Gio is left fullback, Kromkamp right. Most opponents will play with one or two strikers. So why use 4 defenders... That was my point... @Jezza

You're right, our B Team won from Mexico. And considering that they haven't played together like this too much before, it was a good performance. Here, I'll sing with you: ORANJE BOVEN, ORANJE BOVEN! OLE! OLE! OLE! I still think landzaat played like shit, though.. :) @Martijn

(Goto www.sopcast.com) And since my french isn't that great I tuned into the dutch radio show 'Langs de Lijn' for the commentary (www.omroep.nl) at the same time.. Honestly, the sopcast thing is a pain the ass. The feeds vary in quality quite a bit.. (but they are free) For Sunday's game I'll go with www.knvb.nl/live again.. (thurs game was not available in US due to restrictions) @Rudy

The distribution of the ball will be very efficient. seen iniesta there, impressive. but then there would be a need for two very strong centre backs (cocu & ??), which netherlands does not have.... i think cocu must play in midfield to provide some cover up for a fragile defense and more attacking options for the sidebacks... @Jan

HUP HOLLAND! @lars

Some good performances by Kuyt ( mainly 2nd half ), Babel was involved alot ( missed a chance for open goal though ). Sneijder did great, brilliant freekick and save from the Mexican keeper. My prefered line up would have to be: VD Sar, Van Bronkhorst, Ooijer, Boulahrouz, Heitinga, VD Vaart, Cocu, Van Bommel, Robben, Van Nistelrooy, Van Persie subs: Sneijder for Van Bommel, Kuyt for Van persie and Mathijssen for Boulahrouz.

Every game last season wen he started for arsenal they would only score maybe one goal or none. He is very good on the ball and is a pleasure to watch but no way would i put him in instead of kuyt, van persie hasnt scored for about 15 competitive games. kuyt is a special player who knows wat to do with the ball and he scores regulary. give kuyt his chance to impress this is his world cup i can see it! van persie will have his chance in the next world cups! i fink you guys are piling too much praise on van persie! i admit he is an extremly skiful player. but from a arsenal fans point of view he doesnt score enough goals.
