But in reality, the Dutch forward line isn't half as fearsome as they usually are. Also can someone name me anyone from the Dutch mid-field? Coco is the usual reliable mule on the left flank, but the right side was out of the game for long stretches at a time. <BR/><BR/>I have my hopes shattered by better Dutch teams, and I am not about to get pumped up by this slightly lesser team, and much less on a single performance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17982460.post-1150095524507751302006-06-11T22:58:00.000-08:002006-06-11T22:58:00.000-08:00A little more surfing and I see it was van Persie ...A little more surfing and I see it was <A HREF="http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,19443018%5E11088,00.html" REL="nofollow">van Persie</A> who complained.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I think they did go down the left side a but much, and, as I said above, Robben's crosses weren't all that great.

I can remember at least a couple. Moreover, Robben's crosses weren't all that great - there was a few times when he beat his man down the wing but the cross didn't get anywhere near an attacking player.

Ruud is a good scorer, but can also be a bit of a ball hog.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00424944743855552143noreply@blogger.com
