give it a chance first, its not bullshit n boring yet.
2002 was worst thing ever, mainly cos of the timings.

lol,
yeah it was only bad with the timing, not with the football. there was so many shocks and great goals..

the stadiums and facilities were brilliant too..

and regarding timing, only bad for us in england

I swear, I'd cry if Robben doesn't make it.

the best player in the world atm, he was amazing today again.

I go to bed in a couple of hours, wake up tomorrow, I better see Robben included in the squad and fit for WC...or I'll be a mad boy

Hondorus best player Palacios is injured now.. oh dear

Netherlands coach is an idiot fielding his already injured star player vs a shitty team less then a week before the WC.

He didn't start with him. Robben came in in the 2nd half and he was as good as healed from his previous injury (although with Robben that doesn't say anything as the man gets injured for the slightest little touch).

He's getting a special treatment, which in case everything goes right. will make him fit in just a week. Normally he would been out for more than a month.
However nothing is certain yet.
He got the injurie only because of the back heel pass and not because he wasn't fully fit. His Doctors have told him that.

Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk is hoping injured winger Arjen Robben can recover in time to play some part for the Oranje at the World Cup finals after tests over the weekend showed the injury was not as bad as first feared.

The 26-year-old Bayern Munich star picked up a hamstring injury in the 6-1 friendly win over Hungary, sparking fears that he would miss the entire tournament but van Marwijk has declared that he will not replace Robben in the 23-man squad, giving him the opportunity to rejoin the squad when he recovers.

"I won't replace Arjen at this time, because I want to give him the chance to come back with the group," van Marwijk is quoted as saying by Goal.com Netherlands.

Medical assessments this weekend showed that Robben has a slight tear in his left hamstring but the player has revealed that he is planning an intensive period of recovery in a bid to overcome the injury and fly to South Africa later to link up with the team.

"The last 24 hours I have had so much support from all the people around me and that has had a positive effect on me. After the injury I went to the locker room for a first diagnosis which was very difficult. But it was clear that it wasn't good because I had a lot of pain. Today I had the scan and it's just a small tear in my left hamstring. It's the first time I have had an injury on that part of my leg. The last 3 years I have had no muscular injury," the winger revealed to Studio Voetbal.

"It happened because I made too big a step. They told me that if Dirk Kuyt had made a step like that he would have the same injury. If I just let it heal than I'm back on the field in 4-6 weeks, but we don't have so much time. Dick van Toorn is going to help me. Tomorrow morning at 0730 I'll meet him and were going to work incredibly hard. I'm going to fight till I drop."

They shouldn't risk him, if he's not 100% ready. I'm not sure how this speical treatment works though.
