Netherlands destroys Italy and placed atop Group C of Euro

Italy had not won in Holland since 1978. And yesterday also won. Moreover, it did not win options at any time, for half an hour 'Clockwork Orange' and Marco Van Basten won 2-0.

The reigning world champions were not expecting such an orange bathroom. It's a luxury to see the national football team play, which displays his offensive game as fast and has a chance. In a European Championship where England, the leading offensive team in Europe, not among the participants, it is good that Holland reminds us that they also play this game.

Pirlo walked on land that were not theirs. Luca Toni did little on offense and Gattuso would your thing, we all know what it is. Against this background came Van Nistelrooy, one of the many 'Vans' they have in Holland, deflected a shot to Real Madrid (as is the style that marks Raul goal, that they say is on the rebound, or whatever but have as many as one from midfield) before the incredulous eyes of the Italian defense calling offside. A pity that there was a Italian player behind the line that broke the offside. If it were offside on that play, the opposing defenses would have a new tactic for the trap.

Sneijder Only ten minutes later, another Real Madrid (in this game and also had a few ex-few as Panucci and Cassano) culminated a beautiful counterattacking move Dutchman. 2-0 and the rest with victory in hand. But as with the Italians never know because they are much given to winning games in the final minutes, which inflames many people are not Italian, the Netherlands continued to play as you know. Van der Sar, who has played the test of years, saved a couple of balls angels. The Orange defense even allowed himself the luxury of risking unhealthy touch of the ball at the small area surrounded by Italian players.

And when it seemed that Italy would get on the scoreboard reduce distances via Pirlo, Van der Sar pulled another providential hand and against Gio (because his surname is very difficult to write) marked the third. End of story. 3-0 to Holland and many complications, the Italians will have to qualify.

France and Romania finished 0-0 in a match without much history, overshadowed by the great match that was then. Thus, the classification in Group C, the call of death and which will intersect with that of Spain in the quarterfinals, is thus:

1. Netherlands (3 points)
2 º. France (1 point)
2 º. Romania (1 point)
4 º. Italy (0 points)
