johannes - no doubt you've earned the right to be optimistic, but "the Romanians don't have a prayer"? Easy on the Orange KoolAid. Have you forgotten qualifying already? Not to mention this match means everything to Romania and absolutely nothing to the Dutch. tito - "Romania to win, Italy and France to go home and get new coaches. It’s best for everyone." Amen. Romania 2 - 0 Netherlands.

A “very ordinary” Romanian side? You haven’t been paying attention. Romania to win, Italy and France to go home and get new coaches. It’s best for everyone.

Even the Dutch “reserves” are are much too good for a very ordinary Romanian side. They will be relaxed, in high spirits and eager to show their class. A lethal combination. Things might be different if the Dutch still had to qualify but now the Romanians don’t have a prayer. Sorry folks.

I’m not sure I’d call Engelaar “in-form” or whether that matters even if he is. Then again, against a team that is likely unable to control midfield, Engelaar should be able to do more than the suckage he showed during the Ned-Fra game.

I think Van Basten will field a reserve side and will lose.
