A fantastic start by HOlland as Dirk Kuyt puts Holland ahead in 9 minutes with a clear header and Holland go 1-0 up.
Kalou came close in the 22nd minute only for Edin Van Der Sar, to save at his near post with his left leg out stretched. It was tit for tat for the rest of the half with both teams creating chances and squandering them equally.
Its only the first half but both teams are playing some great one touch football when Govou’s shot is saved from 20yrs out and Ribberys shot is equally deflected by Holland’s keeper.
When one move breaks down it seems another one starts. Its great open attacking football from both teams. Thierry Henry steals a yard and shoots in the 43rd minute put puts it just over the crossbar, and the ref sounds his whistle for half time.
Second half starts with Holland kicking off. Within 5 minutes theres a penalty shout from an Henry shot. But it would of been a harsh decision. Thierry henry has another chance 5 minutes later with a one on one with Edwin Van Der Sar but lobs the keep and the goal mouth leaving France still trailing 1-0.
Within seconds of henry’s shot. Holland break down the left wing with Ayan Robyn who puts a sublime left foot corss over for Robin Van Persie to smash home goal number 2. And Holland are in the driving seat.
20 Minutes from the end Sagnol crosses the ball for Henry to slide it past Van Der Sar to keep France’s hopes alive. But within a blink of an eye. A one man football show from Ayan Robyn sprints down the centre midfield takes on a few players gets pushed out towards the goalies left and squeezes a fantastic one man goal past 2 defenders and the goalie at a 45* degree angle. A superb goal which rocks France to the core leaving the score 3-1 Holland.
With 15 minutes to go. Nickholas Anelka comes on for France but fails to make an impact. Van Nistelroy comes close to making it 4-1 with a looping header but France’s goalie manages to track back and scoop it clear.
Then in 90+2 Holland strike again from. This time Wesley Sneijder is in on the box, pivots to give himself room and smashes home HOlland’s 4th of the match.. And with that the game ends in a 4-1 vistory for Holland.
That mean Holland have beaten both the World cup finalists Italy and France, and scored 7 goals doing it. Are we looking at European football champions in the making ? .. I certainly hope so.. after these last 2 perfomances they surely deserve it.
final Score: Holland thrash France 4-1
Verdict: Best game of the Tournament
