Group C: Day 1 Results

Gio sparkles as the Dutch attack, reminiscent of the Clockwork Oranje, ticks like a fine Suisse timepiece.

Romania 0-0 France

In an uneventful snoozer of a match, Les Bleus failed to impress on their way to a 0-0 draw with Group of Death light-weights Romania.

Netherlands 3-0 Italy
Ruud van Nistelrooy (26)
Wesley Sneijder (31)
Giovanni Van Bronckhorst (80)

In a blazing attacking display, the Oranje rang up the famously stingy Azzurri for three goals. Gio Van Bronckhorst, who many pundits claimed was past his prime, scored the third while playing a decisive role in the buildup of the second. Maybe Total Football isn't dead afterall?
