Euro 2008 - Delightful Dutch , Fragile France


The Dutch produced another masterclass to dump 2006 World Cup Finalist France 3-0. This was a week after the Dutch thrashed the defending World Cup Champion Italy 4-1.
The win ensure Holland qualify to the quarter-final. However, for the French, they will have to fight with the Italians for the second spot provided Romania do not win against the team in Orange.


Italians will have to thank Buffon for the penalty save from Mutu to earn his team a 1-1 draw against the Romanians. Like the French, they will have to win their last group game or face elimination.


It will be cruel that one of the heavyweights will have to take the early flight home. It will be a repeat of the 2006 World Cup Final in the last group game.
