THE only things certain to emerge from Zurich tonight are retirements and recriminations.
What remains unclear is if they will come from the French or Italian camp, or even both. Unthinkably, the destiny of these two football superpowers is out of their hands.
While there was an expectation before the competition that the meeting of these two arch rivals would result in disastrous consequences for the losers, it was never quite considered that the same could be said for the victors -- if there is one.
Success for either party will matter only if Romania fail to beat Holland down the road in Berne.
Resting
That may not sound remarkable in normal circumstances, but add in the fact that the already qualified Dutch will be resting their top stars and that the Romanians took four points off them in qualifying and suddenly it's not so straightforward.
From their base in Lausanne yesterday, Marco van Basten insisted that they will be going all-out to win the game. Let's face it, he was hardly going to say anything else, but the Romanians are formidable opposition in their own right. Throw in the desire they will have to put another one over on the Dutch and the stage is set for an intriguing encounter.
So, where would elimination leave France and Italy? Well, for starters, Raymond Domenech and Roberto Donadoni would get the bullet, with Didier Deschamps and Marcello Lippi touted as respective replacements.
A clutch of Italy's 'pensioners' are set for an international departure soon anyway but the process will be accelerated if they lose tonight, while the French will bid adieu to Lilian Thuram, Claude Makelele and possibly goalkeeper Gregory Coupet. Illustrious international careers are not supposed to end like this.
The Italian press are already writing about the inevitable return of Lippi to unseat the hapless Donadoni who, they say, has completely lost the dressing room.
Domenech has taken plenty of flak for his erratic team selections, particularly his loyalty to the off-form Florent Malouda and preference for Coupet over Sebastien Frey. The omission from the original squad of Philippe Mexes and Mathieu Flamini has also been used as a stick to beat him with.
Irish assistant manager Marco Tardelli, working for Italian TV, has joined in with the bashing of Domenech, who is even less popular in Italy than he is in France.
"I am sure we will go through", said Tardelli of the Italians. "Fortunately France are coached by Domenech. He is our secret weapon, so we can succeed."
Tardelli has also been scathing about Donadoni, albeit in a less blatant fashion. You wonder if he feels it would be better for Ireland if he somehow scraped through tonight, and then past Spain at the weekend to make it to the semi-finals, the target that has been set for him if he is to retain his role.
After training in the Letzigrund Stadium last night, Donadoni insisted that he wasn't feeling any extra stress, as he tried to laugh off the precariousness of his situation.
"I don't know if my hair is getting any greyer", he joked. "Every morning I wake up and there's some more grey hair on the pillow but maybe that's just normal. I know what we've got to do here, and hopefully we'll do it."
Certainly, he quashed any suggestion that he would give his pal Van Basten a buzz to encourage him for a favour.
"That would be offensive, a ridiculous way to behave", he asserted. "And anyway, if I look at the guys in the Dutch reserves, for them it would be humiliating to lose after the other guys won the first two games."
The statement may well have veracity, but there's little denying that any pain felt by the Dutch back-up would be minor compared to the suffering felt by a French or Italian team sent home at this juncture.
"I haven't packed my bags yet", said Donadoni.
It will take a great escape to prevent him from facing that task tomorrow morning.
Dutch supporters, meanwhile, continue to marvel at the football being played by their team under van Basten.
When he graced AC Milan's forward line, van Basten debated with Arrigo Sacchi why the Italian coach believed so strongly in the need to win with elan. When van Basten began running Ajax's 'B' team, he visited Arsenal to talk with Arsene Wenger about panache's place in an increasingly pragmatic sport. He listened well.
Euro 2008 has confirmed van Basten to be a member of the coaching style council.
His talent honed at the Ajax home of Johan Cruyff, van Basten was an elegant member of Rinus Michels' Dutch European champions of 1988 but not all great players either make successful coaches, or produce richly entertaining teams. Van Basten, such a dexterous striker, appears to have mastered another difficult trick.
Echoes of the teachings of Wenger and particularly Sacchi reverberate through van Basten's orange orchestra playing to packed towns, let alone packed arenas out here.
Cruyff sits in the smart seats, beaming happily as Wesley Sneijder, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Rafael van der Vaart, Dirk Kuyt, Arjen Robben and Robin van Persie cut a swathe through Euro 2008.
Those conversations with Sacchi 20 years ago shaped van Basten's thinking.
"Marco used to ask me why we had to win and also be convincing,'' recalled Sacchi.
"A few years ago, France Football made their list of the 10 greatest teams in history. My Milan was right up there. World Soccer did the same: my Milan was fourth, but the first three were national teams -- Hungary '54, Brazil '70 and Holland '74. And then us.
"So I took those magazines and told Marco: 'This is why you need to win and you need to be convincing.' I didn't do it because I wanted to write history. I did it because I wanted to give 90 minutes of joy to people. And I wanted that joy to come not from winning, but from being entertained, from witnessing something special.
Passion
"I did this out of passion, not because I wanted to manage Milan or win the European Cup. I was just a guy with ideas and I loved to teach. A good manager is both screenwriter and director. The team has to reflect him.''
Holland's industry, movement, creativity and eye for the spectacular goal certainly reflect van Basten, the three-time European Footballer of the Year.
Things have been improving ever since Edwin van der Sar brought a rapprochement between van Basten and van Nistelrooy, who was out of favour. Van Nistelrooy is now so selflessly committed to van Basten's 4-2-3-1 formation that he regularly tops UEFA stats, even topping six miles running per match. He makes van Basten's system work by creating space for Sneijder and the rest to run into.
Last December's switch to 4-2-3-1 again reflects van Basten's willingness to listen to players. But where van Basten most engages with Sacchi's philosophy is in his attacking substitutions. Even when leading, he does not close up. He opens up more, throwing on players designed to trouble the opponents' defence.
Betfair Bet: France 2-1, Italy 6-4, Draw 11-4 .
Befair Bet: Netherlands 9-4, Romania 6-5, Draw 3-1. |
