Re: The Official Football Thread

+1; Netherlands are the dark horse in this year's world cup. Sadly new Dutch sensation: Eljero Elia is out for the season. He wont stay at Hamburg very long.
I wouldnt call the dutch a dark horse. they just consistently underperform (in a notn-an-oxymoron kind of way). a bit like spain a few years ago. all this talent at club level, nothing at international level. i dont think it would be a huge suprise if they went very far in the world cup

Re: The Official Football Thread

Holland's defence sucks too much for them to be able to win it... I hope they at least make the quarters though

The only Holland defender that I can remember is Everton's Heitenga. Is Nigel De Jong part of the dutch squad? :cool:

Re: The Official Football Thread

i'm thinking Chelsea 2 - Villa 1 for that game
you thought right about the Chelsea victory, although I dont think anyone predicted Villa to lose 7-1, particularly with Young; Milner;Carew in-form atm.

Next weekend will decide who wins the EPL Title: IF Man utd win; they win the title...IF Man Utd draw, they still win the title....IF Man Utd lose, then they may not win the title ;)

Hopefully with Robben and Schweinsteger back Bayern can finish Utd off at OT.... don't want to see Utd in another final
