Holland 4-1 France
Berne, Switzerland.
Quite simply a magnificent game!
Holland went 1 up early on and Les Bleus were not interested. Then, after 35mins of the 1st half, we had a game on our hands. I take my hat of to the French, they took a hold of the game and worked their socks off. To no avail though.
If anyone who watched this game saw the miss my Henry, you will know what I'm talking about when I say that this was the most pivotal point in the game. With the keeper to beat, all he had to do was lift the ball over his head into the goals. He lifted over the keeper, but also miles over the goal as well!
Shocking miss!
The Dutch went 2 up just after this with a great goal by V.Persie, 59mins.
French came back to score through a great goal by T.Henry. 2-1.
The Dutch went right up the park a minute later to score again. 3-1. A fabulous finish by Arjen Robben.
French fought on gamely, but were unlucky.
Sneijder scored a 4th for the Oranje to make the final score 4-1 with a fantastic goal.
Words to describe this game mean nothing unless you have seen it. It was a magnificent contest.
The French now play the Italians next week in the last game. The Dutch play Romania. Personally, I would like to see Romania go through, but more likely, the winner of the first game will go through. For me, it will be Italy. But what a game this will be!
What a fantastic tournament
I had to tape both games and watch them later due to a birthday party I was told to attend for a certain 8year old girl, my daughter Ciara. She actually told her mother that it was ok for her dad to miss it because there were 2 very important games taking place! I kid you not! What a girl!!
Her mother, on the other hand, warned me that I could not afford the divorce fees if I didn't attend.
