a little bit about their 2002 world cup just before that in terms of qualifying little bit of a memory. the story is just over the. yes yourself about that in your own words. well, when the, when the group came out, the qualifying group obviously were portugal in the group as well in late and obviously the dodge such a great team. you know, we kind of were thinking, we're going to get the summer off in 2000 and she was going to handle the holiday for us. but we actually played holland in the 1st game at the group. so when it went really well for us, we went to natal angel to to yeah. so we went to no, you didn't play about one, did you otherwise the 1st, the 1st one you did, the 2nd one you didn't. so what was the, we started off the campaign really well, and then we gradually grew in confidence. and then it came to a final decided game between the republic of ireland and holland, that lands down road on a course, louis van gall was very outspoken in the press and kind of did our team talk 40, it was a matter of how many goals we were gonna concede and how many they were going to

school so that the coffee, the manager gave us a good scene. so can we went out and, and we were mom. i was looking to school at the goal. and unfortunately for the dodge, they got knocked out and they went on holiday that summer and, and yeah, it was great memories for us because obviously we qualified and we went to japan, so it was great, but not so great. now for you boys now and i was in yet i only played on the, from the game against ireland and i think cyprus away and i was struggling with my knee. and but i remember the game says really well because my brother was playing and of course for me and maybe just getting fit and looking away forward to the work up. i think red got from your side to man. got a kelly. yeah. i mean again, then i will play you so that's going to be easy then lying back and then of course were 10 minutes before the end. yeah. 15. yeah, nice court and i was an unbelievable deception, of course. and you guys also know each other from before that because there was

a little computer game called fee for $96.00, where the 2 of you appeared on the cover. but we were talking off and it seems to me like jason might actually owe you some money from. yeah, i never got a one penny of italy of the i now they pay quite a bit. oh it for me. it's just a b. i'm on it to be on that the historical schieffer. well, i don't know if you have, i don't think they've aged a day. what do you think? no, maybe jason, a little bit on your show. well good. i'm a new counsel for you. a part of this a we will be talking about you, chris, later on in the shy, but there is only one place to start. elinor massey's, a well cut story, continues tonight's against ronald's team. the netherlands argentina. how many people's favorites, but the netherlands on beaten for 19 games and a confidence of ending massey's run to the final whether he likes it or not,

a little messy is the focus, the most camera lenses. when argentina hit the training ground, competing at his last world cup, 35 year old messy is closing in on his 1st global title. tens of thousands of fans have traveled to catherine from argentina, hoping to witness one of the giddings all time greats. kathy's international korea with football is biggest price. financials i'm with ford is again casey. we see the effort that everyone has made to come here and be part of the games and also the people enjoying it from arch in tina. i know the all of aren't tina would like to be here, but that isn't possible. the unity that we have enjoyed for a while is very beautiful at every much. it's incredible how they are living each game and transmitting so much passion and energy. i thank them because it's incredible in the netherlands t no face in the quarter finals certainly enjoyed the new account when against the usa at the last world cup of parents in 2014 dutch fun came to an end with defeat

against george and sina in the last 4, we know that you are 3 games away from glory. you could be 3 games away from glory . and we are in this position right now. we wanna show we want to perform and get, leave it all on the page and hopefully get success. and this is our maturity touch coach louis van hall is another rallying point for the players. he returns the job for a 3rd time last year. the 71 year old guiding the team through will to qualification while also being treated the prostate cancer of the big. she's a very good guys. well you can speak to a normal and i think everyone is good for with him. and i think also because this will be the last one, wants to fight for women duelfer argentina sends hoping it will be their team that can bring the netherlands 19 game unbeaten run to an end. and the richardson al

jazeera, their own as plenty of history in the fixture between netherlands, argentina, you are involved in that infamous match in 98. when dennis camp scored that incredible by one of the greatest goals i've schooled i woke up, it's become quite rivalry at this tournament. hasn't netherlands argentina, so much history of course to the years. i think we faced 10 times. i think most that we are coming up as a witness, but that this is just statistic. and so there is sort of rivalry, and of course we have cry. miranda murder, don't messy. and we are back on greg. go the lead, go that we went to the semi so yeah, a lot of history but also because you had to play that they had and we had nothing that make the game even more beautiful little you visited with the dutch team and you know, louis fund from that 2002 year, but he was also in charge 2014 the 3rd spelling of the,

