What a horrible game. And screw van Basten, for benching his
best forward (he could have had a better one but for some reason
didn't bring him along). Not even putting him in after they were
playing 10-11. Unbelievable. Instead he puts in Kuyt, who
apparently had real problems finding the goal. If Kuyt has proven
anything this tournament, he has proven that he lacks the class
to be in a tournament like this. Bah. Ah well, Holland is out.

It was a world class goal. But I do not think that it will be enough
to beat Portugal. Do not underestimate those Portuguese. We did.
