clarence seedorf at it again in the 12th min. he's fouling every 2 min!
zhuipei is betting on 3 goals. wei en is buying czech win 2-1. haha zhuipei has higher chance of winning i muz sae. cos holland might win 3-0. abit of my own commentary as the match proceeds into the 14th min
a wonderful pass frm edgar davids to van nistelrooy, who passes the ball to clarence seedorf! seedorf puts it wide! looks quite near frm the side view, but frm central view... missed like shit lah! dat is in the 15th min
a corner kick by pavel nedved in the 16th min is not recieved by any of his fellow teammates b ut swerves out for a goal kick.
SURELY a penalty should be given for that! arjen robben cuts into the box and crosses to van nistelrooy, but he is pushed down!
but nvm, cos he scores the next min! van nistelrooy driving it into the top right hand corner, connecting the pass frm arjen robben in the 19th min. but it seems dat van nistelrooy was caught offside... hmm. nvm. GREAT GOAL! dat makes two assists frm robben.
the score currently stands at HOLLAND 2 - 0 CZECH REPUBLIC
seems like one-sided match...
wait! czech scores with a fantastic assist by milan baros, who crumbles the holland defence and passes the ball to jan koller who scores in the 23rd min! its a good goal i must admit.
the score is now HOLLAND 2 - 1 CZECH REPUBLIC
the score now at 2-1... it cld be anybody's game. (players of fifa 2003, sounds familiar?)
nedved is brought down by heitinga in the 25th min, who is given the yellow card. very contraversial i muz sae as it was nedved cheonging heitinga, not the other way round.
i shall go to the toilet for a while. hope nuttin big happens
im back at the 27th min in my seat and the game is pretty much concentrated in the midfield.
edgar davids, the bulldog, pushes down his opponent. dats not very nice...
holland gains a throw-in. and yet another. it seems to be going nowhere.
van nistelrooy is openly hugged by his defender, ujfalusi, n pulled down in the penalty box, yet no penalty kick is given! poor refereeing by the referee (duh) dat happened in the 29th min.
jan koller puts a header wide wif a cross frm the right flank. my he IS tall. seems to be taken on by jaap stam all the time. good defending.
van nistelrooy warned for pushing down his marker. ujfalusi dat is.
heitinga blasts it just wide!!!!!!!! skimmed the bar!! wonderful work by cech to keep it out. onli managed to tip it out! that was the 32nd min. the corner kick is wasted..
my! clarence seedorf powers it in frm like 20 yards n it juz shaves the post! nearly converted that seemingly impossible chance! 34th min
and van der meyde is the next to make himself known. he pried open the defence single-handedly and drives it in, but the keeper cech plucks it out of midair. 35th min
two dutch strikers (can't see who) tries to remove the ball frm cech's grip but is denied by the referee. 36th min
jan koller's shot missed just wide in the 37th min.
holland gets a corner kick after heitinga's cross in is cleared out by the defender in the 39th min.
what a pity! robben's cross into the box is connected by edgar davids who kicks a low grounder. the ball hits the post n is deflected outwards. what a chance. the czechs are having way too many shocks!
the czechs in possession of the ball now, but is grabbed by the dutch.
van der meyde passes it to seedorf, who seemingly had a plan. but he juz kicked out for a czech throw in.
nuttin interesting happens as the first half comes to a close. the score is standing at HOLLAND 2 - 1 CZECH REPUBLIC. time for me to take a break
___________________________________________________________________________________________
the match goes underway as holland takes the second half kickoff.
this is a pro-holland blog, and hence i shall not comment on any changes in the czech squad. dunno em well. but in the orange side, apparently there are no changes to the team. hmmm... is dat a correct decision? dat remains to be seen.
arjen robben caught offside 16 seconds into the 2nd half.
a van der meyde cross is collected by cech, but nearly a goal dat was. on the other side van der sar is threatened too but he firmly grabs the ball. exciting 2nd halfopening as we proceed into the 47th min.
juz noticed dat davids is onli until koller's shoulders. koller is the tallest player in this tournament i think...
milan baros wasted his cross as he misses his target completely in the 49th min.
nedved brings down davids in the centre circle. wat roughness.
heitinga brings down a czech midfielder and czech is awarded a free kick in the 51st min.
the czechs are truly displaying resilience as they struggle to keep possession in midfield.
vladimir smicer zam-ed the ball damn hard but it onli had vertical displacement due to the over exertion of a y-vector, resulting in a trajectory... PHYSICS SUX. 52nd min
davids brought down by czech's no.4, namingly tomas galasek, who is shown the yellow card. 54th min
tight match this is. the ball goin back n forth in the field. but this half has so far been dominated by the czechs, wif holland onli breaking away once in a while.
juz when i said dat the czechs are dominating, van nistelrooy nearly heads another home!! robben's cross into the penalty box is recieved by van nistelrooy who heads it to the ground, attempting to bounce it past the keeper. but the keeper manages to deflect the ball with his leg. lucky guy there as he survives the 56th min.
arjen robben looks dejected as he is substituted off for paul bosvelt. even angry i might sae. i can understand. he has been a great player in the past 57 min. he smacks bosvelt's hands rather hard as he passes his position on. hmm... dick advocaat has betta not regret it...
