Yeah that was such a fabulous goal! I felt that day we lucked out but we were the better team on that Cup.
If NL could have won, it should have been with that team. All gems. Good atmosphere in the team. Good coach. It all made sense.
Sometimes the best team does not win. It is about points and goals. And luck too.
We had Robben, Van der Vaart, Snijders, Van Persie, Huntelaar (he did not play much but substituted so well) many many more gems like them.
This year... I have no clue what happened.. They choked.. Went for safe.. No clue..
France had that issue. Engeland also actually. Underperformed and lost.
It is not coming home.. Not yet..
Fun and crazy thing is also, sometimes you see things differently, depending who you support. Remember last Cup, Netherlands Argentina. Things got heated a bit. I disliked some things of Argentina way of playing, behaviour. Also from Messi. But those who are supporting for Argentina, they totally approved of it because of things being said prematch (which was taken out of context and I believe also translated badly).
But hey.. It didn't stop us all for loving the sport. We keep on watching and hoping again and again.
We love this unhealthy toxic roller coaster relationship
