I stayed up late last night watching two games. The Portugal vs. Denmark game was exciting, with its ups and downs. Portugal was leading by two goals but got tied. Cristiano Ronaldo missed two clear chances, seemingly pushing Portugal to the brink. Unexpectedly, a substitute winger came on and scored a beautiful turning volley, sealing the win against Denmark.

But the game everyone cared about was the Netherlands vs. Germany, right?

The Netherlands lived up to my expectations. I predicted they would lose, with no chance of even a draw, and they delivered exactly that. The tactics were unchanged from the first game. There were some signs of improvement at the beginning of the first half, but they quickly reverted to being a disorganized mess.

Van Persie disappeared after wasting two clear chances. Sneijder didn't get the ball enough. Why was Van Bommel always on the ball? Robben seems to be only capable of cutting inside and shooting from the wing now. Duan Xuan even said that Afellay had outstanding performances for Barcelona this season, which is why he was a starter for the Netherlands national team. I really don't know which parallel universe's Barca he was watching...

And that eighteen-year-old kid, Willems, was a total mole! Not only did he repeatedly pass the ball to German players, but he also couldn't defend and was easily exploited by the German team. Both goals originated from his side.

But I think the biggest cancer in the Dutch team is Van Marwijk. He's nepotistic, has unclear tactics, and has no solutions when they fall behind. If Van Persie hadn't scored a goal, the Netherlands wouldn't have even put up a token struggle and would have been completely annihilated.

In short, I wouldn't be surprised if the Netherlands is eliminated in the end. This team really doesn't deserve to participate in the knockout stage.

Okay, rant over.

Actually, I was very happy yesterday because I guessed both games correctly.

Bai Niao sends me text messages every day asking which team I favor so he can buy lottery tickets... I'm considering buying a lottery ticket myself...

Today's two games are Italy vs. Croatia and Spain vs. Ireland.

Although Croatia beat Ireland 3-1, I still think Italy will beat Croatia.

Spain winning against Ireland shouldn't be much of a problem, right?

So the results are Italy and Spain to win!

Finally, considering that I guessed both games right yesterday, everyone give me some monthly ticket rewards!!
