No probs Angela. I’ll get some more out. The Dutch media are all over Mark at the moment.

Carlos: how come you can watch all those games???

Yes agree with most comments- Goose especially.
Huntelaar not fed at all,the few touches he had was ok.De Jong very solid and vB provided some steel. Robben sadly didnt play for the team. vP great goal but should have scored twice more at least.Gio also solid as was Heitinga. Hesselink played decent but should have put that open goal chance away in injury time.
Quite happy with the general play – bring in Wesley leave out Robben.

Van Bommel / De Jong duo seemed pretty strong. I was pissed off at Robben who was again like a 20-year old wannabe star, trying to take all the glory by taking hard shots instead of passing the ball to a free teammate. Huntelaar didn’t get any good balls as well, so that was a bit worrying.

But all in all it was a good game. NL created many good chances and the game was fast-paced. I think Marwijk might turn out to be a solid coach.

agree,
Huntelaar was not fed decently.. but dont think he was playing good either..

Im happy for van Bommel.. Wish Seedorf was among the group as well.. Hes still an amazing player and deserves a place in the squad.

@ramy; its always positive if you create many changes..with strikers a bit more sharp we would have won easily
i was pretty happy that they played a ‘real’game
but you could see we miss Sneijder, Huntelaar got no decent balls
Robben was just looking for own glory
all in all a nice game

Rvn wouldve scored 5 goals with the chances that went begging.. that was one hell of a frustrating match.. it was probably robben, huntelaar, kuyt, at their worst.. but all in all it was good, even if we deserved to win..

Van bommel and De Jong were strong, especially Mark. Heitinga was good, but the rest of the backline, i cant wait to get rid of.. We need marcellis, and zuiverloon!!

1-1; russian penalty (foul by vBronckhorst)
very nice game. esp. for a friendly played in august!! pretty strong overall performance
our defensive midfield with vBommel (who played good) and deJong
we had many changes to win this game but the russian goalie was great
