International Friendlies

[Sir M]

I see that FIFA #1 Brazil beat #7 England this morning.

In another very interesting match (and because England is not involved it is free to see on GolTV ) #3 Netherlands visits #4 Italy with at 1145 (or so) this morning.

Oranje, any predictions?

And of course, #7 Argentina visits #2 Spain, it just started.

Watching right now. Sadly, van Persie has been injured in the 11th minute. I had the pleasure of watching him live against West Ham at West Ham recently. Total class.

Italy is not showing much at the moment. I say 1-0 Holland. Perhaps a 1-1 draw given Holland's usual defensive problems.

Love Stecklenburg's purple keeper's kit.

 

[Sir M]

I will go out on a bit of a limb here Oranje, and say that RVP is not too seriously hurt. (Gulp).

Huntelaar is not a bad replacement though, but thus far, I keep flicking over to the France/Ireland game.

Hopefully so, although they carried him straight through to the locker room.

Portugal just started against Bosnia-Herz. Does Portugal have a chance without Chrissy the Diver?

If the commentator says "Orangey" one more time I am going to fly over and shove one down his throat.

 

[Polska]

FYR Macedonia beat canada 3-0

 

[Sir M]

The Ireland/France game is on TV5 (channel 124 on the North Shore). The commentary is in French.

Bien.

 

[oranje]

0-0 Final. Italy v. Holland.

Dodgy Italians almost got away with handballing one in.

 

[Sir M]

Good result away Oranje.

France won, and then the Irish tried to get into a punchup...

And the French refused to get involved...

 

[bergamascho]

Noble effort by the Irish who were frankly outclassed in every department save heart and gumption which counts for squat on the scoreboard.

Here's to a Wednesday night reversal to knock the French on their ass and out of the world cup!

 

[Sir M]

Don't hold your breath. Sorry...

 

[Regs]

There were bookie events for all of these games being discussed, no?

 

[Sir M]

How about these two teams for a couple of Master's teams you do not want to play?
