Subject: [NT]Nederland - Crna Gora

This Saturday we have a pretty easy game, against Crna Gora.
Crna Gora was my 2nd national team I coached, after Misr :) Both NTs were pretty weak back then, but now they grew a bit and upped to the "average" national team side :P

I'll try to rest some players, as next week we have an important game against Uruguay.
Current table standing is as following:

1. Nederland 3 3 0 0 16-2 9
2. Uruguay 3 2 1 0 10-1 7
3. Ecuador 3 1 1 1 9-5 4
4. Danmark 3 1 0 2 2-6 3
5. Andorra 3 0 1 2 2-12 1
6. Crna Gora 3 0 1 2 1-14 1

I hope we'll end this group with 10 victories :)

Saturday, starting 12 sk-time.

dikke vette winst

translation

thick fat victory

A victory as big as the boobies above ;)

You mean as fat as the padded bra?

Wel grappig dat er zoveel mensen zijn die niet goed lezen wat de stelling precies is ;)

Over welke stelling heb je het precies? De domme en vette overwinning? :P

Meestal wordt de vraag ook anders (positief) gesteld.

Who do you think will LOSE this game? ;)

Ah, zo. Dat had ik inderdaad nog niet gezien.

I think draw will lose this game.

yea, I think so too. Alongside with Crna gora.

Lol ;)

hehe :))

troll question :))

pretty weak tactic, should have used a winger :(

A winger would have helped, but a 5-2-3 can be very effective. However, the golden rule with a 3 striker system is: find the right height. By positioning them on different heights you defuse a lot of the power that comes with a x-x-3. That's why a winger is so good: it works when you don't know the exact height of the opposing defense. Furthermore, you need more players to pass to. Attacking backs would have helped you a lot.

yeah... I tried to test different things, 2 def setups, Bennebroek as semi-winger/striker (his goal was nice, btw :P), it didn't work as I would have liked.
We didn't have injuries and we'll prepare better for next week game, against Uruguay, we should win this one also to secure our first position.
