The Orange Machine is showing how to do it

These pasts weeks, I've been following the European Football Cup, and after watching almost all games, up to now, the Dutch team really seems to be the one taking the cup this year.

I always liked the Dutch team, as they say it is the European team that resembles the most with the Brazilian style of playing the game. However, they were always eliminated, most of the time not even reaching the final. But now, after beating Italy and France by big margins, I think it has come time to make justice and give the cup to them.

Well, football is not basketball and not always the best team wins, or as we say in Brazil: football is like a surprise box. So it might be too early to put all my money on the table, but from now on I am cheering for them.

i also like very much the way the dutch soccer team plays! Generally i find that the matches brazil played against the netherlands at the previous world cups are the best ones our team has played...Generally european soccer style is a rigid one, its efficient but not that beautiful to see. The dutchs change a bit that style...

Yup that is very true. Unfortunately they were eliminated just after I posted this comment. "Futebol eh realmente uma caixinha de surpresa".
