And deservedly lost for the Netherlands. They kept making the same
mistakes over and over again:

1. Too static off the ball.

2. Awful passing in possession. This game, too many hopeless unaimed long
balls forward; including awfully unlikely shots (I'm looking at you,
Wesley!).

3. Dropping too deep in defence, letting the Spanish pass freely.

4. Ugly fouling.

We've come farther than ever in past years. Hopefully Bert stays on and
gets to work with some young talent, because this group is frankly over
the hill.

Pff. No clue. Really don't.

A lot depends on who stays on, who retires, and who's going to be
available.

I may have to try and start watching club football again this
season. Hopefully it won't be a borefest again.

On the gripping hand, on the face of it, we *should* be able to qualify.

Not enough quality in attack. Van Persie was awful. Robben predictable.
Where's the next GREAT Dutch forward?

Good luck on that one. Club football is garbage, dominated by clubs who
pay for players with credit cards. International football is purer,
money isn't a factor but players still bend the rules. This sport is in
a TERRIBLE state.
