Well, it's just going to be a self-fulfilling prophecy if that's really what's inside the players heads.
And trust me, we have (or 'had have'?) those too... Which why I hate penalties in the knockout stage. I just HATE them. I just think about 92, 96, 98, 2000...
Not until 2004 that we managed to win a shootout against Sweden. You'd think the curse will have to be lifted, but nonetheless, I have to change my underwear three times during a shootout.
Mexico was well underway to win. But some tactical changes in the second half made the Netherlands a lot better than Mexico. They just didn't know how to handle the new 4-3-3, Mexican players just we're out of their positions. The equalizer was well deserved based on that second half. The penalty, I've seen it dozens of times now, from different angles, and yes, Robben was overacting like the dramaqueen he can be sometimes, but it was clearly a penalty.
I understand you hate the acting, but denying it was a penalty is a bridge too far. The first one in the first half should already have been one, and the second one he tried to claim was a clear dive, for which he apologized after the match.

Well, at least you made it to the right side of the brackets. It's an easier road, arguably. aside from playing Algeria, you'll only meet the big countries after that. The other side still has Argentina but the rest is 'doable'.

What a lunatic...
a Swedish bookie layed 175:1 odds that he would bite again.
There were actually two people who took those odds and are now a few hundred and one even 1500 euro richer bij only betting a few euro lol.

Yes but so far, I'm enjoying the hell out of it!
Only too bad that three times already those late goals (Switzerland including) all screwed up my predictions in my pools.

I'm both excited and scared for this World Cup. Just as 90% of the Dutch, I don't expect us to last very long. And I don't know if we'd enjoy that either. That being said, can't wait to begin! Expectations are low and it can't get any worse than Euro 2012. Hup Holland!

Thanks mate! not really a drinking night tomorrow I'm going to keep it low key this year. Just invited a few of my buddies to come over Saturday and watch football. Got the 'Het grote erger je wel voetbalspel' from my colleagues so that will be fun to play afterwards. Will probably end up in the pub.

I enjoyed King's Night and Day!
Easily, maybe with Carnaval, the best festivity in the Netherlands. Now I have a day off at work, and well deserved I think considering I've had a few 60-70h work weeks because of the launch of our new web site.
Now, today, it's just nothing but me and my series. Binge watching time!
