Comments on: Match day 3; what have we learned? http://netherlands.worldcupblog.org/euro-2008/match-day-3-what-have-we-learned.html World Cup 2010 - South Africa, Oranje, Nederlands Elftal, Eredivisie, Marco van Basten, Dutch football, The Netherlands Tue, 24 Nov 2009 08:05:34 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Paz` http://netherlands.worldcupblog.org/euro-2008/match-day-3-what-have-we-learned.html/comment-page-1#comment-155733 Paz` Wed, 11 Jun 2008 13:24:58 +0000 http://netherlands.worldcupblog.org/euro-2008/match-day-3-what-have-we-learned.html#comment-155733 johannes | June 10th, 2008 at 7:30 pm I don't know what game you watched, but before the 1-0 I saw Van the Man being touched by Buffon in a 1-on-1 situation, where he would definately have gotten the penalty kick, had he gone down. And even thought the first goal was freaky, the second was simply a perfectly executed counter-attack, so there was nothing weird about that one. The Italians had no control over the midfield at all untill halfway the second half and that's where they lost the game. When they were in possesion this was in big part due to Kuyt's up-front defending. On the dutch right wing I haven't seen any upcoming Italian midfielder all match. Granted, France is another match and it remains to be seen how that will work out, but the Italians simply got outclassed in monday's match. johannes | June 10th, 2008 at 7:30 pm

I think Holland and France were already qualified to the next round. In 1996, Holland lost to France after penalty. In 2000, Holland beat France in the last match.

I was happy to see Marco screaming and giving instructions to his players, last WC he didn't do that and now he seems to be very involved with his players. He has changed but I hope he makes no crazy decisions. We lost against France in England’s EC in 1996.

We would have played them if we would have beaten the Divine Canaries in the semis. In 1998, they beat us to the title is what Kyle means, I think.

Which games? 90? 94? 98 ? Dont think we played them...but I could be wrong. We beat them in Euro 2000 :) Hi Kyle

So, start with the same players against Italy. Robben can play only if Holland fail to score or after 60 minutes. Start with Kuyt, also start with Boulah. Hup Holland Hup....

Technically, they are very good--and I'm glad to see them thump the mafia crowd from russsia. Spain were certainly impressive–I have never seen a team with better first-touch and ball control skills.

Stick with the 11 you started and work Van Persie in at the 60th minute mark. For now we must get ready for the French, should I remind all of our world cup lost to them in the 90's?
