Lia really is a good sport, can you just wear the dress anyway ?, even if you lose

[Lia]

Give me some time to think about that, please....
( it`s not yet bought... imagine when I come home with this!!!)

When we lose, a deep depression might go over Holland ( however not so many Dutch expect to come far).
and such a dress might arouse some aggressive comments.
People still suffer from the lost finals in 1974 and 1978.
But I remember also so well when we won in 1988!
It was one of the most fantastic (sport) moments I ever saw in Holland.
People were celebrating for days.

well, anyway, you seem to like the dress

[Guest]

Maybe we could persuade Tijn to wear it as well

[Syd Smurf]

I'm supporting Antartica this year because they have the coolest players and because I bet they won't lose even one single game in Euro 2008.

Dyar

[Smurfysmurf]

Yeah, imagine that....not to lose one game and still not be the champion...life isn't fair, is it

I know, England isn't in it...but I am very very loyal and maintain...they SHOULD be the European Champion

[Dutchiesmurf]

Maybe we could persuade Tijn to wear it as well

Hahaha I doubt you could persuade me

[Lia]

or me
I really wonder if they ever will sell such outfits..but on the other hand...
if you see the Dutch supporters during an international match, everything is possible, there are no limits, I fear

[Guest]

I know Martin will remember this too probably, but when Euro 96 was held in England, Liverpool hosted one of the games and i can remember Liverpool city centre being full of Holland fans in their orange boiler suits, they were everywhere, it was one of the best footballing sights i've ever seen

[agent smurf]

I was trying to say that I support Germany even if they didn't win a match since 1996.

[Guest]

Hello Gert, i think after many years, Germany are finally getting it together and have every chance of winning this time around

[Simon X]

Germany have every chance of winning this time around

Of course I would be happy with that!
The last Euros were not good for Germany, but the last two World championships were great, so...Who knows? I think, Germany has at least the chance to reach the quarter or semi finale, though there are not playing many "world stars" (in fact maybe only one: Ballack?) like in the Netherlands, France or Italy...

[Dutchiesmurf]

Very true Simon.

And mind you.... Holland has had world stars in their team since the 70-ies and only won in 88.... so that says enough

(although we did deserve to win in 74 and 78 )

[mrs.einstein]

TRUE!!!!

After watching the first few games, I think there are some teams that are lucky to be there (as England didn't qualify), and the real good games will be the elimination ones in two weeks.

[Guest]

I think you will be right Paolo and it is a shame about Cannavaro too

[Smurfysmurf]

that must be it

After suffering thru the last 15 minutes of Germany vs Poland, I suddenly remembered why I stopped watching soccer (sorry, I mean football )

[Guest]

Bah humbug..........what do you know, you're a woman....

Bet your granny's happy tho

[Smurfysmurf]

Yeah, I'd say she is

[Smurfysmurf]

You might have to buy that dress, Lia

Congrats to the Dutch I only watched the last 15 mins again, but they were impressive....against Italy

[Lia]

I don`t think, anyone expected this....It`s an incredible joy Maureen!
For us, this is an historical victory!
and believe me, this match was worth to look at ( absolutely NOT boring!!)
