Title: Arjen Robben Post by: TightEnd on June 11, 2006, 04:29:38 PM wasn't he terrific today? a real threat every time he got the ball
Though the Dutch looked ok, but controllable if teams stick double marking on Robben as thats where all the threat came Argentina are the best team i have seem so far, Riquelme looks the real deal In theory England could meet Holland in the QF, that would be a good game....if we have to play Argentina then I fear the worst Really enjoying this competition a lot.

Holland look excellent going forwards. I'm not sure about defensively yet. Where is Jap Staam? Argentina do look good as well. If Messi gets fit then they will be very hard to beat. Title: Re: Arjen Robben Post by: GlasgowBandit on June 11, 2006, 04:37:34 PM I think Robben put in the performance of the tourney so far and I'm not just saying that on the back of teh fact I had him to score first and the dutch tow in 1 - 0. :D I thought he was fantastic every time he ran at players he caused trouble.
I was dissapointed with Ruud though he looked lethargic, I suppose today the heat must have caused a helluva lot of problems. The argies theyw here great, but I though Ivory Coast played well also, I reckon the games between the Dutch and the Ivorians and also the Argies and the Dutch will be top notch. Its a bit of a downslide for prime time Sunday viewing to be watching Mexico versus Iran and Portugal against Angola. I am on Borgetti 1st scorer, 2-0 3-0 3-1 2-1 and then we shall dabble with the Portugal game if this comes up. Title: Re: Arjen Robben Post by: TightEnd on June 11, 2006, 04:41:17 PM I searched high and low to find a Greece (euro 04)/Sengal (WC 02)/Czech (euro96) ...surprise teams from past tournaments e/w bet and came up with Mexico
The hour is nigh to see if I might get a run for my money. |
