- LimeParrot, on 06/18/2008, -0/+31Dugg for football + digg front page.
- ericnicolaas, on 06/18/2008, -1/+26Italy are in trouble against Spain though, with Pirlo and Gattuso both out suspended. That will be a very interesting match.
- martyfarty, on 06/18/2008, -3/+25Thank god Holland didn't take a dive! I bet Italy would have if they were in the same position.
- bjarkebech, on 06/18/2008, -1/+22Netherlands seem to be the surprise this time.
- rohit4381, on 06/18/2008, -2/+21The Dutch are flying away the way they are playing.. They can beat any team on their day ... The best counterattacking soccer i have seen for a long time. They are playing beautiful football the way it's meant to be.. and to top the group of death in this fashion was awesome.. I hope Orange is the color for Euro 2008.
- mnsisgreen, on 06/18/2008, -1/+18Romania played like crap, one of the worst displays at this year's Euro. Italy deserved to go through, and I say this as a romanian that was ashamed yesterday when the dutch wanted for us to win more than our players did.
- beerput, on 06/18/2008, -4/+20Go Holland, hup holland hup :D, we rule european soccer!
- thedivinelyevil, on 06/18/2008, -1/+17Euro 2008 on Digg??? Certainly a pleasant surprise!
GO GERMANY!!!! (I know what the article is about.... i do!) - inactive, on 06/18/2008, -5/+20It was a shame that Italy got the penalty kick and France a red card. There was little hope from then on. And when Henry deflected the ball into his own goal from a free kick, it was sealed.
France just isn't as strong without Zidane and their other players from the world cup. - mone5681, on 06/18/2008, -4/+16finally soccer is on popular page!
- Perceptor, on 06/18/2008, -2/+14Even the French bus driver had troubles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83Goh1Lh8Pg
- Castor385, on 06/18/2008, -3/+14We've seen that again Holland..... 3-0
- dsmx, on 06/18/2008, -1/+11Finally football is on the front page.
- Born4Surf, on 06/18/2008, -1/+10Weird how this got to front page. Italy are lucky to still be in after Romania penalty miss. My money is on Spain
- radarbeam, on 06/18/2008, -3/+11Watching a game against Italy is like watching a Soap Opera. These Italian players are the best when it comes to faking an injury ...
- iashraf, on 06/18/2008, -1/+9A Holland v Portugal final would be epic. But Holland will win this year, no doubt.
- davidbrown2, on 06/18/2008, -1/+8Used to be a fan of Italy, then I started to notice a trend, Every time Italy win, they usually play dirty to get there, now, I never saw the game last night so it may have been different, two games come to mind in particular. The final of the world cup, and when they last played Scotland, Both times some of the Italian players resorted to playing dirty.
Now, I don't condone Zidanes headbutt, but, he shouldn't have to take abuse in the first place.
Then of course there is this atrocity

The more I think about it - I dislike Italian Football! - PointAndStare, on 06/18/2008, -0/+7HUP HOLLAND HUP!!!
- tomega, on 06/18/2008, -5/+12But who likes Italian footbal anyway?
- blumpyX, on 06/18/2008, -1/+8no mate
i have really enjoyed this tournament without:
-everyone in office talking about england / upcoming matches / us getting kicked out
-english fans at the tournament
-pundits / commentators constantly talking about england during other matches (though we still get a mention in every match)
-Paul Robinson and fat lampard
alanr19 is a bell whiff though - sk11, on 06/18/2008, -2/+8France were also very unlucky to lose Ribery. But their ten man squad still held up well against Italy, just goes to show that Italy didn't deserve to go through. Although Buffon was excellent. Unlucky for France and Romania.
- inactive, on 06/18/2008, -0/+6I backed them at 16s before the it started. The whole Van Basten/Van Nistelrooy thing is sorted out and helped calm them all down and get their heads right. They also have no moaners on their squad or big players being tapped up by other clubs looking to transfer. These are the things to look out for.
- godzillaWax, on 06/18/2008, -1/+7? He's not even the best goalkeeper in this tournament.
