ORIGINAL: JWE Yeah, Dutchness seemed to be a bit quiet in that one. Noticed they are playing more D and midfield than they usually do. Maybe they are training up for the next round? And that would be France, Argentina, England, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Brazil, and Spain. The Dutch could do France, England, Italy and Spain, and maybe Argentina, but Germany and Brazil are like machines. What I've seen from the Dutch, so far, is an answer to the German system. I think (imho) they don't care so much about the cup as they do about Euro braggin rights. They 'could' do Germany, if they got lucky up front. I always want the Dutch to do well, and they always implode before the quarter finals. There's no shame in losing to the Dutch IMO. They've got some of the best attacking midfield talent in Europe, I've heard rumours van der Vaart is on his way to Liverpool. In all honesty I'd rather play Brazil than Germany (except maybe in the final ). Whilst Brazil are a better side and have more flair, the Germans are a much more disciplined side and are usually harder to beat. The Dutch will always score goals but defending lets them down and against the Germans that is asking for trouble.
