Netherlands safely through to the quarter finals of the Euro 2008 after two successive victories of Italy (3-0) and France (4-1).The Dutch are flying once again! :)

Meanwhile Romania will be needing all 3 points against the Dutch to
move to the next round after two successive draws against France and
Italy. Romania drew 0-0 with France and 1-1 with Italy.

In a matter of face, the Dutch can loose this match on purpose to
let Romania to the quarter finals kicking Italy and France out of the Euro 2008. The question is, will Holland do that? :)

My sixth sense tell me that the Dutch will try their very best not
to win this match in a professional manner. Romania should accompany
Netherlands to the quarter finals.

Changes

  • John Heitinga will come in for Andre Ooijer in defence and Demy de
    Zeeuw will replace Nigel de Jong. Both de Jong and Ooijer are one
    yellow card away from suspension.
