Hi Jim

I have always been confused when to use "Netherlands" and/or Holland.
Here in England the norm as far as the media is to use Holland. The match commentators tonight indeed are using Holland and the Newspapers today also use that name.

The matches at half-time are both 1-1. It is exciting in that with every goal the team that will qualify change.

Ronaldo tonight is everywhere and despite missing a couple of goals scored to equalise a Van der Vart absolute cracker.

I can see the position changing even more times as the games go into the second half.

Cheers
