If you go back and watch the Holland vs Italy game again you'll start to realize that this amazing fluid attacking play that Holland had was not really present. Holland did not control the game and did not create nearly as many chances as people think they did. With the suspect Italy defense and the finishing of Ruud, a dominant Holland team would have made more chances then that.
Italy held on to possession and were beaten by terrible selections and a poor offside call (it was up for interpretation, i guess). Starting Ambrosini and Gattuso? laughable, De Rossi is one of the world's best CM's and he should have started. Aquillani is there best attack minded CM and he should have gotten a shout.
Czech Republic have the quality to beat any team in this tournament. They beat Germany 3-1 away in qualifying and Germany had not secured first place in the group so they needed a result as well. They were also ranked second in the world before the world cup and if not for some injury troubles, they would have gone on much further. If they pull it together they can beat this Portuguese team, they played very organized, very European football and are the second most physical side in the tournament, Germany being the first. Their style of play can give Portugal problems."If you can read this and still disagree, fantastic; just realize that you’re wrong." - Lyle McDonald

I respectfully disagree. Holland controlled a lot more possession than Italy. They also had more shots on goal and chances in general. Their passing was very fluid and when they got into tight spaces, they were able to get out of them, tooling the italians. Although Italy had some good chances to score, they didn't convert and most of the time the high pressure of the dutch was too much for them to create. I look for italy to come out stronger for the next two group games and advance with Holland.

I'm gonna agree with MUFC here, they really didn't control the game that much, and their goals came from counter attacks (brilliant, I must add), where they ended up 3 attackers on 2 defenders. I reckon Spain have shown the best attacking football by far, slicing the defence open when they still had all 4 defenders back there, and flat. The movements of Villa, and the vision and creativity of the Spanish midfielder were too much. I guess we'll only be able to tell when they play the harder teams though
All I wanna see is progress,
Forget the rest of the process

Germans need to pick up their game.
Croatia is playing very well at the moment.
I loved how the Croatian coach celebrated the goal.And David said, "The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." And Saul said to David, "Go, and may the Lord be with you." (1 Samuel 17:37)
Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and he struck the Philistine and killed him; but there was no sword in David’s hand. (1 Samuel 17:50)
