Oh honestly the cheek of some people. The so-called Group of Death that includes Italy, France, Romania and Netherlands has just become Group of Whiners.

With such giants as France , Italy and Netherlands it was considered Romania does not stand much of a chance – hence the name.

However after abysmal performances by French and the Italian both French manager Domenech and Italian captain Buffon fear the Dutch will lose to Romania to make sure both Italy and France are out of quarter finals (which would suit the Dutch just fine in the semi-finals). So instead of concentrating on their own teams and the game ahead of them, they wither on about the Dutch.

Yes I know it is all about the points and who will be the 2 runner ups but fact remains if Italy or France were not so crap to begin with they would not be in this position.
