The Dutchies can expect three challenging football matches next summer during Euro 2008 held in Austria and Switzerland! Today, faith has drawn Holland together with World Champion Italy, World Champion runner-up France and Romania (who ended ahead of Holland in the qualification group) in the same group. At least “we” know what to expect with these opponents.
Holland boss Marco Van Basten added: “That really is a hard one. The Romanians posed us so many problems in the qualifiers, and before that we will have Italy and France, but at least we know what we are up against.”
The good thing about this drawn up is that we can expect three exciting matches in which Holland don’t has the make the game itself. Which is a good thing since there will be lots of space to ball around for us as well. Let the football craziness begin!
The full Groups are:
Group A Group B
Switzerland Austria
Czech Republic Croatia
Portugal Germany
Turkey Poland
Group C Group D
Holland Greece
Italy Sweden
Romania Spain
France Russia
‘we can expect three exciting matches in which Holland don’t has the make the game itself’ – Mmmm. I wouldn’t be that self assured – Italy, France – they could easily roll the Dutch over.
Jokes aside, if Croatia could have given England carrots – then my pick going through from Group B would be Croatia.
They could easily out muscle Germany – who to be fair has been pretty inconsistent in my book.
I fancy an Eastern European side to take the Euro 2008 Tournament.
Western European sides are too soft – like Dutch cheese?
