Australia really are not treating this like a friendly are they? Dutch players dropping like flies. edit: Wilkshire sent off. Reckless challenge by him.

 

[stazi]

fuck really. that was soooo stupid

 

[Paragon]

Argh, Wilky's off. I'd be overwhelmed with worry if I were Dutch and the scoreline remains the same.

 

[Paragon]

Bloody oath, Kuyt's on.

 

[bazookajoe]

Aloisi for Dukes....

 

[Raginsheep]

I'd be more worried bout how many injuries there are if I were the dutch

 

[matt#1]

fuck really. that was soooo stupid

very stupid indeed. Now we have to face one of the best teams in the world with only 10 men . Aloisi on for Viduka. Decent perfomance by Dukes tonight.

 

[bazookajoe]

Now Bresciano's off. Didn't really do much tonight

 

[sunjet]

defence is lacking.

 

[matt#1]

Why the hell wasn't Millicevic chosen in the world cup squad? He is captain of FC Thun...and has defended againt some of the best players in the world during their run in the champions league. I feel that we are missing him in defence.

 

[Paragon]

Haha, 8 Socceroos offside. The Dutch are funny, risky too.

 

[bazookajoe]

Woulda been hilarious if it counted.

 

[Paragon]

If only I got a dollar for every time I saw Robben being such a nancy. Yellow-card offence though.

 

[matt#1]

Are we playing a 0-9-1 formation? defence continues to go missing. Without Schwarzer we have nothing in that department.

 

[bazookajoe]

Couple of good challenges there by Neill though.

Haha, yes we're down to 10 now Matt.

I'm only guessing here, but it's quite possible Guus has decided formations and structure are overrated, and as a result has given all the outfield players a roaming role whereby they do jack-all.

Not a single bloody player has stood out today, bar Schwarzer.

 

[matt#1]

I am, however, very impressed that Holland still only has 1 goal. We might just hold on for a respectable result?

 

[bazookajoe]

No real stand outs, although I think Chipperfield has been pretty solid

 

[matt#1]

lol! the commentator suggested that Schwarzer "may have just solved the 'keeper debate with his performance tonight"

may have?!? This has been one of the best goalkeeping displays i've seen by anyone. As i'm typing he makes another superb save.

Schwarzer!!!!....Schwarzer!!!!...Schwarzer!!!! ...great save from Van Persie's difficult free kick!

 

[Paragon]

I for one don't expect Kalac to be putting up any arguments when he finds out Schwarzer is actually #1.
