Referee did well to wave play on after some blatant shirt pulling from the defender, but once he broke away, wow. Brushed those players aside with ease! I would have disallowed it though for the foul on the #7 in white.
The Dutch coach (Bert van Marwijk) has proven yet again that he is a chicken. He will only play with one striker (Robin van Persie) and Huntelaar has to start from the bench.
So ridiculous, so many players lacking form and you bench one of your top players so that you can play the holy 4-3-2-1 / 4-3-3
Sorry guys! You will see again some ugly football from Holland. Eventhough we have one of the most technical players of the tournament
Just get Van Bommel out for Van der Vaart and Van Persie for Huntelaar. But since Van Bommel is Van Marwijk's son in law and Van Persie is his favorite player they will both play.
And yes we will play ugly football again, its nice to get in the final with ugly football but I prefer playing great football and going out in the quarter final or in the semi final.
If you ask me I like EC 2008 better than the last WC, at least for The Netherlands.
At Arsenal he is amazing but when he wears the orange shirt he cant get in to his normal form. With Huntelaar we play a lot better.
Dont get me wrong, I think he is one of the best players but Arsenal the whole team plays for him since they dont have another player like him but in the Dutch team we have Sneijder and Robben who are more important imo.
Off to Wembley today to see the England v Belgium game, and Chris Kamara apparently playing his charity single - what more could a man want on a Saturday afternoon?
