georginho_juventusygr Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 The key to win against Japan is scoring one goal as soon as possible. Throughout their matches in the World Cups, Japan are a resilient team. They fight until they can't breath again. But when you score one, it will be easier in the rest of the game to score. It's not that their confidence is shattered after conceding, but somehow, their organization becomes messy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georginho_juventusygr Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Saying that, if you score at the 5th minute, it won't be a surprise if you win 8-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Elija sure was dangerous today. Sorry vdV, but I think Elija pips it at the moment. Yet, I don't think Bert will veer from the plan so quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, I don't think Bert will veer from the plan so quickly. He might do it in the game against Cameroon (especially if we by that game have qualified for the KO stages), but can't see him change the team for the game against Nippon..

Micado Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 Michel Vorm flew back to Holland directly after the game against Denmark to visit his wife and first born son, who was born Monday morning.

They fight until they can't breath again. But when you score one, it will be easier in the rest of the game to score. It's not that their confidence is shattered after conceding, but somehow, their organization becomes messy. As with most teams. However the Japanese are more tactically naive than other sides, so when they go a goal down they abandon their initial starting plan to try and get back on level terms. This is when teams exploit them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Whats the story with van Persie - is he liked by his team mates. He always seems on the outer whenever playing for Oranje? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micado Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 He is liked, in fact, the whole team is really a team, as said/showed yesterday in the evening WC show. But it seems he is missing "it". He was great in the friendlies but somehow he has lost it so far, no clue why though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepydude Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I think he's still struggling with a lack of match fitness, and perhaps with the lack of space provided by the defenses of Denmark and Japan. Also, I have a feeling that Holland is at its best when playing stronger teams that don't park the bus as much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micado Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 Yeah, that is what Ron Jan/Verbeek yesterday said as well, he is fit, but not 100% match fit, as those friendly games really doesn't resemble the intensitiy used in games at the WC.

DJ Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Appelvlaai was so infuriating yesterday. Gets a couple of golden opportunities and just wastes them by punting the ball into the keeper. If I were HSV, I'd invest my money elsewhere... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedrik Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 What do you guys think here. Should Bert already play Robben against Cameroon? I kinda like to keep him on the bench at least for the 1/8 finales. The best man is from suger, we cannot take any risk with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 If it's not needed (and it isn't, we're through already), I'd leave him nicely on the bench. Maybe give him a couple of minutes by the end of the game. No risks, puh-lease! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micado Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 10 ~15 minutes max, to get some kind of rythm, not more, certainly not starting with him. Leave him on the bench, also for the round of 16 match, then we have two good weapons who can come on as a sub in Elia and Robben. From there we can see.

Was a stupid penalty to give away, VdV was unlucky tbh, he was also looking good today, couple of good free kicks (except those where he took a direct shot). Nice to see KJH get a goal too.

DJ Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I'm glad meneer Bert followed our advise. Robben is still in hot form after his injury. Guess he's used to using the little time he gets to the max Good, arrogant goal by RvP. Peno was rather ridiculous, what's vdV supposed to do, take it straight in the face? Yellow for that even more ridiculously harsh. Anyway, another win. So Slovakia is next. At least we know plenty about them, because they have Stoch. And er.. er.. er.. no idea really How good are they? Or was Italy so arrogant, giving up the goals softly? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
