Orange supremacy
The unthinkable has happened. The Netherlands beat two world champion teams-- Italy & France so easily that it seemed like a child's play to them. Two splendid performances of the men in orange put the two football superpowers into the bay. The magical performances of the Dutch mesmerised all the football fans all over the world. The game they played in the last two matches is so sublime that we didn't witness in the recent past. We the new generation only heard about total football before, but now we witness it.
The two stunning goals of Sneijder, mastery of Nistelrooy, cool header of Kuyt, sublime run of Robben & the cool finish of Persie are quite unforgettable. Above all they played as a team.
My pre-tournament favourite was Portugal but now I support the Dutch wholeheartedly. They may not win the trophy but what they played in the last two matches was magnificent football!
