Netherlands should've lost big time from chec republik! Don't denie it. How many times did the bar and post save Holland from a devistating 4-0 loss???? OH yeah, nice dive de boer made! Matheaus himself coudent have done it better!

At least Belgium can make real goals! Diving for a penaltie is so weak, i spit on de boer PtewiE!!!

Now, I'm getting pissed...

First, yes the Czechs should have won big time, I agree.
But have you seen tha replay of the penalty situation? No? I should have thought so..cuz u can clearely see the defender holding his shirt for a long tim and pulling it..and yes he helped alot with the dive - BUT it was a penalty, unfortunately...

SECOND - BELGIUM SCORE REAL GOALS!!! That was funny. Yes one real goal after a real blunder in defense.
The other one Mpenza used his hand to get the ball with him - don't deny that!!!

Out for now...

BTW I have been very angry at the refs so far but Collina really showed class and I am very upset if not he will take the final!!

Your hatred for Holland is blinding you, LS. Sure, the czech side should have won, but they failed to score the goal. The penalty was a harsh decision, but de Boer had definitly had his shirt pulled. The dive was a bit unnecessary, but I believe the Belgians are also famous for faking......

WC qualifier 1986: Vercauteren gets a little push from Kieft, he goes down like he has been killed, Kieft got a red card, Belgium through to the 1986 world championships.....)

Hey L.S.,
Did I miss something here? Are you on a personal vendetta against the Dutch? Man get real, it WAS a penalty. The dive was theatrical, but it was about time that the dutch learned a little form their colleagues. That´s modern football man!! I didn´t hear any of your northern neighbours complaining about belgiums match which could also have gone the other way.
Unfortunately it´s not always the best team that wins....
I felt is was a very entertaining game and of very god quality. This is what I like to see.
I´m looking forward to Portugal-England tommorrow.....
And if in the final a belgian player makes a dive and gets a penalty and belgium wins, will you feel sad...?

Ok, so now the dutch have learned from their colleagues to cheat, not something to be proud of. They learned to cheat and play dirty however in world cup 98. Remember Kluivert giving Staelens an ellbow in the chest???? Staelens wanted to help kluivert up, and what did he get in return????

you won't see a belgian doing that!

I dont think kluivert is a good example, he is killing and raping in real life so why should he behave on the field? The sooner we loose him the better!

hey Lorenzo Staelens
remember the Czechs in euro 96? paborsky to be specific. he dove like a fag in the final when sammer barely laid a hand on him. and even worse, the challenge was outside the area and a penalty was given. don't be a hipocrit when it comes to hating teams because of diving. everyone does it.

It was a dive

bit harsh pindasoft??

Pindasoft right on the money, Kluivert is a rotten scoundrel human being...

Rob- Poborsky was not a dive, Sammer took out his legs from behind, the only bad thing about that call was Sammer should have been send off because he was the last defender.

Every time in soccer that ****ed off germany get all the luck... now finally after all those years we have finally some luck, and we get killed by the media... **** off... We are still the best watch us... were gonna growwwww..... and about Belgium... I can score a goal like Mpenza to... why just dont pick up the ball with your hands an throw it behind their keeper? sjeez...
