Looking forward to tomorrows game.

The Dutch have been my 'dark horse' team from day one. I really thought Arjen's injury would slow them down in group qualifying but they had a couple breaks along the way before making it through undefeated. I agree with you about flair but they are showing well when it really counts - as opposed to many cups when they seem to peak too early and then fizzle on so much promise in the knockout games.
Major bummer about Muller missing the game tomorrow but I think the Germans can get through if the shut down Villa as he has shown to be their finisher so far in the tourney. I would like to see FIFA review their carding policy when they take a look at instant replay - the biggest games should have the sports biggest stars on stage.
