Ok, I won't make this long but a couple of things:
1.) The ref. lol. He missed a lot of crucial calls. He made a few correct ones (most 2nd yellows were spot on) and a lot of poor ones (most 1st yellows were gay). In the end, he was bad for everybody.
2.) Our play. I mean, seriously, I'm almost ashamed to be Dutch. We can play here *points at foot* no problem. But playing football here *points at head* is a different matter entirely. We had no combination play, way too many selfish actions, a stupendous amount of silly ball loss and some defending that literally almost made me cry. Walk back, walk back walk back (with 3/4 men against 1 nonetheless), get passed, make foul. I mean, fuck off. Didn't deserve to win this.
3.) The coach. I had faith in Basten but he let me down. The first red for Portugal couldn't have come at a better time. It allowed Basten to puzzle n play in half time but nothing came out of it. Where was Nistelrooy? I'm suspecting there was some kind of altercation between Ruud and Basten earlier and that's why he didn't play. It was stupid, I daresay Ruud would have made a goal had he been playing. He should've been on the pitch 3 secs after the first red for Portugal.
4.) As a Dutchman and a fan, I'm disappointed. As a fan of football itself I just had a ripping good laugh.
To sum it up: We had some bad luck, a maniacal referee and a stubborn coach. But in the end we forgot to play football. Totally forgot. And Portugal didn't. That's why they're going through and we're not.

Right, one final comment about Portugal (which technically played a better match than us, must be said):
What a bunch of dirty dogs. When a dutchman gets pissed off he simply pushes one of those Portugese. But the sardine-men have to go low and dirty with little kicks to the head when on the ground n shit. Really dirty. Not an excuse for the loss, and i have nothing against "manly football", but this wasn't "manly football" but childish and dirty. Example: last minute kicks against v/d sar with that final chance for portugal. So fucking dirty.
I hope England bags em.
