George.... I don't know what to say.... I mean yesterday was awful! As you put it, missing TWO penalties is incomprehensible! The Dutch just slipped it up.... Obviously, they were much more psyched up than the Italians. On the other hand, the Italians always prove to be mentally stronger in "adverse conditions" --they always used to play their best when they look hopelessly cornered into some desperate situation.... Italians deserve to play the final.

Again, as you put it: the Dutch never miss an opportunity to.... miss an opportunity!

(BTW, I heard that coach Rijkaard threw in the towel)
