Annoying. Once a goal is scored, it's a free kick (kickoff) to the goalkeeper's team. Attackers shouldn't be allowed to try to wrestle the ball away. It's not like doing so has ever caused the other side to kickoff quicker.

Nope, never (even if you count the previous runners-up failing to qualify)

Unbelievable. At least France have the excuse of an insane manager and all the problems within the squad. Italy have have one of their greatest managers in charge, yet they're just utterly shite.

Holland have scored, RVP.

Robben coming on. If they can get him playing they'll be there or thereabouts.
