My two impressions from the match were that Cherundulo looked fantastic. I couldn't get over it.

& I agree with the above point on Clark, though, at his position (being a defensive-minded player), obscurity isn't really a bad thing (think Claude Makelele). I was very disappointed Torres didn't see the field-- he was the best player last week for the team. Bradley seems happy to stay deeper-- as does Clark-- I wouldn't mind dropping either of them to make way for Torres.

I'm really bummed for Robben. He's got a cruel history with injuries.

same with RvP, if he goes, Hollands dreams of world cup glory are as good as over. They'll survive without Robben, they'll miss his goal scoring ability, but VdV will step in and provide the creativity, him and sneijder should combine well in the midfield.

So you're saying RvP missing they have no shot...but missing Robben they can survive? :ugh:

They basically have the SAME numbers with their National Team....and Robben is more creative.

RvP is on a nasty tear right now, he has scored in each of the last 5 friendlies and he is the only striker that they have that finishes his chances, midfield wise, Robben is a good scorer, but have you seen Sneijder this season at inter? guy scored some wonder goals and is EXTREMELY creative, VdV is the bench replacement for Robben and is very lively on the ball, I dont think he'll be missed as much as a lone striker which RvP occupies.

Dude get off his ****! He is good but he isnt the team!

oh yes, yes he is.

Id like to know how many of his goals have been assisted by Robben. Seriously....Van Persie is good but you honestly make him out to be a god.

I love how you resort to calling me a hater when I am being UNBIASED.

back on topic you. So how about France-China game, wtf?

France is garbage. No shocker. Their coach is a moron. I could put together a squad 10x stronger.

more importantly, wtf is going on with Henry? did his finishing leave when he left Arsenal? And why the F didnt Nasri make the roster? that kid is quality and would have made a nice bench backup for Gourcuff.

No he hasnt seen playing time like he did with them. He was a 1st choice striker on their team. Barca is much more spread out. Hint hint, RVP on Arsenal should I say?

France has many questions than there are no answers to. Trezeuget is a great fwd, yet Dometech leaves him out because he puts personal issues before the necessity of the COUNTRY and TEAM.
