Italy vs Netherlands Euro 2008 Cup Soccer Video
Watch Netherlands 3-0 Italy soccer highlights from the 2008 football Euro Cup. The gaping hole in Italian defence (Cannavaro’s absence) and the important addition to the Dutch frontline (Van Nistelrooy returning following hug & make-up time with coach Van Basten) were what stood out in the first bit of the 1st half as compared to the World Cup 2 years back. Van Nistelrooy got the first controversially offside goal in typical fashion with an appropriately timed outstretched foot, but the early Dutch surge had predicted a goal. Sneijder then followed it up with possibly the best goal of Euro thus far, while Van Bronckhorst slotted in the 3rd later in the 2nd half. Italy had quite a few messed up opportunities. Both Van Der Sar and Buffon had some good saves and this win by the Dutch really turns it on in this group, France having drawn vs Romania.
