World Cup Qualifiers | October 2017 | Play off draw on Tuesday

What´s with the Swiss and the handballs
 
First genuinely good cross from Portugal creates a goal. The rest have been garbage.
 
Janssen has to do better there. Robben really is surrounded by shite.
 
Pleased that Portugal has scored. There's something about the Swiss football teams that just rubs me the wrong way. I want to see them chasing the game, not defending it.
 
Ok first half, draw would have been fair too.

Very important goal as now we're more in our element and we don't need to chase the game. Hopefully we get a second otherwise we'll 100% feck it up at the end of the game
 
There was nothing wrong with that ball into the box from Blind. Janssen just has the movement of a dead walrus.
 
Sorry for whoever faces us Greece in the playoffs :P We drew against belgium there while playing with 10 men, and we lost against them here but we shouldn't have since we dominated the game and you know Lukaku... I'm hopeful we will go through no matter who we face in the playoffs since i trust in our defence, Sokratis-Manolas are probably the best CB duo in all of national teams, i know im biased but i believe that :P
Don't get me wrong or cocky but i would love to draw you guys. Against Modric rakitic badelj perisic greece midfielders wouldn't touch the ball. Having good defence is excellent thing but .....
 
Holland used to be so good, but now they're a largely irrevalent. Other than an aging Robben, there isn't really a star in that team. Strange how generations differ. They once had players like Van Persie, Makele, Davids, Seedorf etc, etc, and now when Robben stops, which he probably will after this game, their best players will be what? Blind and Van Dijk?

Yep, bar that chance we didn't look like we could score. Thankfully Djourou still plays international football :D
 
He might be pulling the biggest con in football today.

In the most average Netherlands side in years he looks even more average. He is like the flag bearer for their shit form.

Btw saying average is giving lot of credit to the player. Shame RVP and Huntelaar played at the dagger same time.
 
The only player Holland have is Robben, they will be screwed without him.

Attackwise? Yes.

However in the defense van Dijk - de Vrij isnt a bad central defense. Wijnaldum and Blind arent bad players and neither is Strootman (although Wijnaldum is always bad for the Dutch team and so has Strootman been recently).

Janssen, Babel, Dost, Memphis and Berghuis are all painfully average (or even below average)

It must be painful for Robben, one of the best attacking players of his generations. Won it all with his clubs which include Chelsea, Madrid and Bayern and now has to play with these players instead of world class players...
 
Holland/ sweden situation is a lesson to all teams in future. When you play with weak teams , trash them. Don't stop after 2-0, 3-0.

Wasn't Makelele french? You're spot on with the rest of your post though, their decline has been nothing short of baffling.
 
God I hope Switzerland loses this one and also their playoff. One of these pointless teams that show up at every WC and Euro but never take any notice of.
 
Why is Cedric playing instead of Semedo? He’s been dreadful.

Who?
 
Holland missed WC 2002 with Davids, Seedorf, De Boer, Overmars, Zenden, Kluivert, Makaay, Van bommel etc.
 
If only we showed this hunger in the rest of this campaign. It's too little too late. Gutted for Robben he wants it so much it's painful to watch.
 
Why is Cedric playing instead of Semedo? He’s been dreadful.

Because he has earned Santos trust and has been pretty reliable, specially in the Euro 2016 final. He's been unfortunate tonight but i still prefer him to Semedo. Btw Semedo wasn't specially good against Andorra, so Santos took the obvious decision.
 
Technical support by phone in a small company who produces heat and water meters.
And you need to be 100% fit for that? But most importantly, you missed the south park reference! I am sooo disappointed in you right now man
