Match 9: Netherlands v. Denmark ::GAME THREAD [R]

vdv

 

Cheers.

... Now... RVP off / Afellay on

 

Someone really should've been at the far post there for the Orange. That would've sealed this one.

 

As I see it Denmark has played the perfect match so far bar the own goal =). but the danish players are looking somewhat tired now.

 

what a poor game from the dutch. i really expected more.

 

C'mon Healy, clear that throat, sir.

 

Wow Wes almost scores from a heavily deflected shot off a Danish player... It's been that kinda game really.

 

He's smiling at the sheer absurdity of it all. That's a one-in-a-million shot, which you couldn't recreate even if both guys practiced it -- just bad luck.

Like watching both of your golf partners carom their tee shots off your ball and into the cup, for back-to-back holes-in-one, which oh-by-the-way knocks your ball off the green, down the slope, and into the water. Those whom the gods would destroy, they first mock.

 

Sneider (sp) almost sent me into a temporary bout of workplace productivity.

 

The ball movement that lead to that goal was sexy.

 

Finally. That's what you get when you give up trying to attack on the right and bring Elia back into the game.

 

denmark was content to lose 1-0. good riddance. i hate teams that are content to lose just b/c of goal differenace. show some heart!

 

Kuyt wins the lottery, well hopefully the next game is more exciting goooo Cameroon!!

 

But Kuyt finishes the job...

 

Great hustle by Kuyt. Bad defending to let him get on to that.

 

85' 2-0 #10 Wesley Sneijder throws the post pattern from 35m slightly left, #17 Eljero Elia bursts through the box top, controls at 15m, to 11m left post, pulls Sorensen out -- opens right instep and micro-chips Sorensen to the far post. Off the post and rebounds 1.5m out -- #7 Dirk Kuyt arrives first and dunks it.

 

Typical Kuyt. Great build up. 2-0, now a 'deserved' win.

 

guess simon poulsen made up for the own goal there! Really scared the dutch will score again, looks like all energy is drained from the danes now

 

kuyt is unbelievable , 85min and after all that running he still had it in him to run after that ball although there was a slight chance it would bounce off the post

amazing fighting spirit from the 30 year old

 

they're up 2 - 0 ..but what a boring game.. expected much more

 

That was a ridiculous defensive play by Kjaer. Kjaer stopped while Kuyt kept playing and got the goal. Denmark will be really unhappy with both goals conceded. It would still be 0-0 if they made 2 basic clearances.

 

poulsen clearnce reminded me captain tsubasa in the good ol days hehe

everytime i shoot and it finally get pass the gk the defender clears it up at the goal line , was so freakin annoying lol
