They played with 12 strikers on the pitch and couldn't score! I was waiting for Steklenberg to be replaced by another striker.

Van Persie, the defense, and no heart in general

But Van Persie will be the scapegoat No.1 IMO

But Huntelaar was no better. *shrug* So it's not like Russia where Pavs showed Kerzhakov how its done.

Those Slovenian dickweeds helped decide this game. 2 penalties for handball should have been called. I wish there was video replay allowed.

The whole team looked dead tired, makes sense since Van Persie, Huntelaar, Robben all had long seasons with the clubs.

Also doesn't help when your midfield core is De Jong and Van Bommel.

Van Der Wiel is so overrated though.

Huntelaar had one single chance, and that was like 1 minute after he came on. Cold. But van Persie? Should have scored 2 at least. World's best striker? Gimme a break.

No, it's the opposite. If he was overrated he wouldn't still play for Ajax after being linked with the whole European elite.

German and Portuguese offense will have a field day against the Dutch defense. That'll be fun.

Every time he describes a player, he looks like he's describing a hooker with his mannerism.

He's really not talented enough to play for a top 4 English side, which is what he's getting linked with. Poor going forward and seems just sufficient defensively.

Never ever linked up with the winger today at all.
