Clockwork Orange?

Euro 2008 is taking place in Austria and Switzerland, and while both host nations' teams were eliminated early, at least one team has shined. The Dutch national team came through the "group of death" (The Netherlands, Romania, France, Italy) with an unblemished record and now must be counted the favorites.

Outside of the Swiss, the Dutch are my favorite national team. I wish them the best of luck, which they'll likely need given their perennial under achieving play. This time, though, they seem to have a motivated, talented, and young squad.
