :mad:
I'd have sent off two more players!! I think all the cards were absolutety justified!!

it wasnt the ref's fault...most of the offences were bookable except for a certain few. schoolboy soccer it was but fun to watch.
As for Ronaldo: The tackle on him was really bad. It deserved a red card and I wouldnt blame ronaldo for being in agony.

Extremely dirty game but it was fun to watch :p . Again the Netherlands fail to show their true ability though.
Well done to Portugal.

you guys are harsh hey
i felt sorry for ronaldo
i would like to see you guys play in such a big game only to be injured
i guess you guys are so manly that crying seems very gay to you :)
dutch suck ass because the coach left out van Nistelrooy (one of the best strikers in the world cup)
he also left out roy makaay and edgar davids(didnt even include them in his 23 man squad)
the man is insane and should be fired for being a total idiot

Stupid ****ing Sepp Blatter said the ref should have got a yellow card, when it was HIM, as the President of FIFA that insisted that refs be strict in this WC.
What a w@nker.
