Brave team - love their presence at World Cups and they have the best fans in the world too. I remember watching a preview of a Holland and Scotland game and the Scottish fans were incredible ! Even just recently Amsterdam loves the Scots and vice versa. Picture of a Scotsman kissing a Dutch Lady Cop and one of them exchanging hats too. Kudos to Dutch Police too who know how to welcome these great supporters. Sol, lets hope we drop points against Scotland OK ?

Now they still have a bad goal differential while they could have tested Stekelenburg some more and they might even have got a draw. But I guess if that goal wasn'r ruled out (I couldn't see anything wrong with it) that might have given them the guts to go for 2. There was also a handball in the dutch box by one of the dutch players (can't remember who) that could have been given a penalty for, but I think that was the right decision since it wasn't an intentional handball. But these decisions could have turned the match perhaps. The way it was, the scots just wouldn't come out of their shell and basicly doomed themselves. Holland may drop some points against the other teams (especially the nearer they get to qualifaction) and Scotland will have to work hard to make it. Good luck!
