@chrisland1976, you said "By the way, the most exciting football that exist is in Barcelona, not in the Netherlands, didn't the world Cup last year give prove to that?"

First off you should be aware of Barcelona's history. They essentially were a nothing club before Cruyff came and won championships for them. Since then Barca have completely adopted and adapted the Dutch attacking, total football style. So to say the most exciting football, today, is is Barca, is to acknowledge that the Dutch initiated it. Don't believe me? Video Google "Xavi Cruyff" and you can hear him speak about how he is a disciple of Cruyff's school of thought. Or look up this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiki-taka where it speaks about how Dutch coaches (plural) implemented the style in Barca over a couple decades.

So Barca is basically Holland's stepchild.

they call it the german machine :)

Özil,Boateng,Muller,Khedira,Neuer,Draxler=GREAT future to Germany

it was only football this means nothing

it was only a friendly this means nothing

WTF is this crap performance from Holland?? Defense was HORRIBLE! Almost like children playing against professionals. Even if it was a friendly, they should at least put some kinda effort. Great game from Germany though, awesome team work.

1 minute highlight? Any one has a link to a highlight that doesn't last as long as an tv commercial?

The reason why Germany won, why they're probably better at the moment and might still be in the Euros if all goes well, becomes obvious right here: while a team like Holland is, apparently, all about the stars (many a Holland supporter round here seems to be entirely focused on this issue), Germany is all about the TEAM. They, contrary to Holland, seem to have no difficulty replacing key players. The Netherlands, apparently, can't, which shows they rely too much on a few star players.
This is also the reason why Miroslav Klose is so strong and always has been for the national side: yes, he's an awesome striker; but above all, he's a magnificent TEAM player. Which, not least to Löw, makes him a lot more valuable for the team than Gomez.

Note: everyone who loves and lives football HAS to love this team for exactly this reason, because in the end this is what it's all about: the team. AND they play beautiful football as a team. Of course, Netherlands supporters do not have to love them right now, that's understandable :)

Much better Highlights to the game.

beautiful combinations by the Germans, isn't it? that's the proof of high quality, guys! To those who always insist on a biased stinking conclusion that the German team is only a disciplined machine lacking technical qualities, this game is a slap in the face!

I hope that silences the Klose haters cause he just played so well in this game. The unity and lack of ego in the German ranks have them rated highly in my books for the Euro campaign I think. Spain will of course provide some stern opposition as favourites and the Dutch will rebound and be as strong as ever. Can't wait for it to start!

ok germany lovers, i dont think this game says a lot because holland was missing the most important dangerous players like: rvp, affelay, van der vaart and robben and the last one cane make a very big difference. I agree on the fact that Germany was better but i dont agree that they were dominating the game; first of all they had less ball possession and their goals were just very fast attacks after some stupid mistake made by the Dutch, but thats their quality and theyre very good at that, but i know that if they meet again in Euro 2012 when holland has their key players THEN DIE MANNSCHAFT WONT STAND A CHANCE AGAINST THE NETHERLANDS, THE CREATORS OF THE MOST EXCITING TYPE OF FOOTBALL THAT EXISTS!!!!!!!

dont get your hopes up the dutch were missing most of their key players plus its just a friendly
