23 minutes in, the Portuguese have scored a beautiful goal, and it's rather quiet and wet outside on the grachten. Even if the Dutch equalize (and win), I don't think we're going to hear much cheering or see any dancing in the streets tonight.
ETA: Blimey! 75 minutes in and this is turning into one of the nastiest, most bad-tempered matches I've ever seen! So much for Dutch tolerance and Portuguese cool. 3 red cards, virtually everyone is on a yellow, pushing, shoving, kicking, and biting (but no heavy petting so far). Whoever goes through, they're going to be a challenge for England. I can understand Valente's dig at van Persie: he didn't have a yellow, van Persie is a rather handy player, and hey -- everyone else has got a card! The Dutch commentators are getting increasingly excited and outraged. OOOHHHH! Great save by Ricardo!!!
Heh -- what a great ad for the "beautiful" game.
EATA: Do you think Deco's team mates call him Art?
EYATA: And another one bites the dust. 4 players off, 2 on each side. Unbelievable! The players who've been sent off are all sitting together looking bemused. And it's all over. The Dutch are out! Bring on a depleted Portuguese team!
