In theory they should be the most attractive but it seems every match all they do it pass it between themselves with hardly any of the invention and vision individually each of the players have, while the other team just sit with 11 men behind the ball occasionally getting a shot.GuerrillaClock said:Hopefully Spain will win it. Really not impressed with the antics of van Bommel and the theatrics of Robben this tournament. On paper, Spain are by far the best side and the most attractive to watch.
I can't help but admire that kind of passing though. The movement is excellent and Their midfield is jaw-dropping. To be fair they always seem to create lots of chances but fluff them, something I blame on Torres not being fit/in form. And when they go for it, it's really special.MCGT said:In theory they should be the most attractive but it seems every match all they do it pass it between themselves with hardly any of the invention and vision individually each of the players have, while the other team just sit with 11 men behind the ball occasionally getting a shot.GuerrillaClock said:Hopefully Spain will win it.

Hurray, Irish support!RAKtheUndead said:I hope it's Germany - and then I want the Netherlands to win outright.
It's all a ruse. We have the Dutch playing like Germans and the Germans playing like the Dutch. That way we have to win this time, right?MCGT said:In theory they should be the most attractive but it seems every match all they do it pass it between themselves with hardly any of the invention and vision individually each of the players have, while the other team just sit with 11 men behind the ball occasionally getting a shot.GuerrillaClock said:Hopefully Spain will win it.

I'm Dutch myself, and the Western parts you're talking about are Noord-Holland (North-Holland) and Zuid-Holland (South-Holland). Holland is those 2 provincies, however it has become the easy to spell name for The Netherlands, and so when you say Holland it is considered you're talking about the country as a whole, not 2 of the coastal provincies.FinalHeart95 said:A trip to wikipedia shows it is the western region of the Netherlands.

Holland is not a country.
My pick is Germany to win it all, but the Dutch are playing really good as well. Who knows?
