Imagine after a year of searching for a goal keeper, we end up with Cillessen.

I have no words...
3:0 
3-0 to Turkey! Netherlands are so poor...
for what?
3-0 Turkey.
That was a foul by Caner though.
blatant foul, but still...
the ref in the dutch game is an idiot
Omg. Holland.
how is the atmosphere in Istanbul?
@dustfingers as expected.
yeah. you must be pleased.
Memphis limping, all subs used.
Krul never played for the big 3 in Holland and he is primarily a stop topper with poor distribution. Cillessen has been immense in the league for 2 seasons, has CL experience and the best statistics since Van de Sar.
The time wasting by the Turks has been hilarious
Holland will still claim the third spot IMO. Turkey has to face Czech Republic away from home and then host Iceland in the last game. They've been pretty shit before tonights game, struggling to beat the likes of Latvia at home.
Hopefully Robben returns in time for the last two games next month.

Look at the players they have at their disposal, They essentially have Robben and an ageing Sneijder and van persie, they just dont have the big talents coming through at the moment other than Robben junior (memphis).
Van Gaal did a greater than the sum of their parts type performance to get them to 3rd last year, not something they will be able to repeat.
Gareth Bale has been so greedy tonight. Trying to be the hero every single time he gets the ball.
The only reason I can't warm to them, they do it worse than anyone else lolThe time wasting by the Turks has been hilarious
Why have the Netherlands suddenly gotten so shite?
I'm not watching that game, but fro the team sheet there doesn't seem to be much magic in that side except for him... I guess he's gotten used to it
Holland will not qualify. Got to give credit to Van Gaal for getting them 3rd in the World Cup and not even losing at all in 90 minutes.
Complete polar opposite team.

Yeah, they've been good, especially Skjelbred, but they looked spent. Still, Høgmo didn't change anything and still we got this. Hovland, Forren, Berget, take a bow. Nah, the whole team. That was great. We'll still finish third though.
Savage now shouting for Wales to ''just get the ball in the box''
Hartson starting every sentence with 'we' and is calling the officials 'incompetent'
(can't blame 'em really)

If Czech Republic win have they qualified?
No way
Ah well, come on Cyprus.

I think having Robben missing a fair bit has been a blow for them. He carried them through the World Cup pretty much aswell. Plus they seem reluctant to ever play 2 strikers at one time for some reason.
Why are Wales so desperate here?
They are basically there anyways. Israel needed to win today more than Wales to fight for the top 2

Wait, there is another load of this shit in a month?
Goallll.Oh no ruled out.
De Jong Oo
Israel parked the bus and got what they came for. Hate teams like that.
True, they'll be fine anyway. Still, can't blame them for wanting that 100% assurance. As much as they'll go through, a loss in their next game could leave them 2 points ahead with one game to go. Then, it could get quite tense. But they should be fine since it'll take a massive collapse for that to happen.
They really needed a win in this game though if they're aiming to get top two. Draw doesn't really do all that much for them.
A draw. Israel and Wales defended soundly.
I swear the Ramsey that plays for Arsenal and the one that plays for Wales are two different people.
There's an international break in October for the last two qualifying games and one in November for friendlies.
