Apparently you could even see it in his walk/runs on the pitch. Van Persie, Vaart and Robben all injured after this match. The "offical" match-review will be posted soon!!

But today I watched Holland and definetely the team didn´t show anything. There were some chances to be fair but team work is not there. Seedorf started great at the left and he did a lot of damage there but when he was switched to the right he was useless. What happened to Robben was an insult...ok, he didn´t play a good game but to subtitute him like is crazy. Marco van Basten doesn´t know how to motivate and give confidence to his players at all, we all know that. The first and second goal showed that Slovenia is a crappy team and even though they are pretty limited they created some chances. I think the KNVB should let van Basten finish the qualifiers and right after that ask him to resign or fire him and hopefully Kesler will go with him. Holland looks like a team with no spirit and no understanding between players. I only liked some moves from Sneijder, van Persie, Seedorf and Huntelaar but nothing else...and the players I mention just made somo good moves because their overall performance was not good just as the whole team´s. I think for the pride of van Basten it will be good for him to quit and go to Ajax once he acomplishes the last qualifier. Funny how the camera man showed the faces of de Haan and van Basten pretty quickly and some youngsters asking van Basten to leave. I wish that scenario become reality before the Euro 2008 because with other stronger rivals we don´t have a chance, not because we don´t have the players or because we have a weak defence but because the team certainly doesn´t look happy and enjoying themselves under this coach. Sometimes you change the coach and nothing happens and sometimes changing the coach makes everything different. I think this time if we get a new coach everything will change to improve. By the way, this guy Jaliens is the worst right back I have seen in my whole life. What is he doing on the team?. Oh yeah, I forgot, van Basten is the coach. =) Well, we are 4 points ahead of Bulgaria because they have tied two easy games now.

Bulgaria had to scored an 87 minute goal, and then there keeper saved a penalty in the 90th. I can't believe everyone got injured, I wanted to finally have a game with a lot of goals. Hopefully we get 3 or 4 against Luxembourg, adn then another 2 or 3 against Belarus. Albania almost beat bulgaria.

If Robin hadn't missed the penalty against Man City, then he probably wudve taken the next 2 penalties for Arsenal, and have 7 goals. And if he had gotten to play against Derby, he could easily be in the double digits. I completely agree.
