Oh my, brave words mr rossi, hope they don't come back to haunt you. Wait, I do hope they come back to haunt you, BIG TIME !!
If you think Holland is not going to score you had better look again at today's game. Half the goals would've been scored against any team, good or bad defence. Bergkamp was brilliant at times, Davids too delivered brilliantly.
Zambrotta is right, give credit where credit is due, yugo didn't suck as much as Holland played them out of it.
What about the ref ? I thought he was pretty good, only one yellow too.

Why don't you ever give credit when credit is due? Holland played a brillian match, attacking almost all the time.
Yes, the Yugoslavian defense was pathetic, but Italy would have NEVER taken so much profit of it like Holland did.
You should start praying for thursday instead...

How can I give credit when they played against an awfull team that even a team like Iran could beat them .Im sure Norway would of done a better job.The only credit I give Holland is the fact that they took advantage of that crap Yugoslavia.Btw,im not scared of Holland ,I know Italy's defense will be very solid that Holland will not score ,but im not confident that Italy can score ,cause most of their goals scored where from errors from their opponents .I predict the game will go on penalty shootout .

Rossi you are digging yourself in a hole here
have a look at the dutch midfield and the form they are in....Zenden and Davids are playing brilliantly!
Bergkamp has found form again and Kluivert....well do i need to say anything.
Italy are going to need to attach and attack well to win this one!

Im not saying that holland aint a good team ,but anyone could of destroyed Yugoslavia yesterday ,and yes Yugoslavia's defense was horrible,they were always out of their positions wich created many opening in their own box .Italy's D(defense) aint like Yugoslavia's D so it wont be as open as Yugoslavia's D.The only worry that I have for Italy is their offense ,but so far they have scored an average of 2 goals per game .
