With the number of upsets in Euro 2008 so far, will we witness another one in this live online and
radio commentary Euro 2008 quarterfinal between Holland and Russia live as one of the overwhelming
favourites will have to cope with the tactical genius of the Russian manager. It could turn out to
be a very cagey live online streaming match for the Dutch as while they claim to be one happy
bunch, their traditional choker tag might come back to haunt them as there are a few of them in
there like Van Persie and Arjen Robben.
One doesn't have to be exceedingly brilliant to be an agent. Can be just the opposite, in fact.
Pretty sure Arjen Robben's agent, Tscheu La Ling, also a long time Ajax player, falls under the
latter category. Arjen, more commonly known as Mr. Glass, is currently hurt. Shocking, I know. Not
because he's injury prone, [.
For all those of you who understand a bit of Italian (at least enough to scan through headlines of
sports websites), the big boot's topic of conversation these past few days gravitated around a
Dutch-Romanian "biscotto". Huh? Biscotto? Doesn't that mean "biscuit"? Indeed
it does, but in the language of Dante Alighieri it also has [.
Robinho's absence due to an abdominal muscle tear he suffered against Valladolid a couple weeks ago
is casting a huge shadow over the Santiago Bernabeau. Real Madrid is in shambles, not just the
midfield but the entire team has been exposed as nothing but one dimensional unimaginative old
men(raul, ruud van nistelroy, guti, salgado, cannavaro, heinze), hard working uncreative strong
men(Baptista, Diarra), injury prone saviors(Pepe, Robben), frustrating but promising
youngsters(Drenthe, Marcelo, Higuain, Balboa, Torres) and the quality players who hold it all
together(Sergio Ramos, Casillas, Sneijder, Gago).
French sponsors take a cheeky pop at Arjen Robben and co. Clever ad, but the French may be laughing
the other side of the road if they're knocked out by Holland this evening. We'd like to see a C-Ron
Portuguese...
Rumors for this January transfer window is that AS Roma are interested in signing Arjen Robben &
Royston Drenthe from Real Madrid.
The first is Real Madrid winger Arjen Robben. The 23-year-old only signed for the Spanish-giants
in the summer, however he has struggled for form and fitness in the first half of the season.

THE BIG PICTURE
For starters, this is just a game in Group C, and all six will be worthy of watching with all three teams ranked in the top dozen in the world by FIFA.
Adrian Healy -- "It's a Dutch Oven, and the French are toast." Arjen Robben deserves his
own post, even if his bones are 50 percent glass. What a strike son. (All that was missing was for
Andy Gray to tell him to 'take a bow.' Wait a tic, he did just that for Wesley Sneijder's strike in
extra time -- which might have been better.
Balding Dutchman amazed by fake technology Real Madrid winger Arjen Robben sits in the changing
room when he is interrupted by the components of his boot arriving. It is not apparent what he was
intending to wear before the boot arrives as disjointed as the West Brom defence. It also remains
unclear what he is going [.
Real Madrid - Valladolid 7-0
1-0 Baptista
2-0 Raul

Comfortable win despite the absence of Ruud Van Nistelrooy!
It's the Guus Hiddink Grudge Match in Basel as Holland face Russia in quarterfinal #3. The current
Russia and former Holland coach said he hopes to earn the title of "the traitor of
Holland." If he's to do so, his men will have to bring down the tournament's highest-flying
team.
Holland stormed through the Group of Death, winning their three matches by a 9-1 margin.
WickedDeflection.com had a Euro 2008 fantasy football mini-league, in cooperation with
Soccernet.com, and as I was thinking about who I would put in a tournament 11, I cut and pasted the
players with point totals of 12 or more. I'm still looking for France players in the list. Strikers
Lukas Podolski,
While the goals are still fresh in our minds, I'd love to find out what your favorite goal of Euro
2008 was. As quid pro quo, my top five are below:
Five: Arjen Robben's near post rocket against France that helped crown the Netherlands the kings of
the Group of Death.
Four: Semih Senturk's 122nd-minute equalizer against Croatia to send this quarterfinal to
penalties.

