Football!

What, did no one see the FRANCE-ITALY match, 0:2? Ribéry's injury, Abidal's red card – it wasn't France's day. The match was good, technical, and fast, but I wasn't rooting for Italy!

And it wasn't Romania's day either. It seems that eliminating both Italy and France at once wasn't the plan. Of these two, they chose France.
If Italy becomes the champion, I won't be surprised; they know how to make it to the final, even if it's a tough road.

I completely agree with you; the pass was simply superb, beautiful, and effective (Van Persie did his job, shoving the ball into the goal.
Sneijder was also great; when he shot, and the ball flew, everyone was watching the ball and couldn't take their eyes off it, even the defenders.

The Dutch are playing great football. And it seems that the squad isn't that strong; there aren't any players on the level of Van Basten, Gullit, Rijkaard, and Koeman.
Let them play against us in the quarterfinals – we'll see a lot of beautiful goals. And the Swedes will play a boring game, losing 0-1 or 1-2, no show.
We're rooting for our team and for beautiful football!
