Japan does look really nice. They really create stuff on the attack. Scrappy and fun to watch.

am i the only one who doesn't like arjen robben? to me he is a ball hog who scores a great goal every once in a while but takes to many lousy shots and kills too many plays with his selfishness. holland would be better off without him.

 

[Flieger]

He is great to use in the final 30 minutes of a game. Don't like him too much as a starter.

What a ******* disgrace...

He may be a bit of a ball hog but he creates so much space for the other players that nobody cares. I can not wait to watch Van Persie, Van der Vaart, Robben and Snijder on the same pitch next round. Also glad Italy got knocked out. Slovakia will be a much better opponent for the Dutch.

Its not normal for people to look at you weird for speaking Spanish here either. That's my point.

They should probably learn how to stand between now and then Brazil-Portugal is going to be such a game

And go Japan! Though I'd appreciate some more play time for Shunsuke (happy birthday)

Not sure that 8.5 % F***ers makes this threak disproportionate for SF? But good point anyway.

They keep giving those "honorary" 1 minute sub times to Inamoto when it's more likely to be Nakamura's final world cup!