of the national team. how well is it going in your opinion? now 1st of all, we see to head, to build up to the show about and you talk about augustine, a messy and holiday talk about all of them. louis her go. what is different? talking about a player and we talk about code to the coaches to figure that everybody looks in the media and the, the other, the media to continue to look too messy. so a iran, iraq to talk about the play that goes in that louise got because he's not going to do it on the page of course. so the difference is so huge, of course, in one way that took great characters and had but totally different than. but this game is, of course is like another game because that we just reviewed the game that we played. it was not the does, does yeah. football that we normally i used to 5 in the back. my brother played at the wedding, new york up guard, but normally we play much more. yeah,

we take more initiative where we are, we may create a lot of chances and this is a bit lacking. and so they got a little bit criticism from holland because we like to play 43. we take to get, we take the nation initiative, we create 10, and that is another case. so didn't a bit disappointing, but the results are amazing. so that is what counts, i think at the end, i think now you get really phase of a big team and i think you get also a little more space. so i think we'll see a better does seem to be seen before and just woke up and they said, we'll see need to talk about argentina. how worried should netherlands be and well again, they come into the competition in great form and it was 3435 games on demand and all of a sudden stuff and attract box out in a bit of a bit of about the massive shock was now i don't know whether it was the greatest one in welcome history, but it certainly and listen, i'm a bit of a romance, 6, be honest and obviously now island on and obviously not in the competition. a kind

of one argentine, it's a when it a messy to list a with amount of don, a connection and, and everything. so that would be really nice, but unfortunately, i don't think that the playing. well, i've been to say a couple of times linked on the right hand side the, the week, you know, messy is pull them out of trouble a couple of times. and it's, it's just a thought the natalie, the gates, the usa we're, we're very good thing to pie back in the team. certainly help them. they were very fluid cody gap ho as well as tend often been a revelation for them as well. at the back they looked solid, where, like ronald was saying they've gone away from that usual for the back. he's gone 3 on gall, but they've leak goals in the build up and qualifies. but this tournament they seem solid enough. so i'm a little bit worried for raj and see and tonight. and if you are asking me to pick one up over the dodge or it's ronald, i'm sure you agree with jason course, but in terms of that arjun time side, outside of macy, what else do the netherlands need to look out for tonight?

they don't base feel, so don't care about how beautiful they're going to play ahead. the only thing is the result. and we, we know the magnitude and depressive they are on the mexico because i've been to him officially, i continued, i've been to the continued shows and what they talk only about this, this will come messy everything the whole log of tina is depending on these wilco basically and a, and they stand up there when they go to bed with it. and we don't realize the base of the hall and we've just been like this. and that is something that we have to be worried about, that they are so hungry to go for the title. but i'm agreeing with him with jason that i think that a lot of opportunity to her to tina and the the strong day and like gladiator in the bag. but i think we can yeah. heard especially when we have to bull because that i saw it earlier on there because mrs not running back. so

there's a lot of space i think for frank young both frank young didn't play particularly well. this will come yet that us also a little bit. i had a little bit of flo buddies recovered of that, so i think would be the best tonight for bring it in because i think we will have lots of space to play in and that is what he wants, of course. so i think all i can do well, but they are messy and they are, they can, he can change in a one second the you can see him the whole game, but to great actions and you're, and you're, to me allow the strength, the strength of our agency and as they can mix it, listen, they can play and messy the plays you can create that, you know, moment of magical to nothing, but they can also mix it as well. they can make it scruffy, they can make it difficult. you know, so as long as holland can stay away from that and the game isn't stop, start which arch unseen could make it free kick, slowing it down. if holland can stick to their game plan and play with fluidity in the guile and express themselves like that, against the u. s. then they,

they can go over the like, normally you play your favorite hold on to play their lesson team. so then they enter, they put more buddies behind. so and it was difficult to to create something and now and now we play a strong team, i think they go forward a little bit more. so we get to live in the space. and with basically what you thought again, use a when they needed to go come back to score to go home and played better. the 2nd a little bit more space or the fluency in a tech. and i hope i see that back of course also against tina a fascinating matching prospects. we're looking forward to that one about before netherlands argentine at 5 sometime in brazil, play croatia in the 1st quarter finals at 1500 gmc, the brazilian. so try to keep the sand going, it is told him, but if they ought to keep. 1 dancing that has to beat the 2018 finally occasions he's a was dancing with the size of brazil's, for one way against south korea and the round of 16. and he says they won't stop dancing when they school despite criticism by so we're going to show my children.

