All the streets were adorned(adorned?) with orange streamers and dutch flags and they(i nearly put we!! 
) lost!! Still they lost the first match back in 1988 and later won the championship so who knows.They hit the post and really should have won comfortably.Anyway they play Germany next and then Portugal.Did anyone notice Ronaldo changed his hairstyle at halftime!! And notice how when he takes a shot at goal or he's involved in a dribble he looks at the big tv screen camera to check his appearance!!! What a poser.Because of him i hope Portugal go swiftly home.Russia have impressed me the most up till now but it's early days.
Today we have Spain versus Italy and Ireland versus Kroatie.Spain in my opinion are over the hill and Italy have a squad of players where only the village idiot Balotelli is known to me.I cant see the winnar coming from this group.
England? I'm not saying anything except i have the same feeling i had in 1966.
My mate Winston saw them last week at Wembley and he says they haven't a chance.So thats a good sign cos what does a Bluenose know?
How dare you!! Hope you eat your words 
Grandad will be soooo upset 
Nevermind, perhaps I'll play for Ireland when i'm bigger
