thats more like it, wonderful game
I think Italy can come out of it pretty upbeat, even though it was a heavy loss.
The first goal was an absolute shocker of a decision... and then two pieces of absolute magic produced goals 20 seconds after Italy thought that they had scored.
But Italy kept possession well for long periods, they just need to get men up to support Luca Toni more quickly, and they probably need to be a bit more solid at the back - but to be fair, one goal was offside, and the other two - there is probably nothing any team in the world could have done about either of them.
EDIT - and Holland looked strong. But you dont often see a Dutch team that doesnt know how to pass the ball. The key is sticking together as a team. Van Bronkhurst was magnificent tonight, and I thought the big lad in centre mid a very decent game as well... if you add Van Persie and Robben to that mix, they are going to be a threat for anyone.