it's a connection with a younger generation. i'm 61 years old with players who are 2325 years old. that could almost be my grandchildren. i create a connection with them with dancing, and between the people i work with those who already know me and know what's going on behind the scenes and others that don't know me. i prefer to listen to the ones that know me. if i have to dance, i will dance. jason, there's been plenty of criticism of brazil without the including bio form on into teammate roy keane. is that a rush of opinions is he? he said this disrespectful of what you will take on the dancing. i'd disagree with him to be honest, you know, this competition has been absolutely fantastic. and, you know, i go back to the welcome memories of the likes of h 2 and maybe seventy's a little bit before my time. but i've seen the footage, you know, that's how brazil played with flare. they express themselves. you know, they want to bring dunsen in the sun. but to this competition, why not? you know the whales watchin and it's, it's also a celebration of coming together and, you know,

being here in this country where everyone's together and all the cultures have come together. it's been magnificent. so to see players enjoying themselves, playing with the smile on their face. listen, you can look at, you could look at as being a, just it disrespectful it was the koreans but they won't look a lot about why they were phenomenal for 45 minutes enough star. and if they want to enjoy themselves and express themselves, and she'll be allowed to do without criticism, so keep on doing it. they've been fantastic. and i feel brazil come back to the flare. the likes of $82.70 the way the play it's. it seems free, you know the movements great that the tricks and the flex that's, you know, that's what my thoughts were like. they, it's not like they do it the 1st time you, he always put it in, in the, in the, in the bus when the singing, when they go to the court door to the dressing room, that dancing. and you can think of everything about it, but it's not like the 1st time they do it all way. so it's part of the culture, so i don't know the big fuss about it. they need to go to the carnival and really oh, really see what to call about those. and so even though you probably still do it on

the korean players like and you left like than a disrespectful, that they just the dance to their own offence. i don't see any, by the way, you're such an on roy and celebrations. did you see the other game itv against the b b c. so the palm that's played each other and he won and scored the winning goal . okay. and now we run off, took a share out of that. so you know, that's not this mistake is not what you run. let's talk a little bit about correlation for things that you mentioned earlier. the duction, the origin around the space that would be available creation would close. that will look the close down the brazilian. what are you expecting from the cry? much difficult game then again, south korea. i mean, they have so much experience specially on the midfield with moderate goes, visor, beats, and bros grateful made feel play but also the fans. youngsters. i can remember your

name with moffatt unbelievable player and very solid. they're very disciplined. and so there's going to be a tough game and they will close down the spaces for all those star from brazil. so it's going to be a big battle, of course. will me, brazil is still far out. the favorite, the wind is the gym ship. my pre predictions the before the welcome, but this is going to be tough minutes. and if you have a bad day, you know, maybe sometimes not always the best team goes through to the next round. so they have to be on the top game to beat the creation and then not for nothing. the been semi final final. so the last few years, of course, i'm a little bit worried for croatia. i just want to be in a condensed solomon's at this time let the tournaments, when i say condensed the days off have been last the place. you know the days, days between the games of been common, shorter saw where so the plane a lot more football and condense time. they don't have the strength and death if you look at the likes of france, brazil, the money to rest play is evany. got strength and death, you know,

