I see. Its yours contribution to Holland economics. But so its not a fair trade between you and them. They are winning with the deal. I cannot see how Advocaat can help Belgium to play better 😐

that should have been "we don't dumb..."
well, how about we actually WIN next time 😛

Oh HECK.

That is REALLY poor luck for Italy.

And with Italy's departure, that is a five-botes team gone. Spain at 3 votes already gone, one way or anoither Germany or Holland are going tomorrow... I think it is only Portugal going through, which was close, that is preventing this being a bookies nightmare.

GP said italy is out 😊

go greece! go denmark! go underdog! 😊
bbye spain and italy, now hopefully germany will follow

I think that has to be the least fortunate tournament exit I ever saw. Italy have certainly set a points record for elimination, having not actually lost a game.

Sweden/Denmark 2-2!! guess what the Italian papers will be writing tomorrow ... 😛

Line! you're through! just like I said 😄

yeah, those italians will rather talk about how they got screwed over in it, instead of the iltalians lack of actualy WINNING a game... draws are not important in this game, wins are

😱 I must read italian newspapers tomorrow

But the Italians did win a game. It's harsh, however you look at it.

They tried and they are out with two draws and a victory. Bad luck.

take the pink paper 😊

Frankly, though, the two better teams of the group have gone through. But to get that last-gasp stuff-of-dreams game winning goal that makes you THINK you have gone through, and then find out that Sweden/Denmark shut you out at the last moment in their own game in turn... that has to destroy hearts. The Italians will conspiracy theory this until the end of time, which objectively is unfair as the Swedes and Danes played very aggressively (though I am sure neither team felt like straining themselves unduly for the last minute of play).

The Italians would actually have been happier to have drawn that game, I think, and lost the Tournament in a less horrific way.

yes. the conspiracy theory is probably unavoidable. I'll be looking you over the shoulder, Corlindel, to see what they'll come up with 😉

and yerssot was right! what's this world coming to ...

it means that the world ... or at least some bookmakers, will gimme some money 😉

And if Latvia wins the Cup? 😑

then I technically get pretty much everything they, their children, their grandchildren till the grandchildren of the grandchildren can earn

Why should Italy feel screwed out of a championship they didn't even perform well in?

It's a bit crazy that we're up against the host on Thursday. Time to show Portugal who's boss.

yeah, portugal 😄

Latvia will play today 🙂

Go Latvia 😱
