Dutch were all over them in the first half though

doubt Inzaghi would have had a sniff (did he make the squad, btw?).

Agree re slow starting though. And France-Romania was a good result for them.

        I hope Romania don't go through...I really don't like that style of football (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jun 10, 09:39:49
        
        they are looking for a pen or freekick to sneak games one nill (n/m) (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Jun 10, 09:43:28
        
        yeh - that goes against the spirit of the game though (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jun 10, 09:46:59
        
        not that likely to get that heading for the corners though, surely? (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 10, 09:45:35
        
        oh dear - really? (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 10, 09:43:15
- isn't it better to have experience in the team plus Donadoni (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Jun 10, 09:25:05
  - you need experience (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Jun 10, 09:26:58
  - Dutch were all over them in the first half though (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 10, 09:26:49
    - Italians missed Cannavaro and should have started with 1 more attacking (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jun 10, 09:36:14
    - true but I thought it was more to do with the Italians over palying (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Jun 10, 09:30:56
- Donadoni had far too many of his mates in the team... (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jun 10, 09:18:22
  - still certain that Holland don't have enough in defence, Brandy? ;o) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 10, 09:20:11
    - I don't think the defence was really tested last night...ha :>) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jun 10, 09:22:51
      - I thought it looked shakey when the Italians built up a bit of pressure and if Toni didn't (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Jun 10, 09:26:52
        
        Quite possible but the Italians looked shattered at the end (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Jun 10, 09:28:27
      - They did play Ambrosini though which is not unlucky just stupid (n/m) (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Jun 10, 09:23:39
        
        he is mates with Donadoni though - truly shocking management (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jun 10, 09:34:56
  - Toni looked a complete carthorse (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Jun 10, 09:20:05
    - I thought he looked ok for a big man...just left his shooting boots in Germany (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Jun 10, 09:33:11
      - I know very little about the German league to be honest (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Jun 10, 09:35:11
- surely they should be more motivated? (NCFC) - mr carra, Jun 10, 09:11:20
  - I suppose it depends on each players character (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Jun 10, 09:19:28
