England vs The Netherlands & other International Friendlies ** spoilers ** [29th Feb 2012]

Great run and finish from Robben.

Someone really should have stopped him earlier though, and the two defenders went the same way which gave him the room to shoot.

Still, I thought we would be behind much sooner than 56 minutes!
 
I didn't say he was playing bad today, it was a general criticism of his game that I have.

You do know La liga and the premier league are FAR above international quality football? Likewise Parker has played for England for basically a year and been alongside Young and before Wilshire's injury, England's best three performers with ease.

What could possibly make a player good enough for the premier league, where Parker has put in great performances against any team in the league at some stage, but not good enough at international level?

Holland were great in the world cup against awful teams, were rather rubbish against Brazil, who themselves were pretty rubbish and Melo decided to take Brazil out of the competition and then Holland were utterly outplayed in the final and resorted to assault football.

International football hasn't for donkeys years, and from now on will NEVER beat out club level football. A team that plays 70 games, practices 5 times a week won't be outdone by a team that plays 10 games a year and practices 2-3 times in only 2-3 weeks in the season.
 
Go to make my lunch for tomorrow and Holland score 2... haha :D

Why did no one close Robben down at all?!
