Hello John,
It looked like my Heerenveen would become the first Dutch team ever to win on the grass of Sporting Portugal. But in the extra time, the Portuguese put one in. All depends on the matches next week.
You're already in the knockout stage. Do you think Moyes will put on the best players against BATE or keep them on the bench and fresh for the other matches ?
How on earth did you lose your son to the red side! Here in the Netherlands, the Merseyside-derby received some media attention. Mostly because of our Heitinga in the blue shirt and Kuyt and Babel in red. Heitinga and Kuyt will be wearing Orange in South Africa.
Speaking of the World Cup, England should be careful not to underestimate Group C ! The USA surprisingly beat Spain in the semi and put up a good fight against Brazil in the final of the Confederations Cup.
Also, Slovenia didn't keep Russia from qualifying for no reason.
It's going to be a great tournament, I can hardly wait.
cheers,
Vincent
