Holland crushed Italy 3-0. They opened the floodgates and unleashed. You can argue that the first goal should have been disallowed, but the 2nd and 3rd were fine. The midfielders Van der Vaart and Sneijder were fantastic.Kuyt was a workhorse. Things are looking good for the Dutch, especially after France's dull draw with Romania.
Credit the Italians for creating some decent chances, most notably Di Natale, Pirlo's free kick and Toni's one on one. They probably would have faired better if Canavaro wasn't injured
The Dutch have created so many chances during qualifying, it's relieving to see them finally win convincingly against stellar opponents. Lets not get ahead of ourselves, but I haven't seen play like this since WC 1998 in France. Next steps, France and Romania.
Oranje Boven!
