YAY! absolutely wonderful result and i was SO happy to see RVP score

Someone has to find the video of his celebrating that goal though. He was so camp it was unbelievable!

how very dare you! he's all man (my friend was laughing at me because of how mental i went when he scored )

It's true the players that will play will want to show that they are good enough to start the quarter final.

true...we will kick some romanian asses.
also to the fans they cant let them win.we always wanna win

It's sure that Holland is going for the win in their poule match against Romania.

Van Basten and many leading players (as well as J. Cruijff) said so in interviews! You'll see that the subs will try their best to play good and we have the players for it as well.

A bigger problem is that Holland finds it hard to play against strong defensive teams, with a strong counter. We love playing teams who'll try to attack because and it give us the space we need to 'tutti frutti' their defenses. The true test for this Dutch team comes when playing a defensive team, and down on 0 - 1...

hahaha

get some tutti and some frutti and............... the rest you know

I heard he recovered from his injury, so big chance that he will play against romania

I just think Holland have been good enough to score and entice the opposition on to them - hence the counter-attacking.

When a tighter game comes along, they're perhaps losing 1-0 and the opposition sits back and defends strongly, I still think the Dutch have enough versatility and quality to break them down. I don't foresee any problems tactically there. Guys like van Persie, Robben, Sneijder and van der Vaart can break down any type of opposition with precise & intelligent skill, a piece of magic or a well worked piece of interplay. They seem really sharp and knowledgeable about their own game, their own team game, which is interesting in itself.

Then you have the World class poaching of RVN, just ready to pounce on any sighter he gets. Then someone like Kuyt who can get stuck in, hassle Defenders and make things happen through sheer penetration and determination.

I hope they are tested in different ways in this competition to see how they do react. But as long as the quality remains fresh & fit and the spirit remains high, they'll not be stopped by anyone unless the opposition have a similar quality of attacking prowess and team spirit - like Spain.
