World Cup Thread - Wednesday 18th June

The Dutch cannot defend, thay are going to be in real trouble against anyone with quick, direct attackers
 
Irony is that van gaal is in the dugout. This reminds me off the rags the season before last. Get outplayed for 90% of the game, opponents miss chance after chance then score.
 
Think we've seen today that the 2nd half of the Spain game was a freak performance from the Dutch, they've been shocking today, particularly at the back, so reliant on Robben and Van Persie. The Chile v Holland game will be interesting when they don't have Van Persie.

It was not fluke. It's just what happens when you leave lots of space at the back and allow a fast player to run in behind you. Australia worked really hard today and gave everything they had. Holland's problem is the midfield, but they have literally had their first choice midfield Van Ginkel, Strootman and VDV wiped out by injury.

Never said they fluked it, I said it was a freak performance, as in everything went right on the day, they've looked average today in comparison.

Reliant on two Robins, then?

That's worse than Del Boy!
