I think the Dutch teams forgot to take the wooden clogs off
villarreal is one of the best teams in the world. On a whole diff level then gooch’s boys
Not a great night for Dutch teams…
3-0 to Villareal after an ill-advised defensive header
(not gooch) fell straight to Nilmar 10 yards from goal.
Now 3-0….He was involved in the first goal, but I don’t think it was his fault.
Villareal have gone up 2-0 on Twente. I only saw the second goal, but it wasn’t Onyewu’s fault.
Crazy that 3 of the 8 remaining teams are Portuguese.
Gooch is starting…maybe he can headbutt Rossi??? (puts glass of Haterade down). I kid, I kid.
