Van Basten: I wouldn’t be so sure about winnine a penalty shootout, yes, van der Sar is excellent, the last time we had penalty-shootouts he was also in the zone, but that’s the only reason why we won that penalty-shootout. The reason why we always loose at penalty-shootouts is because our players don’t take them the right way, they didn’t last time around, and we were just lucky van der Sar was so good.

Look at the Italians if you want to know how to shoot penalties. Like Pirlo’s penalty, but they all shoot them the same way, high and close to the crossbar, that’s why van der Sar couldn’t save any in 2000, the Italians can shoot the penalty in such a way that no keeper in the world can stop them, that’s what the Dutch don’t train for I think, seeing how they were shooting the penalties against Sweden last time.

Bunchapooha says: ok, Alexey: I say Holland Russia 0-4

Jan says: a very tight victory with bad football and a late Sneijder goal from a free kick, that wasn’t really a foul…

Edwin van der Sar is a Legend. That is an undisputable fact! I’ve grown up watching him with Ajax when he won the Champions League. But that following year, I was disappointed with him for not making any saves against Juventus. Also in the Euro 2000. He always guessed the right side but he could not save any. For years on, it was always the same story. Great goalie but cannot make the decisive stop in a penalty shootout. But somehow now he has undergone a metarmorphosis. He makes breathtaking saves in the games, and finally in the Champions League he wins on a penalty shootout when it mattered the most. I still hope he remains the goalie until after South Africa 2010. I am still not sure with the penalty shootout. That’s our “achilles’s heel”. I hope we will win without resorting to them!Van Basten said he already has his top 5 penalty kickers.
So that means in any penalty shootout, he is certain we will win.
Thank You, Van der Sar. Thank You!
