Netherlands were always going to win it, but I don't think anyone expected them to go up three on Italy.

This could be their year.

UNbelievable! I dont think anyone expected this scoreline! What Holland did today was ridicuous, against the world champions??? Never saw this coming. Total Football at its best! I am at a loss for words, I am so glad I saw this match live, best match of the tournament so far. Italy had a few chances, but just wasnt their day. Well see what they can do in the next match, but congrats to the Dutch. and Wesley Sneijder, man, what a way to celebrate yor birthday!

By the way, FYI, v Nistelrooy was not offsides.
A FIFA rule indicates that if a player (pannucci) goes out of bounds, he is still an active player, and therefore would still be considered in play. The goal was legal. Right call. Check it again, Pannucci lies down out of bounds keeping van nistelrooy onside.

You are dead wrong. He was out of play after being knocked down and should NOT have been considered in play.

ALL of the post game commentaries will say this.

They were gifted that goal and it broke Italy's morale.

Actually... the ref really had it in for them. At one point the Dutch had close to 20 fouls vs. 9 yet Italy had the yellow cards.

Cannavaro's absence really showed, but they shouldn't have lost that badly. Del Piero should have been played from the beginning.

Pannucci would have been out of play if the ref acknowledged the injury right away (at that point he can only enter the pitch again when the ref says so), but he didn't because it was Pannucci's team mate Buffon who knocked him down in the first place.
He could have made a difference if he didn't choose to lie down.

Italy didn't deserve to win but they deserved to score at least. Panucci, Materazzi, Ambrosini and Gattuso shouldn't have started. Why do Italians coaches always go with experienced instead of in-form players? The line should have been - Toni,Del Piero, Camoranesi, Pirlo, De Rossi,Aquliani, Grosso, Barzagli, Chiellini, Zambrotta and Buffon. All credit to Holland thou, they played amazing. Italy need to win both of thei remaining games if they want to proceed.

Out of play means out of play and he was out of play, not just in the fact that he was on the ground and not moving but he was physically off the pitch.

In this particular case, the ref either didn't "catch" the offside or didn't care that a player was down and out of play - either way, the goal shouldn't have counted.

HOLLAND RULES!!!
anyway, van nistelrooy is not offside when he scored eh....
there's an italian guy behind the far post.. even though he's out of play.

Rmb the funny videos when a goalie rolled a ball on the floor, only for an opponent to come from behind the goal and kick the ball into the net?

if that guy was not out of play, i couldn't see why pannuci is..

You are a little confused by the rules. His injury was not acknowledged and thus he was not out of play or still "active". If it was acknowledged pannucci would have had to ask permission from the ref to enter the pitch again, which was not needed in this case.

It's okay. Never mind I see him now and as the ref hasn't stopped play I agree that technically Nistelrooy is in fact ahead of Pannucci who is still considered active as he hasn't signaled an injury and limped off he just fell out off the field of play after crashing with Buffon. Legitimate goal.

What is this!!!!??? Italy had so many chances... Their back line couldn't cope with Holland's speed on the counter... Del Piero should have started along with De Rossi too... And i believe that the ref didn't rule out the goal not because he thought Pannuci was playing Van Nistelrooy onside it's just that he thought Van Nistelrooy was level with the two Italian Defs when the shot was taken. I don't think he was so smart to think that Pannuci was causing the goal to be onside...

It doesn't matter in the end if the first goal was legitimate or not, Holland where by far the better team and deserved to win. Italy did not play like the world champions that they are.

Coming from an Australian with a dutch background this was a sweet sweet victory. GO HOLLAND!

Ok, I get really irritated whenever someone says this. First, Materazzi was sent off unjustly. He committed a foul but it certainly did not deserve a red card. Italy dominated the game when the numbers were even, and Australia is so supremely lucky that they didn't find themselves a goal down earlier in the game. Even after Materazzi was sent off, Australia failed to score. Finally, if you look closely, you will see that Grosso was actually tripped up by the Aussie's arm. Australia lost to a superior team and you just need to get over it.

Now, I do believe that Holland's first goal should have been disallowed, and that may have changed the momentum of the game, but the Italians simply didn't play today,a nd no one can claim that they don't deserve the victory.

If you don’t know what your talking about please don’t comment!

The first goal was offside, no doubt about it.
The Italian player was not involved in the play and out of the field, this results in a passive offside.
Toni told the ref to look at the replay and copped a yellow card for it, watch the reaction of the Holland team, they themselves could not believe it.

I will agree with statements of Italy's defence.
2 counter attacks' 2 goals.
Italy Really need to organise there midfield, Perhaps a change in formation.. 442 apposed to 433.

Please don’t use this game to Judge Euro, Holland played great but by no means will they play the same against a team with a solid defensive lineup!

Also, Del-Piero and Casano need to be out there more.
Del-Piero is in form and Lucatoni is overrated.

The mids are solid, Pirlo again held his ground in the centre.
Italy needed this wakeup call.

Spain ALL THE WAY!!!!!

It may have been more sporting and within the spirit of the game to consider defender Christian Panucci off the field of play and therefore no longer an active player, but having not received permission from the referee to leave the pitch nor actually injured, Holland’s goal was correctly awarded.

Van Nistelrooy paid a nervous look towards the assistant when he stabbed the ball past Italian captain Gigi Buffon, but referee expert Julian Carosi’s advice appears to clear up the matter.

On his website, he states the following in answer to a question over offside interpreation:

Where should the Assistant Referee place himself to judge for offside in the following instances: A defender’s momentum, takes him out over the goal line but he is not injured.

