Well, well, well…lots of surprises so far in the QS’s! I guess the bookies made a fortune from this Euro. Netherlands and Russia will play in the third quarterfinal. Another surprise? I wouldn’t be surprised

Netherlands is probably the best Euro team so far with so many quality players. On the other hand, Russia with a dutch coach, is the youngest squad at Euro. I never thought these young players will be able to go so far in the competition and theit lack of experience at this level might be a serious minus against the top dutch players.

Holland is already qualified for quarterfinals while Romania needs to win or to draw (depending on the other match result) in order to go through. Interesting is that Romania can also loose at no more than two goals difference providing that France and Italy will draw 0-0.

Netherlands and Romania were in the same qualifying group where Romania managed to get a goaless draw in Rotterdam and to win 1-0 at home so Romania finished top of the group while Holland finished second.

Other thing to mention is that Netherlands will probably rest a few of their main players trying to keep them away from yellow cards and potential injuries. I expect a great football game and probably Romania will win by a small margin. Also a draw might be possible, less probable but still there…

Netherlands comes after a historical victory against Italy and they proved to be one of the most entertaining teams at Euro. The impressive display in the previous match should only give them a fantastic moral boost for the coming matches.

France never had any chance against a very well organized romanian team and they seemed to be happy with a goaless draw. The trouble is that from now on they will need at least a victory so they will probably do their best against Holland. If Henry will be fit enough to play that should be a great plus in their ofensive.

In the second match of Group C, Holland will meet the World Champions, Italy. As I have said in my previous post, I wouldn’t recommend anyone to bet on Group C matches unless he likes adrenaline. This match can stand for a final anytime and anywhere, both of the teams have top quality players, able to make the difference.

This is the match where the dutch total football concept meets the conservative italian style. Italy comes from a pretty fair qualifying campaign while Holland had a not so successful one. Still the dutch have a mature and solid team capable to go all the way to the finals.

Our tip for Netherlands – Italy is 1x , most probably a draw. You may also want to play “under 2,5″ as I don’t think there will be many goals.

One of the top teams in Europe, Netherlands had a half successful qualifying campaign finishing second in their group, being defeated twice by Belarus and Romania. It is part of what the specialists call “The Group of Death” at Euro, together with Italy, France and Romania.

Having quite a lot of quality players, Holland is one of the favourites of the Euro 2008. I believe that any two teams going to quarterfinals from Group C will have real chances to play the final and win the tournament.

Here is the complete list of 23 dutch players for Euro:

1 Edwin van der Sar
2 André Ooijer
3 John Heitinga
4 Joris Mathijsen
5 Giovanni van Bronckhorst
6 Demy de Zeeuw
7 Robin van Persie
8 Orlando Engelaar
9 Ruud van Nistelrooy
10 Wesley Sneijder
11 Arjen Robben
12 Mario Melchiot
13 Henk Timmer
14 Wilfred Bouma
15 Tim de Cler
16 Maarten Stekelenburg
17 Nigel de Jong
18 Dirk Kuyt
19 Klaas Jan Huntelaar
20 Ibrahim Afellay
21 Ryan Babel
22 Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink
23 Rafael van der Vaart
Coach: Marco van Basten
