[EURO2004] Groop D
Germany 1 Holland 1
Frings 30" van Nistelrooy 81"
Stadium Dragao(Oporto) Attendance 46000
BILLED AS...World War II, mark two
IN REALITY...While the Holland players squabble over tactics, Germany are
tenaciously efficient and go in at half-time a goal upafter Torsten Frings'
left-wing free-kick curls straight in. Holland bring on Overmars and Wesley
Sneijder(for Bolo Zenden and Edgar Davis) in a half-time double substitution,
and after spending half an hour hitting it long for the little winger to chase
bring on Pierre van Hooijdonk as a route-one target man. Five minutes later,
Ruud van Nistelrooy-previously isolated up front-acrobatically turns in a
volley and Dick Advocaat relaxes as Rudi Voller fumes.
TGE GOOD That Van Nistelrooy volley: the cross is a yard behind him but he
manages to stretch his leg back and brilliantly tirn it in.
THE BAD Omce again the argumentative Holland "team" are less than the sum of
their parts, as they fail to put pressure on Germany.
THE UGLY Advocaat and Voller both make the mistake of wearing light shirts
the managers' spending underarm stains indicative of theur growing strains.
THEY SAID WHAT? "We need 11 Zidanes" German tabloid Bild.
In the adjacent team picture, each players has a Zidane style bald spot.
THE FALL OUT Huge confidence boost for Germany, despite the late goal
ANY OTHER BUSINESS? It's Van Nistelrooy's debut at a major finals.
