Another great counter attacking perfromance from the Dutch
France will look at the game and see that they did a lot of things right and made chances, but the Dutch team is just full of goals.
I havent seen a lot of him before, but the lad with the no 10 Jersey who plays inside left, Schnejder, is a hell of a player... lovely finish for the 4th goal, and he looked pure class in both games so far - he's a very good player.
The Dutch defence still looks like they can be vulnerable, but when they have so much going forward its gonna take a big performance from someone to beat them.

I'm sooo happy my team will be moving on, and they look so sharp; I hope they continue to play so well.

The thing about Robben is he just gets his head down and runs at people, and he has pace and good close control, and that always makes him a threat.
His attitude and injury proneness have always be an issue, but when he is full stride he's a dangerous player, especially against an ageing defence when the game is breaking down.
It was a good delivery to set up Van Persie, but to be honest Gallas made it pretty easy for him by deciding to stand still on the penalty spot rather than closing the gap between the keeper and the winger.
