(But at least I picked Schweinsteiger)

 

[Loveless]

I went for RVP top scorer. Not feeling confident right now.

I went with Huntelaar so you can imagine how pissed I am.

 

[SEMM]

The Dutch will need to win their last game to go through won't they?

 

[TLC]

Fucking *****.

 

[Daniel]

The Dutch will need to win their last game to go through won't they?

If it stays like this, by four goals. Against Portugal. And hope that Germany beat Denmark. And don't allow them to score any goals.

They are fucked.


EDIT: Wait. No. That's not right. I've failed with my maths.

EDIT EDIT: I am right. Can't believe I questioned myself. As it stands, the GD is 0 for Denmark and Portugal, and -3 for Netherlands.

 

[Loveless]

Dutch will need to win, comfortably, and hope Denmark pick up nothing against Germany.

Erm Portugal have no GD
Dutch are -3
Denmark have no GD

So Netherlands need to have a better GD than Denmark and would need to win by 3 goals or hope Denmark lose by more than a single goal.

 

[SEMM]

"Tie-breaking criteria
If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings:[39]
higher number of points obtained in the matches among the teams in question;
superior goal difference in the matches among the teams in question (if more than two teams finish equal on points);
higher number of goals scored in the matches among the teams in question (if more than two teams finish equal on points);
superior goal difference in all the group matches;
higher number of goals scored in all the group matches;
position in the UEFA national team coefficient ranking system;
fair play conduct of the teams (final tournament);
drawing of lots."

So, it'd come down to who scored the most between the three times if I'm not mistaken?

 

[Loveless]

As far as this game, Netherlands are toothless. It's Denmark all over again

 

[SEMM]

Huntelaar introduced. Thank fuck.

 

[Loveless]

I don't know what has happened to this Dutch team. They were excellent at the World Cup, it's the same team with the same manager.

 

[SEMM]

Van Persie!

Hurt Lahm and Neuer in my FF but he's also in it!

 

[Loveless]

1-2

Goooooooooaal!
Van Persie!​

 

[Daniel]

R! V! P!


Also, Klose. Fuck yes.

 

[Loveless]

About time he hit the target. Can't say the Dutch deserve anything from this game, Germany have been effortlessly better.

 

[Daniel]

If I was the German manager, my team talk would be "aim the ball at Klose's head and wait for goals".

But it would be in German. Obviously.

 

[Loveless]

Looks like they've finally woken up. This is more like it.

 

[SEMM]

I missed that. Robben subbed off? Or did he just walk off?

Never mind, see Kuyt.

 

[Daniel]

What a tit Robben is.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Late to the party, but Boateng's block on Sneijders shot just a couple of minutes before RVPs goal was superb.

Also, whether for club or country, I don't think I've ever seen Ozil finish a game.

 

[Loveless]

Group B - Game 12
Final Score

1-2

Gomez 24
Gomez 38
Van Persie 73​

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

I don't know what has happened to this Dutch team. They were excellent at the World Cup, it's the same team with the same manager.

I would have to say it's the defense. Before at the World Cup they had Van Bronckhorst ordering them about and keeping them in chekc. Tonight, that defense looked woeful. Hummels basically jogged up the park and had two shots at goal without even breaking a sweat. Too late for a real comeback to be honest.