“Answer: A player leaving the field of play because of his momentum during play, is not deemed to have left without the Referee’s permission and can therefore re-enter without the Referee’s permission. In this instance, although the defender is off the field of play, (and until he returns to the field of play), he should be deemed to be standing on the goal-line (in the field of play) when considering offside. The Assistant Referee should stand in line with the last opponent on the field of play (which in this case will probably be the defending goalkeeper). When deciding offside in this scenario, the two last defending opponents are the defender who has travelled off the field of play, and the defending player who is nearest to the goal line on the field of play (which in all probability will be the goalkeeper).

If an uninjured defender purposefully remains off the field in an attempt to place an attacker in an offside position, then that defender should also be deemed to be standing on the goal-line (on the field of play) when considering offside. Trickery of this nature circumvents the spirit of the offside Law.”

And the ‘Advice to Referees’ booklet, part 11.11, back this up:

“A defender who leaves the field during the course of play and does not immediately return must still be considered in determining where the second to last defender is for the purpose of judging which attackers are in an offside position. Such a defender is considered to be on the touch line or goal line closest to his off-field position. A defender who leaves the field with the referee’s permission (and who thus requires the referee’s permission to return) is not included in determining offside position.”

The Italian media won’t be interested in listening, but Peter Fröjdfeldt and his team seem to have got a critical decision absolutely correct - and expect the UEFA Referees’ Committee to corroborate that fact. They are currently in the process of releasing a note supporting the decision made by the Swedish team.

The Italian player was not involved in the play and out of the field, this results in a passive offside.
Toni told the ref to look at the replay and copped a yellow card for it, watch the reaction of the Holland team, they themselves could not believe it.

I will agree with statements of Italy's defence.
2 counter attacks' 2 goals.
Italy Really need to organise there midfield, Perhaps a change in formation.. 442 apposed to 433.

Please don’t use this game to Judge Euro, Holland played great but by no means will they play the same against a team with a solid defensive lineup!

Also, Del-Piero and Casano need to be out there more.
Del-Piero is in form and Lucatoni is overrated.

The mids are solid, Pirlo again held his ground in the centre.
Italy needed this wakeup call.

Spain ALL THE WAY!!!!![/quote]
WHATTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OOH PLEASE!!!! i'm spanish and not one good word for the italians! i think you should be half italien?? we hate italy dont forget that! HAIL HOLLAND 4 beating up those idiots!! Espana para siempre and you get the F... out of spain!!

Look at the highlights, it looked like Italy had way more chances, missed many easy onces, with the Dutch only really dominating at the end of the 1st half. In saying that, the Italian defence looked pathetic on those 2 counter attacks. They just let the Dutch score?! Why doesnt Holland ever let Clarence SEEDORF play?

A FIFA rule indicates that if a player (pannucci) goes out of bounds, he is still an active player, and therefore would still be considered in play. The goal was legal. Right call. Check it again, Pannucci lies down out of bounds keeping van nistelrooy onside.[/quote]

You are dead wrong. He was out of play after being knocked down and should NOT have been considered in play.

ALL of the post game commentaries will say this.

They were gifted that goal and it broke Italy's morale.

Actually... the ref really had it in for them. At one point the Dutch had close to 20 fouls vs. 9 yet Italy had the yellow cards.[/quote]

Yeah you are dead right... I mean Italian footballers are not really known for laying down on the ground when they arent really hurt (re. Lucas Neill's horrific legbreaker on Fabio Grosso in the World Cup 2006 Second Round). In this case Panucci must also have been really hurt by his own goalkeeper to then go on and play the remaining match. I can't believe it either... I mean 3 goals to zip.

Italy didn't cheat their way up to Wc2006, And I hope they survive this round, Still Netherlands won clearly and the first goal Wasn't offside....If so many refs said it wasn't then it wasn't.

I hope France wil be knocked out same as Romania,,,,Holland #1
Italy #2

If you compare both games played that day you'll see that France and Romania are the shitest teams in group C

hey guys
it happens that a team plays better than another and we of course make our best wishes to holland for playing such a match. if you are honest you know that italy from last night is NOT the real italy, even though a bad match can always happen to anyone.
so, we have to get to work, get humble and crush romania and france and hope to get our revenge on holland in the finals.

Its hard to deem whether or not a player is infact out of play...I can recall an occasion when a player that was getting treatment on the side of the pitch for a head injury caused by a team mate suddenly ran on and prevented a goal from being scored.

I guess the right thing to have done was for the holland player to kik the ball out of play when he saw the italian player down in back play, but given that it was an attacking oppotunity I dont imagine that any team would of given away possession and I certanly wouldnt expect italy to do that if they were in that position.

It was a great game credit where credit is due, holland played well...lets move on and stop the pathetic whinging, because if Italy was good enough they could of come back and drawn or even won the game. They were just out played on the day.

Averagly 1.5 goals a game ... pretty measly if you ask me. [-(

This was the best game in this Euro so far, and it is just my luck that it won't work anymore.

I can't believe Toni did not score THAT chance!

Yeah, I really do not like Italy because they won the World Cup 2006 on penalties when I thought France should have won.
Also Materazzi must have said something pretty bad to make Zidane lose his cool.
But yeah -- show Italy some respect. :-"

Apparently -- Ruud Van Nistelrooy was onside, due to the infamous 11th rule.
FIFA and UEFA have agreed that the goal was totally legal and anyone to say otherwise is just being pig-headed.
