Great game by Italy. Luca Toni played a awesome game, opening space between the fragile french defense. Anyway, Holland deserve to lose against Italy just because they beat Romania and didn't eliminated two aces in a single hand

i think the dutch behaved like true sportsmen and took the chance to show they have a great second team as well.
they however also missed the chance to eliminate 2 very strong opponents with a loss... true!
i still ask myself if that was really a good decision... (even tho i give biggest respect for it!). if they would bust out against italy that would be indeed very bad! XD

I was hoping that both italy and france would fail to qualify - they both deserve to be out in the cold for once But, italy is through to the next round where spain will beat them
