Group of Death?

That’s only if you’re as deliriously dysfunctional as the Dutch, as dangerously dependent on the preening Portuguese peacock Cristiano Ronaldo and, frankly, as spirited but limited as the Danes.

For Germany, the toughest group of Euro 2012 was just like their qualifying campaign for a spot at the tournament – a walk in the park.

Die Mannschaft mangled every team in their way as they won all their 10 matches on the road to Poland and Ukraine and, after downing Denmark 2-1 in their final Group B match this morning (Singapore time), the perfect Germans took that streak to 13.

The Dutch team deserved to be out, shameless not even 1 point, better go play netball. Ladies can play better football than them. The only reason I gathered why they did badly was that they did not play for one another as a team unlike the Germans, Spanish and others. Every Dutch player tried to score and put their name on the scoresheet, shooting from metres away, from every angle even impossible angle, what a selfish load of players. Robben is one of them, he forgotten football is a game consists of 11 players on the field, the rest of the Dutch players are equally guilty. Do not blame the coach alone, though he must bear the blame too. The next Dutch coach must unload those selfish players otherwise the reputation of Dutch football is history. I need to be blunt as I have always supported the Dutch but with great disappointment, I now go for the Germans.
