only question: how's Robben's situation...

the critics from axe has made gio angry he plays a much better second half...

Agreed

Even Midget listened : he went into the box and immediately scored a good goal

....even with an injured Robben this Holland team has an embarrassing richness of attacking options

s africa - denmark 1-0

@ Ricky

I'm still not convinced, but Elia is trying to prove your point : he looked very good every single time he had the ball

If Robben has pulled his hamstring then surely he's out of the World Cup?

Would be really disappointing to lose another star to injury.

Looks like it. If its the hamstring (which it 99% is) the most optimistic return is within 3 weeks.

Why why why?!! Final 5 minutes of the last warmup game, which we are leading 6-1.

if it is just weeks three weeks he can make the second round. so that's no question...

what if its 4 weeks?

4 weeks minus 1 or 2 days is the quarter final? would you take that risk so he can play against most liekly brasil....?

That sucks! Robben is such a good player. We all want to see "La Naranja Mecánica" with its best players.

everyone was down after the game while it was a 6-1 show . robben showed today he can a team much stronger. kuyt played well but with robben the team was 30% stronger than before

To be honest with Robben's history playing him in friendlies was a big risk. Shame if he's out though it limits Holland to just 3 good players.

Hopefully it's only a small tear in the hamstring for Robben. He could miss all the group games but could be back for the knockout rounds with a bit of a luck.

Real shame if he were to miss the WC.

the KNVB (Dutch FA) wait untill tomorrow about the outcome of the investigation in the Erasmus hospital in Rotterdam of Robbens Hamstring.

KNVB geeft maandag duidelijkheid over Robben
06/06/2010 18:05

Aan de onzekerheid over de WK-deelname van Arjen Robben komt nog geen einde. De KNVB geeft maandag duidelijkheid over de gevolgen van de hamstringblessure.

Na het geven van een hakje greep Robben zaterdag naar zijn linkerhamstring. Het goede gevoel over de uitkomst van het oefenduel met Hongarije (6-1) maakte direct plaats voor grote zorgen om de aanvaller. Terwijl Oranje naar Zuid-Afrika reisde, bleef Robben in Nederland achter voor onderzoek.

De uitkomst van het onderzoek in het Erasmus Ziekenhuis in Rotterdam blijft vooralsnog onbekend. De KNVB komt maandag met een verklaring over de situatie rond Robben en diens mogelijke beschikbaarheid tijdens het WK.

De eerste indrukken wezen op een somber scenario. 'Ik had liever verloren en Arjen heel gehouden', zei bondscoach Bert van Marwijk. 'Hij voelde een scherpe steek. Dat belooft niet veel goeds. Maar ik geef de hoop niet op.'

His near-assist which Sneijder missed prior to this goal was even better.

He makes it look easy, no wonder our attack collapsed last season after his injury.

This guy would have been competing with Drogba and Ronney for POTY had it not been for those fecking injuries

Yeah that was a shock. Who would have thought Van Persie would miss a big chunk of the season through injury

Yessssss

ARJEN ROBBEN goes to the world cup. the hamstring isn't as as bad as it showed. At the moment Van Marwijk doesn't want to call up another player



we only need robben in the second round and/or quarters. THe group stages we have enough with the talent we have right now up front

RVP has the potential to become the best in the world, nobody will argue with that. But fact is he is going in his 7th season for Arsenal already and has not been fit for one entire season. Besides he is not really winning a lot for Arsenal. Not really his fault mind, but if you won more trophy's at Feyenoord then with Arsenal in 6 years..you are doing something wrong.

RvP should join United, and partner with Rooney,, I can see that duo become the best in the world
