Dutch stun world champions

World champions Italy suffered a calamitous start to their Euro 2008 campaign as they succumbed to an impressive Holland in their Group C opener in Bern.

The Dutch were lucky to take a 26th-minute lead after Ruud van Nistelrooy turned in Giovanni van Bronckhorst's effort from an offside position.

Wesley Sneijder then celebrated his 24th birthday in style by adding his team's second on the half-hour mark following a superb counter-attack.

Italy had numerous chances to reduce the deficit after the re-start but Edwin van der Sar came to the rescue making stunning saves from Andrea Pirlo's free-kick and then Fabio Grosso's close-range effort.

Van Bronckhorst completed a wonderful evening for the Oranje by heading past goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon in the 79th minute as Holland celebrated their first victory against the Italians since the 1978 World Cup.

The atmosphere at the Stade de Suisse was electric with the Oranje fans far outnumbered the Azzurri supporters.

Reds swoop for Dossena

Liverpool are on the brink of completing the £7million signing of full-back Andrea Dossena.

The 26-year-old is believed to be on Merseyside having a medical ahead of a proposed move from Udinese.

The deal has been confirmed by the player's agent, Federico Pastorello, who has been quoted in the Italian media as saying: "Everything is confirmed and we have already exchanged documents via fax. The deal is practically done."

Dossena is getting married at the weekend, but both club and player want the medical concluded and the final details of the deal settled before then.
