Euro 2008: Netherlands-France highlights

Group stage match between Oranje and Les Bleus. Sadly some key parts of the game are missing, but I didn't have the camera handy.

What a fucking crap video. There's nothing to see there.

[Neelzfinch]

Try watching it on high quality. Still, if you expect quality images I recommend watching the games on TV. The video is not really about the game itself, but rather the atmosphere around it. Hope I cleared that up.

inderdaad, aangeschoten hands bestaat niet, want hands houdt in dat je de bal met opzet met de hand/arm aanraakt. In dit geval zeker geen opzet, dus kun je niet eens van hands spreken.

im sorry but aangeschoten hands bestaad NIET

een speler mag de hele wedstrijd zijn handen NIET aan de ball komen ook als hij er tegen aan geschoten word meestal kijken de schijds rechter er wel nog even of het voordeel is maar aangeschoten hands bestaat dus gewoon ECHT niet

Alphastar:It's the definition of "deliberately" which is the problem. Who's to say whether it was deliberate or not? It's up to the player to get his hands out of the way instead of saying "hey, I didn't do it deliberately!". Yeah right. We believe you. Just when I was scoring a goal that would have damaged your morale and boosted ours. I am not whining, btw. I am just showing you how it really is. I actually liked the way the dutch played and am going to follow them, see if they stay lucky. :D

[Onaryc59]

Alphastar: (...) The only thing is to create goal opportunities and take a shot at the goal. France had more opportunities than the dutch, but the dutch shots were more successful. Why? Because they aim better? I don't think so. They even look surprised themselves when they score, just look at the videos. They're happy to win, and good for them, I'm not even that into football, in fact. But they do look surprised to be so lucky, considering they didn't have that many goal opportunities.

[Onaryc59]

Alphastar: Football at a certain level is a game of chance. Two inches to the right, the ball goes in, you're the champion, two inches to the left, ball goes out, you're nobody. That's what YOU have to admit. The best thing to do to realize that is to ask any goal scorer who managed a fantastic shot to do it again in exactly the same way. You'd find out they can't do it. And I felt exactly the same way when France beat Brazil 3-0 in 1998 and became champions of the world. (...)

it's a skill to put the ball in the net. The French obviously didn't possess that skill. Look, you can hide it behind 'luck' or 'bad luck' but if you get a great opportunity and fail to put the ball in the net, its your own damn fault and not bad luck.
