@ SpartaR

I will include Huntelaar's goal in the video..


1ST GOAL AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL!

My thoughts exactly.

Our corners were actually dangerous

First 45 minutes in Oranje for KJH :

1 disallowed goal (that should have stood)
1 assist
1 goal

W-O-W !

One slighty pessimistic point. His build up play needs to improve.

The propaganda i have been dishing out concerning KJH -- was true.

De Cler is the most important player for Holland...who'd have expected that.

And I still think Kuyt instead of RVP will bring more balance to the team....although I barely can imagine not playing RVP....

I never argued with you on his account (we're in agreement there), it's about someone else (who's not missed at all, rather the opposite) where most of us question your propaganda

Huntelaar is good, but why should RvN be dropped instead of that?

Kuyt left wing or am I dreaming?
Has MvB learned nothing?

Woohoo. Huntelaar again.
vdVaart was in the better position I guess but risky pass and nice finish from Huntelaar.

He's playing very well and an excellent finish. Is Huntelaar the first choice striker for Holland now?

My guess is yes. With vBasten you never know but he's from Ajax so problably yes.

Ooh, what a nice shot from RvP, assist Huntelaar and it looked nearly off side but who cares.

Lovely finish from van Persie, he was just onside. The front three have done well together and van der Vaart has also played well. Ireland look really poor at the moment though.

That's my point since the WC

Kuyt as left winger : Van Basten is on drugs.
That's intentionally damaging a player...

First 90 minutes in Oranje for Huntelaar :

1 disallowed goal (should have stood)
2 assists
2 goals

....not bad for a first timer


(I still thought De Cler was the best man on the pitch....and also that we're *very* lucky that Van der Sar hasn't retired yet)

@ Rai (and other Ajax fans)

Aren't you afraid Huntelaar has performed *too* well in this match....the transfer window is still open.

Ajax isn't a one man team....but without Huntelaar it would be a whole different ball game....

@ all Dutchies

does anyone know what the average age of the Holland team was at the final whistle ? It looked frightfully young...

@ Axeslammer !

I'm actually scared..stupid Huntelaar!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

What a debut, btw

2 GOALS
2 ASSISTS

Sad Sneijder was not present to witness such a debut

Would be bad for the Dutch league if he left...so I'm on your side

He wont leave...unfinished business in the Champions League (plus San Marco will make sure he stays!)

Man of the Match: van der Vaart (Ajacied 4 Life)

Klaas was great, but why wasnt he in the squad 7 weeks ago? i mean did he improved the much during the Amsterdam tourny?

Kuyt leftwing.....and why is Rvp never allowed to play on the 10?Not that VDV was bad this night, he was quite good actuelly

ive been suggesting since mid-april that man u sign Huntelaar to replace RVN on the united board and nobody took it seriously. Hopefully now theyll see hes gd enough, but i agree that itb b better for everyone if he stayed in holland for at least one more year. Any idea wat sort of money ajax would b lookin for?

@ alexslammer
having a young team finish an friendly is a good thing cos its helps them develop and i think thts wat a friendy should be for: Trying young players. Thats one thing tht annoys me about england and (to some degree)ireland. theyre both playin tried and tested players rather than newbies

@ Keano Is God

Huntelaar will move to AC Milan after Ajax...

... now being serious, i want him to stay to Euro 2008 at least (something like £20M will prize him away.)

If united have already bid £27M for Torres....

@ rai
why ac?

surely huntelaar is very similiar to rvn, even used same starting club in the top flight(heereven) and as a supporter of united aswell as ajax wouldnt u like huntelaar to move to united?

He wants Huntelaar and vBasten to be like each other. Hope he turns out to be a better coach.

Which leagues will suit KJH?

- La Liga
- Serie A
- Premiership
- Bundesliga
- French Ligue 1

I would love to see KJH at United...just a few years time (this season will be so important - he needs to stay consistent)

He has a real Manu face. Im sure he will go there, but on the other hand Fergie is a Dutch-hater

Holland destroying Ireland it seems, just watched the highlights of the match. Congrats!


Good day for us. Looks like both of our main rivals in the qualification, the Czechs and Ireland, have lost clearly today. I expect the Irish to be stronger in the qualification though, when they have all of their players at their proposal.
