Another great win by Holland, but France (and Italy) had a lot of chances against them and it'll be interesting to see how they react to going behind as so many of their goals have been scored on fast counterattacks when the other team was attacking. Romania were successful against Holland in the qualifying group by playing with a massed defence, neutralising Holland's speed and denying them space to run into. Holland have topped the group regardless of what happens in the last round of matches, so they might rest players and if Romania win then both the World Cup finalists are out.

Apparently Ivica Vastic won a lifetime's supply of beer after scoring that penalty for Austria.

Pretty much every game's been entertaining with a lot of skillful, attacking football and so far it's been a great tournament.

Yep, thats right! I wonder if Vastic was thinking about that when he stepped up against Poland. The offer as far as Im aware is any Austrian player that scores in the finals gets a life time supply of beer from a local brewery. Thats quite an incentive lol
