We won our last (and only) major tournament on German soil, so we're going to do it again

You didn't actually win in '74.

The Dutch never won any tournament. FACTComment

I meant '88... I count the European Championship as a major tournament, considering the World Cup is basically the EC with Brazil and Argentina.Comment

With eiher of them taking part, you wouldn't have won it.

But I guess you just waited for my commentary on this for the final, irresistible blow.

yeah, the head of the english football at the time got to choose all the referees ffrom the quarterfinals on. in the final against germany, the linesman who ruled the extra time goal good had had his team eliminated in the round before by germany."Everything for the State, nothing against the State, nothing outside the State" - Benito MussoliniComment

We didn't even care that we went on to beat the Russians in the finals, that was only the icing on the cake.
Man, did we kick your ass. And don't tell me that you were still an Ossie back then, to the rest of us you are all Germans. Man, did we kick ass
And don't remind me how the effing Germans stole the world cup from us in '74. We almost forgot about our bicycles and forgave you for invading our beaches each summer. But no more. Too bad Germany isn't going anywhere this championship, I would have loved a Holland-Germany finals.
