It must have been the copious amounts of Oranjeboom that you gave the Brazilians before the match icon_biggrin.gif

Well, if it is, then you will get 125% of my support.
However, with family connections in Madrid, and it is Holland Vs Spain

The England team are still hurting for most years between 67 and now icon_cry.gif

Thanks for the support.

About Spain i cant say anything, cause we never lost from Spain
in world/european cup finals.

But after today we will know against who we play, and sunday will
be the moment of truth.

Expat,

thats ok with me. Germany was so damned bad, it would have been a
shame to have to play against them.
Good luck for you and have a nice time sunday.

Paul the Psychic Squid is now predicting the Dutch are going to win.
But then the choice between Spanish or Dutch mussels was not difficult.
The Dutch mussels are the best.

Anyway, i dont care. That the best may win.
