Unbelievable

Good cross from the right wing from Drenthe this time, and he's also putting in some decent corners..

Good match this! Nice wizardry by Drenthe in the centre of midfield there

2-1.. Good goal from a free kick..

2-0.. Good play by Babel and Drenthe!

Drenthe plays mostly as a left back for Feyenoord, but prefers to play more offensively.. He's only 20 years old. As I said, he could be an option for us as a left back, seeing as we really need two. He loves life at Feyenoord however, so I can't see him changing clubs to be a backup player at this stage..

He doesn't seem to like the physical game.. Bodes well for him in the Premiership..

Waterman out, but not replaced by Tim Krul..

Krul not playing for Holland. Pity.. Seeing Drenthe play I wonder if he might be an option for Newcastle as left back. Has had a very decent first full season at Feyenoord, full of energy and a typical left wing back for a 3-5-2. He reminds me of Bernard (the first time he was with us).. Edit: penalty for Holland scored: 1-0 vs Portugal. Goalscorer: Ryan Babel.

Most of the bookings so far have been very soft. Difficult to play naturally with such a petty ref..

Belgium vs Israel is currently on. Belgium playing well so far. Their striker Mirallas showing glimpses of promise again.

Unbelievable!

You must have seen a different match to me! Got the tactics right? High tempo? I nearly fell asleep, that's how boring it was, and the Czechs got the best chances overall..

French?

That little article is from yesterday. Surely if PSG announced the transfer somebody in the UK press would have picked it up? Oh, and I believe RMC is a sports radio program in France?

The defence looked shaky all match long I thought.. Edit: Italy lose 1:0 to Serbia..

... you should have a bigger sig and post even more often tbh. Edit: , Dave? Oh sod off!! Cheers Dave! It wasn´t bigger than some I´ve seen tbh.. Maybe yous should treat yourself to a decent sized monitor..

Oh my God... Missed!

penalty for England

Never a foul. Could have been a good break..

Don´t get me started on English players being overpriced or we´ll be here tomorrow. I do agree with your comment about good goalkeeping, it was an excellent save.

What is gullit saying? His co pundit (Jan Mulder, a former Dutch international) was commenting on the lack of technical ability with most English players, stating that they should be learned that they can actually move certain parts of their bodies, such as ankles and knees to control a ball rather than having it jump up against their body and reacting to how the ball bounces off it.. Gullit was nodding in agreement and mentioned that he also finds that the actual England team (as opposed to under 21s) is low on technical ability. To be fair, it was mainly Jan Mulder, who is normally perceived as a fan of English style football, who was doing the complaining.. Good free kick that btw..

Some really bad England bashing going on on Dutch telly by Gullit amongst others.. No surprise there..

And another big chance..

Is it only a sending off if you break somebody´s limp nowadays..?

Surprised nobody commented on that Ashley Young foul that effectively took out the Czech striker. Could have been a sending off..
