Mbye,
Did you know that the very Dutch team that trashed Yugoslavia 6 - 1 last
weekend, lost to Morocco 2 - 1 and drew with Ghana 0 - 0, just few months ago?
The Dutch team have won more matches in Euro 2000 (4) than the whole of the
past 2 years. Before the Championship Holland played 16 matches and won 3, drew
11 and lost 2. Just few months ago they drew 0 - 0 with Denmark, but during the
tournament they won 3 - 0 from the Danes. Your "12th man effect" or rather Johan
Cruijff's effect may have been responsible. After the first round matches,
Cruijff openly criticized the team for not doing their utmost. The answer to his
criticism was what the "boys" did against Yugoslavia.
On 2nd July the truth will out.

Ebrima Ceesay and all footie lovers:
I am leaning towards a Portuguese and Dutch finals in Rotterdam based on
these poiters:
a) The French may not be able to dominate midfield and that will be the
battle ground. Portugal is a much better ball handling team than any of the
semi-finalist. Figo will not stopped! Their only weakness is in defense, and
I'm saying that because England scored two goals against it.
b) The Spanish game took a lot out of the French, it would be hard for them
to be mentally levelled tomorrow, whilst Portugal had a much easier time
againt the Turks.
Not insinuating that the Dutch will have a cake walk over the Italians, but
its in Amsterdam; the 12th man effect and the emotional hype after trashing
the Yugos 6-1. Edgar Davids will neutralize the Italian midfield.
Regards
Baboucarr Sillah
