Well, that was bizarre, who would have thunked it.

Still, I personally think they deserve it for going all defensive against Sweden when they had them for the taking.

fully agree, thas wh i wanted NL to the other night when advocaat took of his wingers and put on his defensive players.

wp nordic boys

I think the Italian's shocking behaviour in the run up to the game where they've basically accused Sweden and Denmark of cheating was despicable. If it had just been the Italian media then I probably wouldn't have had a problem, but with the players suggesting things too - just pissed me off.

Glad to see the ****ers go home, in truth.

4 da yung punks:

tbh, i fink dey deservd 2 go oot. Mainly cos dey ave stupid thin gold numbrs on der baks n can u fink of anova team where da main colour of da kit (blue) has nutin 2 do wit da flag of da country (red white n green)

For the old timers:

To be honest, i think they deserved to go out. Mainly because they have stupid thin gold numbers on their backs, and can you think of another team where the main colour of their football kit (blue) has nothing to do with the flag of the country (red, white and green)

See why cant you type like that everytime matt, the other version just makes you look retarded. To keep on topic though, yeah Italy didnt do enough to go through, they were unlucky to a degree but their preformances put them in that position of requiring some luck.

matt2win heh funny reply

That said though, why does our main strip have blue in

hmm why does : | make a sorta angry smiley :/

wtf is the dutch stip orange? Hmm?

Again the flag is red/white/blue horizontal stripe.

And our main strip has blue coz the union jack is mostly blue, even though that aint Englands flag.

I think the blue will be gone in a few strips time and revert to all white with a tad bit of red, tbh i allways prefered white shorts to blue looked tidier.

hehehe

Good point about holland though, I guess it depends how proud, or just interested a nation is in their flag. Just look at America.

I love the St Georges cross but cant stand the union jack.

In reguard to the Dutch kit.

The flag of the Netherlands is a red, white, and blue horizontal tricolor that was officially adopted on February 19, 1937, but has been used since the 1700s. The ratio of its height to its width is 2:3.

The Netherlands became independent from Spain in the 1500s. Its first flag was an orange, white and blue striped flag (called the Prinsvlag) which was based on the colors of William of Orange, the first ruler of the Dutch Republic. The orange dye in the early flags faded over time to red, so in the mid 1700s, the orange in the flag was changed to red. The Netherlands has been a kingdom since 1814 (after the Napoleonic Wars).

Scrappy loves Google

heh we await resetters reply

You learn something everyday

Italy deserve it, totti is a pikey for spitting, who cares if he was being man marked... so was rooney and he managed to score! Czech republic/England to win tbh

Italy should stop whining about a 2-2 draw and worry about the other 2 games they failed to win.
