[807] Of w00t for Oranje!

I’m delighted to witness the Dutch cliched their first win (tag).

The first half was dominated by the Dutch and proved to be a boring one, despite the fact that the only goal of the match occurred in the 18th minute. The second was more interesting than the first, with the pendulum tilting slightly to the Serbia and Montenegro’s side. A more even fight and more entertaining. In the end, like what the commentator said on TV, the Dutch won the match but Serbia and Montenegro was hardly humbled.

I was surprised to see how ineffective Kezman was. Kezman was a hitman at PSV Eindhoven a couple years back. After Nistelrooij left for Manchester United, it was Kezman that rocked the Eredivisie. Worse, Ajax had no answer for PSV forward. He was feared by everybody and he scored goals like it was nobody’s else business. Today fortunately, he was hardly noticeable.

Nistelrooij was nowhere in sight too. Arjen Robben however is another story. It’s just a sheer pleasure to watch him play and create havoc in the Serbia and Montenegro’s defense.
