mistletoeAt last, a game I am looking forward to is about to kick off. Netherlands v Denmark features some class players and Holland need to meet their potential for once. They usually play the best football but fall to defensive teams on the break. Of course the best team they had was nobbled by the Germans in the infamous spitting match although neither team came out of that one clean.
Speaking of Germans they flattened Australia yesterday. They were already 2-0 up when Tim Cahill, Australia's best option for scoring, was harshly sent off. My enjoyment of the game via Radio 5 commentary was ruined by Robbie Savage's over the top praise of the German team. Obviously they were going to be better than the Aussies you berk, so it was hard to judge what they would be like against a more skilful bunch. But Savage was all: 'these are amazing, these are the best. We better watch out for this lot.' Well naturally, because all the teams we've seen so far are further down the FIFA list than them - even us. Grrr. I don't like Savage. Must look up how Wales did against the Germans when they played last. Ah yes. I thought they were in the same qualifying group. Got beaten 2-0 Ballack and an o.g.
Anyway, more later when the game gets under way.

I don't think so either. Capello really made a hash of squad selection. Sigh.