Bei der Abstimmung zum besten Tor der EM 2008 auf der Website der UEFA hat Wesley Sneijder mit
40% der Stimmen klar gewonnen. Auch in diesem Video mit den Lieblingstoren von Youtube-Benutzer
vandervaartowned ist Sneijders herrliches Tor gegen Frankreich die Nummer 1. Die anderen 9 Tore aus
seiner Top 10 sind ebenfalls sehenswert, wenngleich die Bildqualität dürftig ist.
MADRID, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Real Madrid new boy Rafael van der Vaart scored a hat-trick to help the
champions thrash promoted Sporting Gijon 7-1 in the Primera Liga on Wednesday.
Sporting were subjected to a 6-1 beating at home to Barcelona on Sunday and were quickly on the
back foot at the Bernabeu as Netherlands midfielder Van der Vaart completed his hat-trick in the
46th minute.
Another quite strange and pointless viral by Adidas, this time featuring Real Madrid winger Arjen
Robben and his receeding hairline, promoting the Adidas f50 Tunit.
Julio Baptista. Goal! Raul. Goal! Robben. Goal! Raul. Goal! Guti. Goal! Guti. Goal! Drenthe. Goal!
With the exception of Werder Bremen at home in the Champions League, every team that has tried to
go toe to toe with Real Madrid and try to outplay us has been blown out. Valladolid joined this
club with a 7-0 loss to the Merengues.
It's been 18 years since we won back to back LA LIGA Championships, so it's unfortunate that I had
to miss the REAL MADRID victory over OSSASUNA. I'm sure my fellow NYC MADRIDISTAS were full of joy
and celebration and smoked several cigars in honor of us being crowned LA LIGA champions for the
31st time!
Ah the possibilities are endless on creating your own headline including the Dutch nickname. I'm
sure glad I got up at 5:30 AM to watch half two of France-Netherlands. Not only did I get to see a
decent performance out of Robin Van Persie - still not injured, keeping fingers crossed - I saw a
wonderful game played by the Dutch.
Here he is.. you can have him for £24 million!! Yesterday Barcelona bid £12 million and
was shot down like a dodo bird with Zenit saying he's worth £24 mill.
This strapping 27-year old fellow lead Zenit St Petersburg to the UEFA Cup victory. In the final he
managed to tally two assists in their dominating 2-0 victory against the Scottish side Rangers.
Real Madrid defeated Valencia with 9 men on the pitch. ok. Robinho didn't play. ok. Madrid played
better with Raul and Guti off the field. ok. Robben can't score, dribble, pass or take on defenders
better than Robinho but at least he can run down the right and left flanks with passionate strides
of skillful dribbling until Real Madrid figure out what to do with the outstanding Brazilian who
looks like he is on his way to Chelsea.
There was a time not so long ago that United seemed to lose out to Chelsea on transfers all the
time. Whether it was Arjen Robben or Michael Essien, the top talents in Europe wanted a piece of
Chelsea's money and sucess, whilst we settled for Djemba-Djemba shaped crumbs. The tides have
turned somewhat since then, [.
My little bro was in town so I skipped the game and took him to the BRONX ZOO. Based on the
highlights I saw and commentary it looks like I missed another SNOOZEFEST. Winning like this is
good for the standings but bad for the soul of a team that is supposed to be about attractive
'futbol'. Anyways here's what GOAL.
Benjamin Franklin once said there are only two certainties in life, death and taxes. We'll give Ben
the benefit of the doubt because he was a couple centuries early, plus he did a couple other mildly
intelligent things to pad his CV, but there are actually three certainties in life. So we can now
amend [.
Italy 1, Romania 1
Holland 4, France 1
Any questions? Holland continued their dream run through the Group of Death with a 4-1 win over
France. The win clinches the top spot in Group C for Marco Van Basten's men after a sweep of the
finalists from the 2006 World Cup. As they did in their opener, Holland took the early lead but
never let up on the pressure.
Liverpool's Dirk Kuyt opened the scoring as Holland continued their impressive start to Euro 2008
by defeating France 4-1 on Friday night. Kuyt headed home from a corner inside 20 minutes to give
Marco Van Basten's side the lead.
Holland, who defeated World Champions Italy 3-1 in their opening game, were impressive again with
Kuyt replaced at half time allowing Arjen Robben and Robin Van Persie to combine to make it 2-0.
Oranje will start in the same line up as it did against Italy and France. Khalid Boulahrouz will
play as right back and Engelaar will play as holding midfielder. Arjen Robben was supposed to play
but his groin injury has returned. Van Basten: "Arjen has trouble again. He won't be
Real Madrid will complete the signing of Dutch ace Rafael Van Der Vaart according to reports in the
Spanish newspaper Marca today.
Currently playing for Hamburg, Van Der Vaart is well above his depth at the Bundesliga club, and
has been linked with a move away from them for some time. Liverpool and Chelsea have also been
mentioned along with Madrid amongst the clubs vying to snatch up the 25 year old.
The La Liga outfit now sports four Dutch internationals after today's official announcement
concerning the acquisition of midfielder Rafael van der Vaart. The 25-year-old has penned a
five-year contract. Along with winger Arjen Robben, forward Ruud van Nistelrooy, midfielder
Wesley Sneijder, and youngster Royston Drenthe, Real Madrid looks prepared to field an
Oranje-centric squad.
Robben for PSV Some years ago, PSV broke with tradition by attracting young Dutch players to play
in Eindhoven. Think Mark van Bommel, Wilfred Bouma, Kevin Hofland, John de Jong and Arjen Robben.
This summer, PSV does it again. Director Jan Reker presented PSV's new signing, FC Groningen talent

After watching last night's Roma,Real Madrid replay its obvious Real suffered with the absence of
Van Nistelroy and Arjen Robben. The Dutch duo could have provided some teeth to the Madrid
attack.
On a positive note as a Roma fan,a mark of a good team is Roma understood how to kill off a wounded
team.
Italy 1, Romania 1
Holland 4, France 1

France. The win clinches the top spot in Group C for Marco Van Basten's men after a sweep of the

Forget that Group C is the 'Group of Death,' I AM THE KISS OF DEATH!!
Not only has Italy failed to win a game so far but in every other game that I wanted a
team to win - they haven't!!
In yesterday's games Chelsea players past and present had significant
contributions.
The second round of the group phase is in the books, which means it's time to pin a shining blue
ribbon on the lapel of its most exciting goal. Once again, I'll be pronouncing a winner from the
Olympian heights of being the only person who knows my account password, but you're warmly invited
to [...
