I had to go out for dinner half way through extra time - but the resulting celebrations at the bar across the street kind of gave the result away.
Not much point in watching what I recorded..... :bah:

Another thing we should point out is that last night the country celebrated the victory on the streets and at bars - and NO arrests!!
I'd like to see that happen in some other countries......

... it was in self-defense |
umm.....the official had his back to him, so he really wasn't much of a threat at all.

yes it was, he was about to fart that swiss player to pieces
holland has qualified too (we're 2nd in the world ranking i believe) but isnt nearly good enough to win the championship at the moment imo...
ah well congratz to all the unlikely qualifiers
