    I expected 4-3-3 from the start, very confused by this approach today.

    They will get it right after the break, take possession and control the game to 3-1 finish.

    Now we will see what the team is made of. Not much Janmaat could do about the hand ball.

    Why Does De Jong not get any stick?

    Both & De Guzman have been shit IMO.

    3-2, but our defense is just so, so bad. Van Gaal better figure out something, because that is going to be punished hard by a better team.

    Depay is fantastic IMO. When not over-selfish he is amazing. Today he knows when to pass and when to shoot.

    Best Dutch Player in the 2nd half

    Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Italy, France. We are all offense and zero defense, that doesn't get you very far.

    i wouldn't include brazil in that list. i think marcelo and dani alves don't match up well with the dutch attacking 3. they lack creative goal scorers and passes with the exception of neymar and oscar.

    Looking on the bright side, its better to have an off-day at the group stage as opposed to knock-out stages.

    Its even better when you win shitty games

    Whew...Really bad game from Sneijder by the way, he might have to start worrying about his spot in the first 11.
