'Robin Van Persie' AoM.

Netherlands did not win deservedly despite one great freekick and a nicely finished goal by Van the Man.
Cote d'Ivoire deserved a draw. Hell I predicted it would be 2-2 and it would have almost been that.

It's really, really too bad Cote d'Ivoire cannot go through. Nice team. Hope they get more luck next time and don't land in another killergroup.

I'm glad however, but still feel a little bad about how they won. I wish they could have played more dominately. At least they have a chance now to grow in the tournament and really am hoping the defense gets their act together, far too many mistakes. Bad covering, passive defense which gives their opponents to much room. Second half they improved though, but it still needs to be better if they want to win the World Cup.

Van Persie is really showing his worth, what a guy!

Also no more friggin' Heitinga, Boulahrouz all the way!
