Sorry to see Slovakia go out, although simply for beating Italy they're already tournament heroes.
Holland look so good going forward but I have to wonder about the opportunities they give the opposition. Although I thought Holland were the better team today, on another day, chances could've easily gone the other way and they'd be out. And yet, by not having to meet Germany, Spain, Portugal until earliest the final, they're avoiding all the most potent strike-forces. Brazil (assuming they beat Chile) will be far harder to break down than Slovakia but offer less of a threat up front than the teams they'll avoid.
