Holland - France: 4 - 1
I watched the game with a couple of friends. What a great match. Overall attractive gameplay. Quick passes keeping the pace high and creating scoring chances for both teams. I wasn’t too sure about this one and neither were my friends. I mostly heard 0-0, 1-0, 0-1 or 1-1. Who could have imagined 4-1?! When Thierry Henry scored for Les Blues (the French team) putting them only one goal behind at 2-1 people around me got anxious. I recalled similar situations where the opponent gets alongside and wins in the end so it was paramount for Oranje (the Dutch team) to prevent France from leveling the score. Only one minute after Henry’s goal Arjan Robben did exactly that and made a beautiful goal from an almost impossible position. If that wasn’t the end for Les Blues then Wesley Sneijder shattered any hopes the French still had.
