    what an eye-sore this game has been.

    the only difference between the Dutch and the English last night, is that Holland are playing it to feet and getting nowhere, rather than hoofing it to Heskey and getting nowhere.

    apart from the last couple of minutes of counter-attacks ;)

    they're also passing it around their defence a piss-taking amount.

    Poor enough from Holland. Van Persie been non existent so far in this tournament.

    Japan are a decent side though.

    Indeed. At Euro '08 they shared the group of death with Italy and France. They beat both of them and you'd need to go full out to do that. You don't need to go full out against the likes of Denmark and Japan...

    Some say you owe it to the spectators / fans to play interesting football. Holland obviously failed to do that. Boring matches but the results do count :)

    Japan were OK, unlucky to concede a goal like that. They did create a fair few chances. Only watched the second half though.

    At some point in the match, were the Dutch playing with 3 at the back? Or at least one fullback was staying forward a lot. I mean De Jong had to move out to the wings to cover.

    http://bit.ly/cUmkWv Match report.


    Insipid display from Holland again, although Japan are notoriously good at stopping teams from playing. Robben's return should give them the necessary lift.
