1st Half
what a game. stayed up for this match to see if van persie was to play and i’m glad that i did stay up. lol
The 1st goal by van Nistelrooy was really a poor decision by the referee as he was clearly offside. But the flag stays down.Holland 1:0 up.
The 2nd goal by Sneijder was a wonder goal. Superb counter attacking. After van Bronckhorst cleared off the line , the ball was quickly distributed upfront with a nice chasing by kuyt whereby he head towards Sneijder who volley in from the tightest angle.

2nd Half
Being down 2:0 italy. The italians simply didnt give up and went on chasing back every single ball. But to no avail as luck aint on their side. With Materrazi injuring his shin , grosso was called upon and did a great job as a left back. Good football and neat control by him running up and down the flank.

However the Italian’s attack were still pretty weak. Luca Toni as the target man needed another striker so as to play as his shadow to get balls been lay off by him. And true enough the coach saw the need to bring del piero on , subbing out natalie who was kept pretty quiet on the field doing nothing much. As usual the charisma of Del piero was indeed great in italian football. All the players were as if injected with a boost after he got on and he did have quite afew great chances but couldnt take it well.

Finally late in the game van persie was brought on !!

A foul by the dutch side give pirlo another chance to show how precise his freekick is but only to see van de sar who had a great game making a great diving save. Once again the ball was brought upfront quickly and this time by van Bronckhorst who lay off a great ball to kuyt whose shot was well saved by buffon. But kuyt continue running and in turn lob the ball back into the penalty box giving van Bronckhorst a free header. Zambrotta who tried to saved the ball knocks the ball back into the net.

3 - 0 i guess e score sums up everything =).
