i hate you wooden

deal with it

 

[MMaRsu]

If you look at the dutch team, there again are so briliant individuals on the pitch. But as a team they are so fragmented.

German Mannschaft on the other hand is such a coherent unity.

Yeah but its so weird two years ago they played like a brilliant team.

 

[Klyka]

BBC commentators just said the ref is really a millionaire. Sold his shares in a multimedia company and only does this job for the love of the game.

That's fucking awesome.

 

[spidye]

Gomez sucked in Euro 2008 and WC 2010.

torres was among the shortlisted candidates for ballon d'or in 2008.
clearly he's still as good now.
and how exactly did he suck in 2010? he didn't even play.

 

[Fritz]

deal with it

He really is Frankenstein. The way he dissolves in the shadows there. HEY!

 

[Nevasleep]

Haha amazing.

 

[dc89]

Good save!!

 

[OnkelC]

 

[schuelma]

Such shit defending

 

[slaughterking]

Hummels deserves a goal.

 

[Rad-]

Ahaha Holland. What the fuck was that?

 

[Diablos54]

Do the Dutch know they need to, you know, defend?

 

[ColossalLazy]

Ah so close. Dat dutch defense lol.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

damn , damn

 

[Korez]

lol Stekelenburg

 

[TCRS]

wtf he's just walking through the defence lol.

 

[hylje]

Nederland deserves to lose this. Awful defending.

 

[Klyka]

Are the Dutch still playing? Because that German player basically just slowly walked through like 3 of them without them even moving towards him.

 

[Broder Salsa]

We have come to the moment where even Hummels can just go through the dutch defense.

He really is Frankenstein. The way he dissolves in the shadows there. HEY!

deal with that

 

[Fry]

Gomez sucked in Euro 2008 and WC 2010.

Gomez played for 56 minutes the whole competition. lol

 

[Clegg]

Super Hummels

 

[IceCold]

I'd prefer Varela, honestly.

And I don't agree with anything else you said. Considering our history and population, our team is better than it should be (since the late 90s). Clearly, we must be doing something right...

Sure the team is better overall but it could be much better if more attention were given to native players. Have you seen the Portuguese league? It's practically a South-American league. That's not good for the national team.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Great chance for Orlando Bloom.

 

[Kabouter]

Yeah but its so weird two years ago they played like a brilliant team.

What tournament did you watch two years ago? I don't think they've played a good game against a solid opponent since the Euro 2008 group stage.

 

[Dark Schala]

Do the Dutch remember how to defend?

 

[Hoo-doo]

They can just walk towards the fucking goal. There is no defense at all.

 

[Error]

dutch defense making hummels look like messi there.

 

[Juicy Bob]

It's like the Germans have changed the difficulty setting to 'Amateur' in the options menu.

 

[macksplack]

omg what a crappy defense

 

[Envelope]

Man, Holland look so lifeless now.

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

Saved this back in WC 2010, seems appropriate:

 

[TheOddOne]

Do the Dutch remember how to defend?

They never did it before.

 

[gutter_trash]

I hope Portugal is watching this closely

 

[Steeven]

Yeah but its so weird two years ago they played like a brilliant team.

Two years ago they played very physically and Van Bommel and De Jong were in shape. Also, other players like Sneijder really got their momentum there. This time, van Bommel can't keep up and the whole style of play is so predictable. I wonder if there even is a system, except give every ball to Sneijder/van Persie/Robben and hope they do wonders.

Hell, bring Narsingh and Robben, with Huntelaar as center forward and van Persie behind Huntelaar. At least we will have somewhat to look at. This team can't even keep the ball in the team behind midfield, what the hell.

What tournament did you watch two years ago? I don't think they've played a good game against a solid opponent since the Euro 2008 group stage.

Second half against brazil was pretty good..the match vs Uruguay

 

[TheChits]

I really hope Gomez can pull out a hat trick

 

[Wellscha]

torres was among the shortlisted candidates for ballon d'or in 2008.
clearly he's still as good now.
and how exactly did he suck in 2010? he didn't even play.

Shows you how much he inhibits the German offense you don't even remember that he played.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Looks like he's kicking the poor dog.

 

[Klyka]

And this is exactly what you get when a team hypes itself up over and over.
"We can't lose a single game with this team!" and then they lose all morale the moment things go wrong.
And the German team? "Yeah, we feel we are doing well, we hope to play a good tournament."

 

[Rad-]

Sub in Götze!

 

[LegoArmo]

Entire Dutch team should be ashamed, they don't even seem like they care.

 

[Steeven]

Second half against brazil was pretty good..the match vs Uruguay

That wasn't because of playing good football. Again, it was physically.

They played even better when van Basten was coach and he let them play like shit most of the time. At least they scored.

 

[spidye]

Podolski sucks so much.

 

[TCRS]

Euro 2012 |OT| of Holland going for the Löw score

haha I like.

 

[Clydefrog]

 

[SamuraiX-]

Defense is absolutely non-existent on the Netherlands end. It's a disgrace.

Something's not right.

Are they protesting against the coach? Wtf, man.

 

[OnkelC]

Looks like he's kicking the poor dog.

zee dutch do that.

 

[Error]

Second half against brazil was pretty good..the match vs Uruguay

Brazil imploded in that match.

 

[Sviatoslav]

Entire Dutch team should be ashamed, they don't even seem like they care.

Will be funny when they annihilate Portugal anyway.

 

[Fry]

Put Schürrle on, Podolski has been useless so far.
