It is nice to see the Dutch bench enjoying themselves and to be honest they have every right to. Having defeated France and Italy with relative ease they are going into the quarter finals the favourites with most bookies giving them odds of 7/2. And so they should be favourites having scored on average 3 goals a game while only conceeding 1 goal. No team in this Championship has a better goal difference.
However they are not the only team to be going into the quarter finals with some confidence. Spain definately have the most lethal strike force in the world at the moment. David Villa and Fernado Torres have lived up so far to all expectations and I would not want to be in the Italy defence on Sunday, they will certainly have their work cut out for them.
So far I have been plesently suprised by this tournment. I was very happy to see both Russia and Croatia get through to the QF (maybe the FA sacked McClaren too soon???? yeah right!)But at least if anything it helps me hold unto the fact that England aren't completely useless (yeah right I hear you cry again).
So I advise you to kick back, enjoy the rest of the tournament and watch Italy win it with a bunch of boring 1-0 results.
