Rather, the Dutch team pleased. As for the world champions, their performance didn't disappoint, if only because the French and Romanians didn't impress much more. And the Italians played well too. It's just that the "orange" team looked very strong, and it felt like they could step up their game at any moment.
In conclusion, I'd say that the Netherlands and Italy should advance from this group. The Italians need to get rid of Materazzi, disgracefully expelling the brute from the national team (I can't understand why Marco gets a place in the squad?), and let Toni rest for a while - in the match against van Basten's team, he didn't shine, to put it mildly.

Sincerely,
Gur
