We weren't present at that WC...

My mistake, I assumed the Dutch would have been certain qualifiers for any world cup. What happened in the qualifiers? Who got in ahead of you?

If I remember correctly, we got second in our qualification group (who ended first I don't remember) and then faced Ireland in the play offs.


This is what happened, the very, very short version that is:

In Europe, the major surprise was sprung by the Netherlands. The Dutch team was full of international stars, but they only finished in third place in their group, missing out altogether.

Ireland did beat you in a crucial match to make it to the playoffs, though.

Heh, that was awesome.

I liked the commentator on the goal against Argentina. He seemed pretty excited...

Don't let the fact that he made the goal against Argentina look so easy.

The goal against Argentina is technical superior compared to the one against Newcastle.

The ball was delivered from the back left of the pitch to front right of the pitch over 50 yards in the air. He took one touch to control that ball and placed it perfectly for his second touch.

The Newcastle goal is Bergkamp's Football brain on display rather than his technical ability. Although again, his first touch is unbelievable in terms of understanding what he was trying to accomplish.
