Comments on: The Specialist: The Sliding Tackle… http://netherlands.worldcupblog.org/1/the-specialist-the-sliding-tackle.html World Cup 2010 - South Africa, Oranje, Nederlands Elftal, Eredivisie, Marco van Basten, Dutch football, The Netherlands Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:30:06 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Caleb http://netherlands.worldcupblog.org/1/the-specialist-the-sliding-tackle.html/comment-page-1#comment-163144 Caleb Wed, 25 Feb 2009 14:43:25 +0000 http://netherlands.worldcupblog.org/1/the-specialist-the-sliding-tackle.html#comment-163144 I didn't see the game, only the highlights, but I agree with Goose about Inter from what I saw. And this is the team that has been dominating the Serie A for the last 4 seasons? Arsenal completely dominated Roma too... Roma looked completely outclassed. Unfortunately Arsenal couldn't finish off the tie - they certainly had enough chances to do it! Some horrible misses that I really hope don't come back to haunt them. @Alex - you don't think it was a penalty against van Persie?? He might have gone down somewhat easily, but there was certainly more than enough contact there for it to be a penalty. And VP did convert it like a pro, didn't he? :-) I didn’t see the game, only the highlights, but I agree with Goose about Inter from what I saw.

I hope Robben, Sneijder and Vaart play great and win. I am very excited about the Madrid-Liverpool match. I hope Robben, Sneijder and Vaart play great and win.

Inter did suck ass, and I was appaled that Chivu said it was a fantastic game for Inter, maybe they are used to playing like this but my second division amature team plays better football than Inter did. Or might I actually be playing in Serie A ? :) ? Atletico drew 2-2 against Porto, but Porto were better and dominated, Atletico's defence looked very shaky, I'm shocked that the coach left Heitinga out of the squad and put seitaridis in. Surely Heitinga is better then him. Thought Pablo and Ujfalusi were not convincing in centre, i'd give the duo Heitinga-Ujfalusi another shot if i were Resino. They were very strong at the start of La Liga. V.Persie saved the game for Arsenal, went down very easy and scored the penalty like a pro: 1-0.