good defending displayed as baros is denied even a complete cross into the box by bouma. 60th min
substitution as marek heinz takes over tomas galasek in the czech team. 61st min
jaap stam clears the ball frm baros. stam zam-ed the ball damn hard can? tsktsk leg powerrrr. 62nd min
van der sar is the player of the 63rd min as he deflects a poweful shot from smicer. nearly a goal there, but van der sar juz had to lend a hand!
van nistelrooy is taken down by tomas rosicky and seems to be in pain. but from experience, rvn shld be acting onli. 64th min. hmmm... he strolls off the pitch for the doctors to take a look at him.
czech is dominating once again as the ball remains onli in the czech half of attack. rosicky is bringing spices to the czech attack as he whizzes over n between the dutch defenders.
but the dutch haf a breakthrough in the 65th min! van der meyde runs down the field... but OUCH! he crashes into two czech defenders and goes off the pitch for doctors.
van der sar makes a save from a header converted from a throw in.
clarence seedorf nearly twists off the hand of rosicky as he fights for the ball in the 69th min.
ujfalusi is indeed making scoring difficult for van nistelrooy. he completely seals him off.
oh my god! baros scores for czech converted frm a cross frm nedved to a chest-down frm koller. baros grives it home as the score now stands HOLLAND 2 - 2 CZECH REPUBLIC in the 70th min.
utterly sian diao. czech hsa come back frm 2 goals trailing!
now van der meyde nearly converts but cech juz managed to stopper the shot. 72nd min
seedorf displays impressie personal skills as he juggles the ball in the czech defence over the heads of two defenders. rather unfortunate that van nistelrooy could not recieve the amazing pass due to ujfalusi. irritating cock he is. 73rd min. chance by chance is wasted. will holland still emerge victorious?
david rozehnal takes over jan koller in the 74th min. heh heh in the absence of their star striker can czech still win?
immediately johnny heitinga is shown the yellow card as he brings nedved down. davids is arguing wif nedved over the card. both seem rather uptight. seedorf joins in the verbal war. dun get yellow cards hor...
nedved is awarded a free kick. oh my god! van der sar manages to keep the free kick out and a subsequent follow up from czech player. wonderful keeping in the 75th min.
a jumble up in the defence of the czechs as holland completely dishevells them.
12 more minutes for either side to obtain a breakthrough. if czech wins it will be the first team to be sure of entry into the quarterfinals.
michael reiziger takes the place of andy van der meyde in the 78th min. tactical changes... seems dat advocaat is goin for stronger defence.
nedved tried to blast home a long range shot, but is cut short by the dutch defence in the 80th min.
the dutch get into positions as they prepare to launch an attack on the czechs. a cross goes all the way into the left flank an van bronckhorst manages secure a throw in.
the dutch dominating in the 81st min within the very penalty box of the czechs. dangerous region i sae. but the czechs clear it out. 82nd min
davids gets a corner kick for the dutch as his cross is deflected out by a czech defender in the 82nd min.
seedorf with the coener kick, but it turns into nothing. the dutch regain possession. and a candy floss shot from van nistelrooy did no help in changing the situation. it still remains deadlocked at HOLLAND 2 - 2 CZECH REPUBLIC. onli 6 min to go now...
van der sar plucked the ball from mid-air, which was a cross from poborsky to baros.
OH MY! nedved's powerdrive from 25 yards strikes the bar! wat luck as holland gets away with the closest shave in the tournament.
rafael van der vaart replaces clarence seedorf in the 85th min.
seems that this match is headed for a draw. wat a disppointment as this is indeed an exciting match.
in the dying minutes of the game, czech scores and makes the score HOLLAND 2 - 3 CZECH REPUBLIC. nedved drives in another shot, which van der sar pulls off a fantastic save. but the deflection bounces to poborsky who fakes a shot but passes instead to smicer. smicer puts it home in the 87th min. is this a win for sure?
van der vaart wastes a chance as he slides and falls right in front of the goal. 89th min
van bronckhorst takes the throw in hurriedly. but the czechs still haf possession of the ball. they are passing it around! cowardly tactics. 3 min of injury time and onli one half min left.
the ball is in the dutch attack. but van der vaart is obstructed by nedved and loses the chance. the dutch get another throw in. the ball unfortunately is now in the hands of the czechs.
vladimir smicer misses narrowly as the dutch defence refuses to do anything about it.
BI BEEEE!!!!!!!! the referee whistles the end of the match as the czechs come back amazingly from 2-0 down to a 3-2 victory. this is indeed a sad day for the dutch. a sad day for me too... but its been a pleasure commentating for u. we'll cya nxt time. by the way, the current standings in group D are czech 1st with 6 pts, germany 2nd with 2 pts, netherlands 3rd with 1 pt and 3 goals and latvia last with 1 pt and 1 goal. they better improve themselves, the dutch. or they would be a disappointment this tournament. the dutch have been viewed as an star-studded team which can never perform AS a team. seems to be true... their formations, tactics and players juz dun seem to work out into a victory. holland has onli one more match to overtake germany. if they win and germany loses or draws with czech republic, they haf a chance of advancing into the quarterfinals. against latvia leh... betta win loh.
van nistelrooy nearly did an international sign, but forced it into a clapping action. advocaat. go EAT SHIT. switched to defence at the wrong moment... hai. im such a couch manager. robben is interviewed and he is super sian diao. or rather seems super sian diao cos he is speakin dutch n i dun understand. but its substantiated: his emotions are. his two assists were for nothing.
this is ur frenly neighbourhood superhero, superlide, signing off.
