Update on this fatefull evening for 2 teams composed of elders after first period...
Netherlands vs Romania is a draw @ 0-0
Netherlands seem to be superior, but they didn"t score like they did against France and Italy. So I guess their "low profile" team is a little less efficient. Plus they do not really need to push like hell since they already qualified.
Basically Netherlands are still exposed to a counter-attack from Romania... should that happen, the France-Italy match would just be for "fun"
France vs Italy is 0-1 on a penalty with redcard for Abidal (France)
So France is losing and 10 players against 11... Plus we lost Ribery for injury in the 7th minute (Ribery is a good player that gives some energy to the game... in fact he's almost alone with energy in our team....)
Miracles sometimes happen, but we have to be realistic...
Edit:
Netherlands wins by 2-0. Really great of them. Hope they'll go far with such an incredible spirit and power.
Italy is qualified since they won by 2-0 and Romania lost.
France and Romania are out.
So for now I'll support Portugal. I know they have few chances to go to the end, but that's my mother's nationality.
