Subject: [NT]Nederland - Crna Gora

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.

The 4-0 is a case in point of PM and passing on strikers. :D

Congrats on the win. That's really all that matters. :-)

Ok win, not that spectaculair but that's fine :) As long as we win! :D

I don't think the win was the problem. Neither the goals, I think we'll be anyway in first pot for world cup draw (if we end with 30 points, even with 28). I didn't like the way the team played, at least in first galf we didn't have too many chances. Against a better team, our chances would have been fewer and their chances would have been higher.
From this point of view, I didn't really like...
Otherwise, 523 can be a really nice tactic, I think we'll use it again, with some changes, though...

Much weaker teams = grab the midfield and its in the pocket? :)

yeah, that seems the secret :P

But, as I said, I wanted to test some moves.
At the end, it was a good example of: DON'Ts :))

was a good example of 'only use when desperate on the midfield' :)

We'll play against Crna Gora in ~25 mins...

lol, lots of missed chances :))

Pfu, only 0-8.. Uberweak (y)

Now you can start bragging about you having the 'shortest losing streak' ;-)

1 match lost in 48 games is also pretty fine :D

I think he can still brag about the many wins in a row, don't think that many national team coaches can say the same, or any of them ;)

erik koudekerke played??? surprised.... :P

I rested some players (we had 2 defs with 2 yellow cards) and I offered a chance to play for other players :)

Maybe some Polish NTC from the early years? Otherwise, I doubt this record will challenged in a long time to come. It's epic.
