    Holland look clueless.

    Get VDV on at half-time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,239 ✭✭✭KittyeeTrix


    crappy corner:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,361 ✭✭✭Boskowski


    I'd say the Dutch just hate it when someone is actually playin better than them.


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 15,001 ✭✭✭✭Pepe LeFrits


    The amount of playacting in this game is very irritating.

    Brazil look better in pretty much every area.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,398 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    Fiery latino types are certainly more interesting goal side than their European counterparts,......Be great to see Brazil v argentina with a little side window just showing the managers throughout the game:D

    Exactly what I was thinking. Although I think if Argentina lose Maradonna's antics are going to turn nasty.

    Who's that injured for Brazil????


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,326 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    Poor from Robben there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,178 ✭✭✭_Bella_


    Robben should have taken the shot there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,307 ✭✭✭cruiserweight


    Robben needed to shoot or play in Van Persie, instead he did nothing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,239 ✭✭✭KittyeeTrix


    Oooh fook, thought that was in there:eek:

    Give him a bit of credit, he spun around in a circle a bit.:D

    The Dutch are right on the ragged edge when defending, I can see someone doing something silly. As for Robben - just fecking shoot or pass!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,178 ✭✭✭_Bella_


    David Beckhams at Wimbledeon!


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,348 ✭✭✭Quandary


    That Brazil defence is rock solid. Robinho is having some tournament, if Citeh have to sell him they'll get their money back at the very least


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    The better defence is winning. Not sure if the Dutch can break Brazil down. They seem bereft of imagination.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,239 ✭✭✭KittyeeTrix


    Great game....
    Hope the 2nd half is as fast paced:)
    Now, food before I collapse!!!! Enjoy the shower Sherifu:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,476 ✭✭✭✭Ush1


    I think what can't be over looked is the atleticism of Brazils centre backs. They are much quicker and more decisive then the Dutch counter parts.

    wtf has that got to do with Holland -v- Brazil in the quarter-final of the World cup ?


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,528 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    Holland
    The Dutch are not up for this and Brazil are pulling out all the stops. It could be a massacre. Van Persie and Robben are a joke, but at least ould Kuyty is giving it his all. Stekelenburg has had to be on top of his game a couple of times.

    Short of a Sneijder moment of magic I don't see Holland getting back into this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 765 ✭✭✭ultain


    Brazil are a class apart..if robben gets a belt and has to come off then it truly is curtains for the Netherlands:mad:..they have to go two up front in the second half!!

    To be fair to the Dutch, Brazils defenders are far more impressive from an athletic point of view than any other team in the tournament. I have always been a big fan of Lucio (I'm a CB myself). Maicon is an absolute machine! He is like Cafu, only a few inches taller and a bit more meat on him. He genuinely looks as if he could sprint for 90 mins.

    Yes, and a third I'd say

    Exactly. Their CBs snuff the ball out or close the Dutch player down very quickly. Brazil will be a very tough side to beat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,567 ✭✭✭✭murpho999


    Watching this with my Dutch missus.....she's going mad, and now wants to hit Ronnie Whelan after his comment that Dutch keeper touched ball from Maicon's shot that should have been a corner instead of a goal kick.....gas to see how people react when nervous.

    Dutch need to change tack and up their game or they are on the plane home in 45 mins.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,432 ✭✭✭df1985

    more likely than the dutch getting one anyway imo.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,348 ✭✭✭Quandary


    Robben can be so frustrating at times.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,449 ✭✭✭SuperInfinity


    Agreed. Another great chance blown by Robben.

    Kaka seems to have regained some sharpness anyway.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,169 ✭✭✭JohnnyRyan99


    I can see the Dutch pushing and pushing for the equalizer and eventually getting caught with too many up ..Brazil willl break and make it two.. In the end it'll be an easy Brazilian victory!

    Scrath That

    True, I think he can picture the headlines if he scores and Holland get a result. Then again if the option in front of you was Van Persie you could see why he is trying to do it all himself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,392 ✭✭✭✭Oat23


    Elia
    or
    GTFO.

    Should have been a 2nd yellow.
