Makes a change, it's usually presented as the other way round.

Marton ONeill was very scathing (probably not the right word) about LVG. Do you reckon he fancied the Man U gig?
Sort of "i did this at leicester, and brian did it at Forest." |

The arrogant Dutch were almost out of the World Cup today. Another Robben dive put them through. Based on that performance a few England players could stake their claim in that team.

Holland beat a very good unbeaten Mexico side in temperatures of 38 degrees. This Holland team would play us off the pitch. |

Holland got extremely lucky today. Robben is carrying them as a team and has even admitted diving.

I don't get it- why just randomly attack the England squad? Most people know Holland are a better team. Very strange. Makes me think he has a bit of a chip on his shoulder.

I don't understand why RvP came off early.

If van Gaal thinks the current Dutch goalkeeper is better than any in the current England squad then he must be spending too much time in the Amsterdam coffeeshops.

The Dutch goalkeeper looks suspect to me as well. Surprised he's ahead of Krul.

The Dutch have constantly through the years out performed England.

Guess who the manager was then.. ![]() Netherlands main problem over the years has been a split camp - atm they seem very united. |

This Dutch team are far from special. Granted, they're better than England, but take out RVP and Robben and you're looking at a pretty ordinary bunch of players there, particularly at the back.
And I'm also pretty sure that van Gaal wouldn't say no to Hart or Cahill for his first XI either if he could use them. |

But he's proving all though he doesn't have 11 "all stars" he has a great team, and knows how to play them and when to use his subs. Holland yesterday just never gave up, if that was England with 2 mins of normal time left, they would of sat back and taken it to extra time.
To be fair Robyn had been brought down twice in the box already, and jumped another 2 footed tackle, which he could of ran at and been brought down again, so a penalty was probably coming. |

I think Robben is a terrific player ... but he is also a self-confessed cheat, not that anyone who saw him playing for Chelsea, never mind now, needed his confession to know that. This is why he will never be regarded in the same way as, for instance, Messi or just about any of the great players past and present; Robben too often leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