- godzillaWax, on 06/18/2008, -0/+5So youre saying Adidas having one logo of three stripes is the same as Puma putting their logo three times on a jersey? I applaud your bizarro math skills.
- inactive, on 06/18/2008, -1/+6It was a bad display. But at least Romania didn't come bottom of their group. There's some concelation in that.
- jenel, on 06/18/2008, -1/+6NL practically handed the game to RO, but we didn't care. It looked as NL was a cat that had just caught a mouse and was playing with it instead of eating it. ***** Romanian players, it's because of games like this we will never even get to the finals.
- inactive, on 06/17/2008, -6/+11OMG this means that Italy will go on playing
.... and during the games you can drive your car upside down in any of the desert streets. A country of ghost towns! - homanh, on 06/18/2008, -2/+7stfu italy played ***** in world cup 2006, they had to cheat to win the finals, and italian games are the most boring games to have blessed football.
Wish that you never see italy 1-0 ahead, because you may as well turn the tv off right then instead of watching 11 men ***** about, time wasting for the other 60 mins. - godzillaWax, on 06/18/2008, -1/+5Can we all take a minute to tell Puma to go ***** itself. Is it really necessary to have their logo three times on the jersey? (once on each shoulder, once over the heart)
- blumpyX, on 06/18/2008, -1/+5was in amsterdam this weekend watching some matches, loads of screens every where, happy attitude, sexy women and good beer and excellent football. You have my support
- felyduw, on 06/18/2008, -0/+4Semi-finals (my prediction):
Portugal vs Croatia and Netherlands vs Italy
Final:
Portugal vs Netherlands - TwiztedDezign, on 06/18/2008, -2/+6Zidane is a ***** legend. That mofo had some mad ***** skills. Unlike those cheating Italians. Hahaha.
- MisterEX, on 06/18/2008, -4/+8España! España!!
- SonnyW, on 06/18/2008, -0/+4I'm hoping Italy loses to Spain just for the fact that Holland vs Spain could be a very open, interesting match.
- TwiztedDezign, on 06/18/2008, -0/+4I agree. They are a a footballing machine running at full RPMs presently. Although Im pulling for Spain, its been a pleasure watching the Dutch play.
- inactive, on 06/18/2008, -1/+4I think the italians are to old to win it too. Imagine Villa and Torres running riot against the old boys in defense. It'll be a turkey-shoot.
- inactive, on 06/18/2008, -0/+3Last-man fouls are always punished with a red card, you know?
- NihilFist, on 06/18/2008, -0/+3As a romanian I can only agree with you. The game against France was pathetic, and last night's match was... pure crap. I almost feel happy that Holland beat us, maybe it will kick some sense in their heads.
- phatbyte, on 06/18/2008, -1/+4As a portuguese I have to disagree ;) hehe
- diecastbeatdown, on 06/18/2008, -1/+4wrong, france just needs a new manager. domenech you suck!
- godzillaWax, on 06/18/2008, -2/+5Besides putting on 9 new starters, how exactly did NL hand the game to RO? Holland practically dominated from start to finish.
- jenel, on 06/18/2008, -1/+3They basically just danced around the field for the whole first half.
- PatoLucas, on 06/18/2008, -3/+5I can bet you that not even italians :)
- 3leggedHorse, on 06/18/2008, -0/+2The French were totally useless and the Italians poor. France down to ten men, all those shots that were not on target by Italy.
A good team and that game would have been over at half time.
I am with the orange shirt crew. - andymazzu, on 06/18/2008, -1/+3not even superman could have saved those shots.
- springo, on 06/18/2008, -0/+2Spain FTW! This year we'll make it past quarter finals!
- NihilFist, on 06/18/2008, -0/+2@godzillaWax
They didn't exactly wait and say "OK, here's the ball... go for the goal". All they did was tone down their play... for the first half at least, because they ***** us up the ass in the second. I agree with 'jenel', ***** the romanian team. - stenk, on 06/18/2008, -0/+2HUP HOLLAND
I would love to see a Netherlands VS Portugal final - duser4, on 06/18/2008, -2/+4Yea. You world champions finally managed to win a game in your group. Congrats.
They always blame their loss on someone or something else. True champions. -
