Holland defeated Italy 3-0 in their opening game and followed that up by thrashing France 4-1. France's defense was constantly stretched by Holland's attackers. Was Italy's poor defensive showing attributed to Cannavaro's absence or the skill of the Dutch?
The Dutch have booked a slot in the next round in convincing fashion. It will be a nervous final group match for both Italy and France who meet each other next in what is a must-win for both sides. Holland has nothing to play for and Romania might just spring a surprise by beating the Oranje and as a result knocking out both Italy and France. That would be sensational. This is the ultimate "group of Death".
