why stop now?....believe slovakia is the real deal and will give holland a handfull...BUT not 4 the whole game...the dutch SHOULD wear on the slovaks as the game takes shape...robben will not start as of right now per van marjwik....but 2 know that u have a robben, elia, huntelaar, and affelay to come off the bench is frightening...the change of pace and possesion the dutch have shown thus far has been their recipe for success...i respect the slovaks very much...but tomorrow the clockwork oranje continue their unfinished business... and maybe we see some of the total futbol magic of the dutch...and if not...the rugged, wear your team down play that they have been displaying this cup will do just fine...cheers
If Holland was to advance to the quarter, I think they would get the job done in regulation + injury time.
Else, you may as well put some coins on the Slovaks. The question is which Slovaks team will show up tomorrow? The tentative and lackluster team against New Zealand and Paraguay or the inspired and disciplined one against Italy? My guess is the former because if you recall the Italians didn't start playing until the last 20 minutes which is too little, too late.
If the Dutch can score an early goal, it will be tough for the Slovaks to come back.

exactly, yea 90' +inj....my feeling is the oranje will wear down slovakia....there is usually a 10 min. lull in the dutch games....after pretty much a whole 2nd half(sans the last 10 mins.)of lackadaisical play v. cameroon..van marjmik ripped them a new a-hole after the game...here's hoping the message got thru to them and total futbol rules supreme tomorrow..cheers
and the oranje train keeps chuggin along...next up brazil or chile...no doubt to be underdogs to the samba boyz and will be a heavy favorite v. chile...i love oranje and i love green....gimme brazil and a decent underdog price.....the dutch are on a mission...the pace of the subs makes this team so dangerous at the moment....and now with robben in the starting 11...van der vart is an afterthought....cheers
