I thought that.

They're a funny old team. Robben is good (but a cheat), Schneider classy, van Persie ok when he can be arsed, but other than that they're quite workmanlike aren't they?

Kuyt is pretty average, and I can't believe (brilliant goal aside) van Bronckhorst still plays international football.

What distance did Giovanni Van Bronckhorst strike the ball from into the ?

My guess: 33 yards

 

[Twinkle Toes]

I really hope somebody does a proper 'hatchet job' on that snivelling little shit ROBBEN before this World Cup finishes.

That is all.

What is Martin Keown wearing the Dutch No. 6 shirt for. I thought he had retired

Do you think after YEARS of real flair sides who've failed to go the distance they've finally plumped for more of an "English" style hard working team, with a couple of stars, to try a new approach?

You are right though, Van B is normally toilet and they even have Blackburn failure Andre Ooijer in the squad. Not to mention Boulahrouz. HOW are they on their way to the World Cup final?

Not very inspiring is it.

Starting to think the Dutch and the Germans have been involved in some mysterious experiment in which the characteristics of their national teams have been secretly swapped.

The Germans get all the flair and goals and the Dutch are left with a newly efficient psyche and a tendency to roll round pretending to be injured.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Keeper should have had that.

 

[Horsham Gull]

1-1 forlan

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Get In Diego!!!!!

 

[Johnny Crumplin Football]

[perseus]

Shock



Holland 1 Uruguay 1



Kuipers would have saved it! 25 yards?

 

[Colossal Squid]

Keeper should have had that.

True, but it wasn't quite Robert Green-esque

 

[SNOOBS]

Pathetic keeping
