Netherlands vs. Czech Republic [P]+[R]

[chatterbox]

Robben was pure magic. I wad dissapointed that he got taken off. What was the point in even selecting players like Makaay and Kluivert if they were not goina be given a crack. Van Hooijdonk would have been enough. They should have selected more defenders.....you know.....guys who could hold a 2 - 0 lead after 20 minutes !

Well in contrary to last night I've just seen a few interviews with players from our team and they look forward to the Latvia game and want to win it. Still we have to wait on what the Czechs will do vs Germany but Galasek of the Czechs and Ajax told the Dutch media that they will play to win cause Bruckner wants 100% achievement of the team and win ALL the games, let's hope they do but like I said we'll see

Did you see Van der Vaart and Van Hooijdonk laughing at the Germany game before their match? I knew destiny would punish them.

Here's an interesting fact.

In the EURO 2004 qualification match between Holland vs. Czech Republic, Advocaat substituted another left winger (Overmars) for... Bosvelt

What the f*ck...

 

[chatterbox]

Well I gues you should never say never....I would never have thought that Russia would beat Greece and that too 2-1 !

There is hope...just a bit !

Dutch fans buy plane ticket for Advocaat

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) -- Dutch fans at Euro 2004 have clubbed together to buy a plane ticket out of Portugal for coach Dick Advocaat following the 3-2 defeat by the Czech Republic.

Advocaat was blamed for making a substitution in the second half which allowed the Czechs to come back from 2-1 down.

"We collected the money in just three minutes," said Johan de Laat who organised the initiative on a camp site in Portugal, news agency ANP reported.

Advocaat's ticket was booked for Tuesday's Virgin Express flight from Faro to Brussels, a flight that cost 163.14 euros ($197), according to the airline's website.

The Dutch play their last Group D game on Wednesday, needing to win to have any chance of reaching the quarter-finals.

"We will give him the ticket through room service at his hotel. All he needs is his passport," De Laat said.

"He doesn't have to come back to the Netherlands."

They paid 21$ to PSV so i don't think the bought him just for fun

 

[Voltaic Borusse]

21 million euros is chump change to Chelsea. They can throw that kind of money around easily.

I've got to agree with Grunger. The Chelsea scouters or whoever wouldn't of approached PSV for him if it weren't for United admitting interest for him first.

Robben its a great player, but 21 million???

 

[dannyeli]

It as Chelsea, don't you think PSV hasn't going to put a high price on him ?

Chelsea like inter buys anything that have legs
