Now you do it again. First you reject my Ajax plans and now you sort of bypass me and run to Finn for support. I don't want the bloggers to know who I really am, so keep a lid on buddy! By the way, Danny says hello. And remember: every disadvantage has it's advantage! Marco, I thought you’d only consult me in private for this stuff!

I also base my tactics on the comments from this forum. It truly is a fountain of wisdom. On that note, have you guys got any more hints or strategies for me?? I really don't know what to do about the France game coming up. I was thinking of putting Van Persie in a central defensive role just to give him some game time... does that sound right to you?!?! Also, i read somewhere that conjugal visits helped the Croatia team?!?! Maybe i'll let Sylvie come along for the day to boost the boys spirits eh? Keep the tips flowing, and remember...... i'm reading every word you write.

This group seems to be getting a long very well and they seem to be focused on the same goal: winning the EC.

That's it. We have at least a draw, which is all we will need. Marco is reading this blog, right?

It really seems like there is a good team spirit and unity with this group. That can only be a good thing. I like the way that Sneijder defended Robben.
