Unlike David James he actually looked like he might save a penalty !
James just didnt seem to have the same prescence in goal that for example a Seaman or a Van Der Sar has !

England need to find a goalie with that kind of presence again !

Being selfish I wish Holland had gone out tonight so that VDS (assuming he is still there next season) is fit & ready to start the season !

 

Holland looked like they knew how to take a penalty as well - so should we replace the whole team?

I loved the end result of course, but wasn't happy with vd Sar flapping his arms up and down as the penalty-taker took his run up.

Man of the match :vdS with Arjen Robben as runner up for his ability to confound and defeat two close Swedish defenders whilst coming up the left wing.

I cannot believe another Villa player missed (Melberg).
We are cursed

I just hope The Denmark game doesn't got to penalties & Martin Laursen steps up...

 

Robben has been one of the best dutch players along with Ruud and Stam. He played well against the czechs with a lovely double dummy and beatiful cross. Great penalty last night as well.

Don't fret... Chris Kirkland is in Sven's plans for qualifying for World Cup 2004

 

The poor lads are gonna be tired this year

 

Better not be, he's had long enough off
