I agree the Dutch didn't think they could play so they decided they'd be hard on Spain which was a good tactic. Webb did a good job but he missed a lot of Spanish diving all over the place
they did play with flair. they play like no other country do, they're not afraid to stick to what they do best, whoever they're playing. they did the same against Germany.. took it to the them and it paid off. if Holland won by playing like they did i would have been disappointed.

a good tactic? what??.. lol. sorry but i don't see how you can say that's good. they have decent players who CAN play football but they decided to throw that out the window and hack their way to victory which just doesn't work when you're playing a team like Spain.

he missed a few Spanish dives, fair enough.. but no ref is perfect and he went a little too easy on a few dutch challenges so it evens out.


..and our dreams will break the boundaries of our fears..