when they change plays, the quality, same quality comes in, croatia don't, don't have the thought again. i always thing like that from regression big guys and they for whatever reason, they find the right because they're meant to be very strong and they shown it. of course, if you read the find a world cup and a semi final, then even $98.00 at the semi final so they beat us even for the affordable metal. so when i grabbed jason, i was the japan corporation that i thought was taking that 1st off, christ struggle to match the japanese the highest. i think it could be a human for them. today. the other side of the jewel gets on, do i, on saturday in your 2020 find this england say they all stronger than they've ever been. as a group granted their quarter fund against france. they feel that calvin philip says the fight has grown and improved since they last in the years final on penalties, italy and they are confident this fight facing a front side and why it's like killing them back. i believe we are still move the

group with mom a little bit and now going forward and defensively. so believe the competencies is running for them. we are very confident to go out in the next few days and hopefully time big from seeing here to show off chic. i see it's a geographic rivalry. we are neighbors were close in terms of culture, etc. apart from that, they were great team. they have incredible individuals. we saw what they achieved on home soil in the years. we see them constantly, constantly improving. so is going to be a great match to play, or an order this one should be a blockbuster who you back into in england, france. i said friends will be knocked out by 4 to go in for a new file, so i will go for them. but also i think france has a little bit more weapons and men we just mentioned, but they would also den baylor, they, they can really hurt defensive and i think they're gonna lie. hillside would be the

difference. i think england unbelievable youngsters suck, folded in billing, and i love them and, and doing great grades and keen is doing better the less game. so then quite good shape. so i'm going to be tied. but still, if i have to choose a team, i think it will be friends, but will be very close. and for me it doesn't matter for england or friends. i want to see nice football and no doesn't, doesn't matter. but i hope it's going to be an unbelievable, forgettable night tomorrow. jason, let's go back to 2002. and roy keane who you mentioned in a previous answer. we know that they was disruptions schools in the irish camp prior to the o. 2 world cup, not exactly the same thing, but there is something going on with rinaldo. also the captain of portugal, going into this game. what do you make of that situation?

well, obviously the interview before the whale corporate didn't think help the the plans with the portuguese, but the kind of got over that with some positive results kind of when you, when you know it takes, it takes the press away from that and you focus on on the games and obviously we're going into the stage of the competition. now. portugal a fly and but yeah, i said last night on the show last night that i have the sympathy for christiano. rinaldo, in the sense of when you're a megastar, a superstar you've been arguably one of the best plays in the world, the beginning of the end is sometimes hard to take as a football. and it certainly comments at that point of his career. i mean, there's manchester united, korea that is depth and obsolete out of that now, and it's not great is form coming into that. the competition suffered because of that. and obviously, with the romantic side of the whale coffee sees massey and everyone go and we'd love sema, but also for him. it's his last whale cope as well. and he asthma, vision of may be lifting this trophy and you know, go out on a high and you know,

when it's not gone to plan, it kind of hurts your ego on the any sitting there watching the play to his comment for him score hattrick. everyone celebrate and he feels terrible inside, but he wants to be part of the team. and he's just been caught in a moment where, you know, he's probably through his toys out the prom again and said, right, i'm going to go home. it's been leaked to the press and everyone's making a big story of it both. i'd like to see him. so knuckle down still play a part in the dressing room, still help to see me. because m because the last game though, fantastic. where before the friendly again this play to frame the game just before the will come also with other now they wants to kill and they just play fluid. they better without renella but he's such an unbelievable player. and he was and he still is in grade one, so i understand that everybody, everybody looking to mess with the same with portugal. it's all about christiana now and we a, we have to realize that. and there's a situation where the managers to cope with it. it's difficult,

it's always about and i might say, did it really well, but for example, i would now again, morocco, i would play him because i did the morocco game against spain. and what did morocco only play defensively the spain at the ball, 75 percent. they did a really well, i think in this game because i said i wouldn't play him in that game. but now again said the last game, one is a one. i think now did i should play? and because you need somebody like a tower, been a number 9 because he's unbelievable weight his head and think in those he doesn't have to run much because they will have probably 75 percent of all protocol. i think he can be beneficial in debt gave maybe when they play, for example, friends, i wouldn't play. yeah, i have to jump in a tony. i'm so sorry. is this i really talking to? we do have more time to be solid. there is more content on my websites out there we go over. well, thank you to both jason and ronald, the cutoff of beef,

and i think the and a po for the netherland. think argentina don't. maybe we'll go like with a, [000:00:00;00]
