[PaPaGeorGeo]

I want Horsey to score a hatrick

 

[Fernandez]

I want Drogba to score a hattrick.

If Ruud doesn't put on his scoring boots for this match, he may need to hang them up soon. This is probably his last World Cup...

 

[rpvankasteren]

His first too.

 

[Luis Ah-Hoy]

If Ivory Coast doesn't throw away their chances, like they did against Argentina, they can surely draw, or even defeat Holland... let's hope they do so!!!

 

[mnj2x]

Cummon Ruud...u have to perform!!

Go Orange!!

 

[messi54]

Don't know what van Persie was thinking by going public with his grouse over Robben's excellent display. Let the coach take out Robben and let van Persie take centre stage, see if Holland will win...

2-1 to the Oranje

 

[Silencer]

We will win it with 1-0 (Ruud to score)
We are still unbeaten under van Basten, won the qualifying matches against Romania (2), Finland (2x), Czech Rep (2x) so we sure as HELL not gonna lose against Ivory Coast :chew: It's like van Basten said:"same kind of matches but different venue and the only difference is that you are now playing in the WC". Johan Cruyff was at the trainingpitch yesterday and he has every confidence that we will win this one too and I always say Listen to the MASTER

Ivory Coast maybe fired up to win this to save their hides but so will we, the atmospere is fantastic among the players and each and everyone of them knows what's at stake here believe me.
And winning here makes it easier to play against Argentina on Wednesday and that's always a plus.

Line up will be the same as in the match vs Serbia Monenegro

 

[Daniel David]

After the Argies put such an impressive display, the Dutch will have to play all they can to be safe on the group; therefore I am convinced this will be a wonderful game.

Holland 3-2 Ivory Coast

Robben, RVN, Van Persie (so no one gets jealous for the others )
Drogba 2x

 

[gabs485]

Is van der vaart match fit? I was looking foward to watch him play at 06

 

[Luis Ah-Hoy]

I think this will be a 1-1 draw... but i'd really love to see Ivory Coast winning this one!

 

[$teauA]

Drogba looks ready in the tunnel.

 

[King]

1-0 Holland

 

[spell]

[Luis Ah-Hoy]

And that, gentlemen.... was a penalty for Ivory Coast!
