so jan
your mins by mins report covers what happened.
I was at the stedium as I said.
alot of dutches therearound.
Andmany Thais are also wearing Orange too.
but team Netherlands wear white.
Weather is hot here and guest team take very good care from induries, so we can judge Orange playedasit’s70%
Thais are worked very hard and rewarded from a very beautiful freekick to have a reasonable scoe line1-3. They could have troubled us more if they are not that tiny compared to Koreans.

turning to out team,
Starting line up was,
Slory, Kuyt, Vaart
Sneijder, De zueew, Lanzaart
De cler, Mathism, Heitinga and Malchiot.
Two center backs were perfact and de cler was very helpful in attacks. medoica Malchoit was replaced by better perfromed Jalians.
De Zueew never made mistake and distribute well for counter attacks. My best newbie!
Lanzaart can’t see very much, very normal, I came to know why Basten stick to him only when he was replaced by worsen DeJong.
No future for Slory, proved.
Vaart ruled the left and Schnijder+ de Cler dominate the right. Who can say Vaart and Sneijder can not play together?
Schnider’s long passes were nothing less than Beckham!
Kuyt was not brillant at the left wing too. Hunter showed up much more dangerous shots than he did. Giant Engelaar was so difficult for Thai Bumpees. Another interesting newface!
Only shame was Basten’s goal thurst was never fed a good glass of water. He put 3strikers after Thais reduced thier deposit and failed to add up any.
De Zueew, Engelaar did well as new faces, de Cler more threatening than ever and Vaart and Sneijder shared their teritorries fairly.
Not abad performance!
Game has over Orange shirts are still spreading nearby beerbars aroundthestedium.

Ok, so we win again. Tho not spectacular, it really seems like it was a pretty easy Asian trip. Vaart seems to be really on his game right now. Sept can’t come soon enough. Here is my dream lineup for those games:

Melchiot – Heit – Boula – Gio

De Zee—–Sneijder—–Davids:-)

Vaart——RvNistel—–RvPersie

or you can have RvN and RvP as the two lone strikers up front with Vaart sitting behind them as an attacking Mid, tho he seemed to play pretty well on the wing in these last two games.

Robben(sub), sorry Kuyt(he’s too frustrating to watch – so much energy expended, not enough results)

thanx sphinx, nice report…sure looked very hot indeed… good to hear about deZeeuw, think hell be a great one for us on midfield in the near future…good to hear also that deCler performed…have always been a deCler ‘fan’..think both Landzaat and deJong havent got what it takes to perform at international level, good that vanBasten has had the change to see that for himself..maybe hell learn…

were you standing with the other Oranje fans?? Was it a bit of a party??

Would love to see our team play live, ill have to wait until after summer when qualifications return… thanx again sphinx

heres mine:

Sar

deCler, Boula, Heitinga, Bouma

Schaars, vdVaart, deZeeuw, Robben

vanPersie

vanNistelrooy

VanPersie as shadow striker, Robben as midfieldplayer, Heitinga as ‘ausputzer’(gotta love those german words, like Schwalbe and Anslusstreffer)
we could also lose Robben and put Sneijder next to vdVaart

(and in a dreamworld i would change Schaars with vanBommel)

true comment about Kuyt…isnt he more a midfieldplayer than anything else?

That’s nice too goose. In a perfect world, I would also like to see RvP as a shadow striker. But since Marco is inflexible about the 4-3-3, I had to put Persie on the wing.

Goose,
Orange fans were scattered at the start. Tics have seat numbers. After 10-15 mins groups gathered up.
I was with some fans fly form China at the pitch. Some also come from Malaysia.
Thai travel agents are smart enough to take this opportunity to invite Fam: tours. So many came directly from Nitherlands.
We talked alot about Netherlans team and every supporter have same feeling, we didn’t played enough. Fans expected more goals!
They also cheered at Thai team too. Many said Orange faced more difficult with Thailand than in Korea.
We celebrated a small beer party after match ofcourse. That’s really fun!
I like
Sar

deCler, Boula, Heitinga, Bouma

Schaars, , deZeeuw,
vdVaart Seedorf, vanPersie

vanNistelrooy

heitinga, bouma, mathijsen

sneijder, afellay, seedorf, vaart

I like that line up Miguel!

Jeroen, I know a Jeroen in Sydney… Will there be many Jeroens there ? Is it you I know? Jeroen N?

Posted from  Australia

Nope, Jeroen V, sorry. I didn’t realise there would be more “Jeroens” in Sydney! Hahaha, It’s certainly a strange name here…

Posted from  United States

It is. This bloke is a Dutch expat working for a big bank… But you can imagine how my name is pronounced over here….

Posted from  Australia

well, wont tell my real name after these comments, hahahahaha

ofcourse, forgot about Seedorf in my line-up..stupid.. ill change Schaars for Seedorf..
Steph.; youre ofcousre right..vanBasten will hang on to the 4-3-3 system…i would even go so far as to say that he is willing to try mediocre players at the wings if nescessary and let better players out goes it doenst suit the system..i never had much problems on the left wing (is it because lefties are more artistic and theirfor better wingers?) but on the right side we havent had a decent one since vantSchip (only when Overmars changed from left to right)..he has tried Kuyt, Babel, Robben, etc.etc….he even went so far as to ask Kalou to become a dutch national and garuenteed(?) he would have a starting position..Cruijff even went to say that it was cause of the dutch government, who didnt granted Kalou his passport, that Oranje played so bad at the WC!!

MR: dont you think that your midfield had too little defencive qualities…very attacking midfield you have

line up i’d like to see:

de Cler Heitinga Boula Gio

Seedorf De Zeeuw Sneijder

——-van der Vaart——–

van Nistelrooy van Persie

Igor, that would work… I’d still love to see Robben (in form) in the squad. He’s like mercury, if it clicks it’s as if there is no opponent at all…

I wonder if you’d put 12 players on the pitch how long it would take for the ref/opponent/fans to actually see that .

JC once said he seriously thought about starting with 10 instead of 11 at Barca to keep everyone on their toes .

It would be fun if the KNVB would sack MvB and put Goose in charge…

Jack van Gelder: Goose, why did you leave Ruud van Nistelrooy and Clarence Seedorf out of the squad???

Goose: Huh? Oh….SHIT… Clarence and Ruud…. Oh…fukc…forgot

Sorry Goose, couldn’t resist… Now Ismael is gone (where the hell is he??) you are a nice target….. Hahahahahahaha….

Thank you Goose. You are my friend.
You no worries ok? I was away a while and now you mis me. Is good .

I think 4-4-2 is good, with

Sar

Melchiot – Boulah – Landzaat – De Cler

Vaart Sneijder De Zeeuw Robben

Ruud Robin

Clarence on Bench I am sorry.

I think Kuyt not in selection. Huntelaar and Vennegoor on bench. And Bouma on bench. Gio out. I have good feelings for this
