Netherlands and Italy: legends on the decline

Euro 2004 Update: I can't believe it. The Netherlands lose against Czech Republic 2:3 and only have a slim chance to advance to the quarterfinal. I guess I have to stop dreaming of the Dutch soccer legends from the Word Cup team in 1974. In addition: What's wrong with the Italian team which I used to like? Their performance in the tournament was below the expectations so far (their first two games both ended with a lame tie). Italy coach Giovanni Trapattoni is grilled for defensive tactics, but he says his players are just tired . From what? Plus: The biggest surprise of the tournament: Greece.
