Holland B v Italy U21 about to kick off

don't think little Italy will concede 4 goals the 1st half like Germany. Good luck to the fullback having to face Elia.

Italy playing with some superstars : 1-0 Holland after 22 minutes.

Siem de Jong

Triple deflection in the 45th minute : 1-1 halftime.

Finally we've found a more annoying leprechaun than Sneijder : Giovinca.

He's good, but he's so fucking annoying with all his diving and whining. That's what all the Italians are good at it appears....

It did get them back in the game though, I expect a heated second half....and if we lose our temper (very likely) they'll beat us.

Dirty Ballotelli should have been sent off

We're also good at winning the World Cup. Something you guys are shit at.

Oooh how sweet. Germany and Italy, the 2 top countries of Europe banging on the Netherlands. The size of just your average region in your country.

yeah, I been watching a bit. Pretty shitty England team to be honest. I swear Milner will be playing for the U21s till the day he retires. He's 23, ffs!

Germanys U21 only managed to draw 1-1 at home to Belarus U21.

To the endless belt of talent

Germany´s U21 is crap. They won their playoffs against France, though.

When she starts acting like a man I'll call her Giovinco, as long as she behaves like a little girl I'll call her Giovinca

Well if the price is selling your soul.....and apparently that's what it takes, as you and the Germans have proven time and time again....then we're happy to pass

Fucking bunch of annoying cheats

Holland produced Mark Van Bommel, right?

No? Yes?


Yes... Just checking.

This is quite rich considering a certain Arjen Robben is Dutch.

Anyway, how does it feel to have a girl score against you?

Apparently there is some Nigerian in Babel.

A bit of 419 methinks.

that was a sick foul. He behaved like a cun t all match anyway. Maybe they made Zlatan his mentor.

size has NOTHING to do with it, once a country crosses a certain minimum

of maybe 7 million

Holland is WAY beyond that

in fact, Holland has a HUGE advantage over Germany in that it can allow its talents to get regular playing time in the "minor" Eredivisie before they move on to the bigger leagues

it's FAR EASIER for a Dutch talent to develop than for a German

most of our kids suffer from a talent bottleneck

if they are lucky to get a few minutes in the Bundesliga they have to CREATE FIREWORKS IMMEDIATELY , or they are out, unless the club is so poor that they have to stick with the kids

Meyer at Bayern, the 19 year old, gets 20 minutes against Sporting, scores and gets an assist, and already in the next Bundesliga game he is sitting on the bench and Klinsi prefers to play with only Poldi at the front because he cannot trust the talent

the brutal truth is

Holland should be doing FAR BETTER considering the circumstances

You can say that again Otto

Meyer, Müller, what's a common German name between friends...

It was more a reply to what Axes said.

But anyway, size has little to do with it because it's not like the Dutch have never had the talent or strength in depth.
