Don't fancy Holland's chances. Serbia play like a mature team; Holland is more about enthousiasm & that moronic manager still doesn't play our best player Luigi Bruins. Hope at least Beerens starts ahead of DDR.

But undoubtedly the best two teams of the competition 
Last month, when I had talked about the Serbs going all the way, there were a lot of unbelievers... now, there is a 50% chance of that happening!!
I am very impressed with some of their players... specially Jankovic, what a player.... loved one of his runs today, where he almost scored. Definately one to watch out for the future...
I think Mallorca are going to get some big offers for this lad this summer!!

I see the Serbs winning. Despite being lucky against Belgium and being c**ts in general, they are a very good football team and dont play like under 21s at all. Their number 9 is a monster also.

Serbia is more organised and teh socalled Oranje A-team at this tournie is nothing less than our B/c team in fact.
Vlaar won't play in the final; the keepers De Haan prefers are both mediocre and some of those kids simply aren't good enough (Kruiswijk, Pieters, Medunjanin, Bakkal, De Ridder). Until the game against the English we've been able to bypass these lesser players, but against the defending English they were exposed.
Serbia's midfield >>>>>>>>>>> Oranje's midfield
Their defense is also better, and their A team are really accustomed to each other and play quite fluidly.

I expect the Serbs to win it and have no problem with it : they have been the best team in the competition so far
I am praying though that, just like last year, Holland has saved it's finest football for the last match

U21 in Germany = 80,000 spectators
U21 in Holland = more than 200,000 spectators
Yeah, it's a real letdown...

Never there was more support for a youth European Championships than this year in the Netherlands....
THe Dutch beat any record AGAIN! Just like the Youth World Cup in the Netherlands 2 years ago!
And the Dutch organised the most successful, profitable championships with the Euro 2000.

I think its been really good in Holland, they were clever in their allocations of tickets to grounds, not like the Germans.

Talent wise this Holland squad is far less than last year. Especially when you take into account that: Afellay, Aissati, Emanuelsson, Schaars, Vlaar are being missed.
This team is however, physically stronger and they are more a team than last year...
For the first time I see a Dutch team that is physically one of the strongest team. Most of the times we can only line up midgets and sissies. I don't think Oranje won't have a chance to win it again! They have to play a bit more on ball possesion and more relaxed than in the terrible game against England...

Is it me or are the odds for a Serbia win (11/4 - 3/1 cq 3.75 - 4) ridiculously good?
I put some money on Serbia. By the way don't blame me if you follow my example & loose.

Serbia will win, all Dutchies know that already and have no problem with it.
Our future is bright and has always been bright - the kids at the Oranje ECU21 aren't even our best kids. Of the kids we sent to the EC, only Aissati, Babel and Drenthe could make a claim to be in the real oranje XI U21 squad.
