cornettored Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Quite simple. Netherlands need to beat Portugal 3-0, 4-1, 5-2 whatever get a 3GD, and the Germans need to beat Denmark, without giving up a goal.HAHA, YEAH RIGHT! We're done.You forget that you're going to play Portugal, a squad that many times a sure thing turns out to be anything but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadragon76 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Just admit it, NEW.ERA: The Dutch soccer team is just like most, if not all, of Amsterdam: Smoked. Out.No way do they beat Portugal by three goals on Sunday. It's like the Dutch have decided to lay two huge eggs and they're paying for it.

NEW.ERA Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 I admit nothing... Actually, maybe it's not as daunting as I think.The Netherlands will advance to the quarter-finals if they defeat Portugal by at least 2 goals and Germany defeat Denmark.Van Marwijk needs to insert Khalid Boulahrouz or Wilfred Bouma in place of Jetro Williems. He's 18, will be great one day, but he getting absolutely dominated out there. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 No, it's not - the GD from matches against Germany gets thrown out in the three-way tie. Right now, Portugal is +1 (with 3 GS) in that potential tie, the Dutch are -1 (with 0 GS), and the Danes are set in stone at 0 (with 3 GS). The Dutch can't win at 0 GD, so a 2 goal victory and a German victory gets them through at +1.Danes can't advance in the three-way tie - either someone's positive or they're all even, and even if NED win 1-0, they'd still be level with Portugal who has the head-to-head.

ninersdd Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 What makes the Germans so scary right now is Mario Gomez. I remember him missing gimmes against Poland and Austria 4 years ago and had a lackluster World Cup in 2010. A scary team is scarier!Also any fellow Irish fans willing to do some Tebowing at 11:45(my time) tomorrow? Hopefully they can slay the Spanish dragon!

I don't understand how the leading goal scorer in all of qualification for this tournament is coming off the bench.I agree there as well. I'd even like to see Dirk Kuyt or van der vaart in the lineup somehow. Obviously the one guy that is replaceable is Afellay, and you're not taking Van Persie, Robben or Sneijder out. I guess it's a good problem to have with any other squad, but the amount of talent on this team, and no one can sacrifice for the nations good, that's when you get the horrible play.They bought in during South Africa, albeit being accused by Johan Cruyff for not playing that oh so successful mid 70's total football.... Ego's and not enough effort repairing that back four after Van Bronckhorst retired, is what's leading to their downfall, but I can tell you this. If they somehow magically get into the Quarters, look out! JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltere Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Somewhat surprising fact: Pirlo's goal in the first half was the 1st scored directly from a free kick at the Euros since 2004, the entire 2008 tournament didn't have one. 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: sorry sweetie, but I don't suck minor-league d CCSLC Post of the day September 3rd 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 C'mon Ireland... either get a result or only lose by 1 goal here! After that first half, I'll definitely take the draw. We'll know in a couple of hours if a draw'll put Croatia through - there's a good chance it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 And with that. Ireland become the first team ousted from Euro 2012. Fans of the Tourney so far, even though that means nothing now.

waltere Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Ireland first team officially out of the tournament, unlucky to be drawn in a group where they were simply the weakest team.Their fan support is incredible though.EDIT: Dammit NEW.ERA beat me to all points 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: sorry sweetie, but I don't suck minor-league d CCSLC Post of the day September 3rd 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Hey, Spain, how does a 2-2 draw sound to you? You win the group and Croatia can take second. Just get me to the knockout round now.Assuming ITA win (otherwise ESP and CRO go through), here's how everything'd look in Group C-With a 0-0 draw in CRO/ESP, Italy win the group and Spain go through as second place-With a 1-1 draw in CRO/ESP, Spain are guaranteed to go through. If Italy wins by 3+ goals or wins 3-1 (or 4-2 and higher, etc), they go through. If Italy wins 2-0 or by 1 goal, Croatia goes through.-With a 2-2 (or higher) draw in CRO/ESP, Spain win the group and Croatia go through as second place.
