They can beat them if they want to.
Similar thing happened on euro 2004.
Czech Republic secured the first place and in the last round they played Germany. The Germans needed a win to pass the groups and eliminate Holland.
They tought they'll easily beat the Czech team without Nedved, Poborsky, Baros, Rosicky and Koller who were being rested.
But the Czech second team didn't even want to think about letting the Germans win and they've beaten them 2:1 with their second team, without needing any points.
If the Czech second team could beat Ballack's Germany (that desperately needed 3 pts) why shouldn't the Dutch second team beat Romania ?

Romania will beat Holland...las year in 2 games ...from a total of 6 points we got 4...and Holland's 2nd team wasn't playing
And you also never scored against italy for god knows how long, record books dont stand here.
Who would have thought italy would lose against holland 3 0?....
If holland doesnt have the intention of knocking frande and italy out, they'd put a decent fight get a draw perhaps.
btw dude your team is amazing you should be proud.
Hehe, it was just a joke. No hard feelings.
The French play even worse than Italy. These two teams are both major disappointments and they know eachother perfectly.
If i must pick an 1x2 bet i wouldn't know what to do because the chances for every outcome are 33.3%-33.3%-33.3%.
So, yes, Italians can beat France but i rate their chances equal to the chances for a France win or a draw.
Tactics will play a huge role in this match. Whoever sets them right (having in mind that it's Donadoni and Domenech it will be more accurate to say : whoever won't set them wrong) will win this match.

None taken, I just felt it coming but you seem to know a thing or two about lebanese football
...kudos to that.Let's say donanodini wins that battle, would that mean hes twice the coach that domenech is
not much to brag about anyways. I see italy winning, and going through, the stars are properly aligned.
The tournament is effectively over for Italy as I have seen nothing from this team to suggest we can beat France. I hope to be proved wrong however.
As for yesterday's game, yes the offside call was a poor decision, but these things happen in matches - it was nothing more than a bad mistake by the ref's assistant.
It's a shame, I was expecting a lot more. It seems my expectations were too high.
