The chain is broken! »

FERDY CHRISTANT - JUN 27, 2004 (04:44:26 PM)

After 4 dissapointing penalty shootouts, we finally broke the chain. Our national penalty trauma is no more. The team fought till their last breath and beyond. Last night Holland beat the Swedes on penalties. Our goal keeper Edwin van der Sar and young promise Arjen Robben saved the day. We're in the semi-finals!

Next wednesday we play Portugal in the semi-finals. Beware!

comment » Congrats! We've had *some* coverage of Euro2004, but many matches are not televised here in Florida, USA :( ...Hopefully the semis and final will all be broadcast.

comment » Joe,

That's too bad. I heard you guys have to pay to see it. I can imagine that would not make it attractive to watch, especially considering it's not really a mainstream sport there. I do hope you get to see our next game(s) and that our silly orange supporters make you want us to win :)

Roy, thanks. I'll forgive you this time for being second choice ;) «
