The Dutch will be glad for the half-time whistle. They lead 2-1, but Cote d'Ivoire could easily be level. Good game, not for theasfl I feel though.

Perhaps a tie (draw for sdpm) would be a just result.

That must mean you don't look at my standings updates then.

Its a shame that France and Mexico were put in the top 8 and IC and Holland werent

Sdpm100 · 06-16-2006, 01:52 PM

I think the main thing the Dutch will have to do is negate the pace of the Ivory Coast players by keeping as much possession as possible.
We saw IC come back into it in the second half against Argentina, and if the Dutch can't cope with their pace (as seen by the goal, and a couple of other counter-attacks) they may struggle to hang on.

thats the most frustrating factor of the game, unlike in their first match, the Dutch arent controlling the ball...they're following the English and playing the long ball out of frustration...the counter attack isnt needed.

Whenever Mexico wins a WC game there is rioting on the streets in East Los Angeles

Better than after the Paraguay game. Probably because we've qualified, they've been saying things like "glass is half full, not half empty".
But ask me again tomorrow when they've been able to get their teeth into it properly - the papers went to bed not too long after the game finished.
