Journal Entry 3/28/11

Hungary vs. Netherlands

Final Score: Netherlands 4 Hungary 0

Netherlands: 4 4 2 Hungary 4 5 1

Goalkeeper Gabor Kilary made two great saves around the 65th minute. One coming against one of the premier players in the world -- Sneijder.

Don’t have a lot to say about the Hungary national team as they were clearly overmatched by the Dutchmen. The defense was very porous and Netherlands seemed to just be a step faster throughout the whole game. My favorite player of the game was Robert Van Persie just because he clearly seems to be one of the best players on the field and always giving it his best.

Ibrahim Affelay, Rafael Van der Vaart, Dirk Kuyt, and Robin Van Persie all scored for the Netherlands.

My favorite defender to watch for the Dutch was Erik Pieters. He did a magnificent job of not letting the Hungary players get around him and get many good looks at the goal.

My favorite defender to watch for Hungary was Pal Lazar, just for the effort he seemed to always be giving. There is not much good to say about any of the defenders though as evidenced by the 4- 0 final score.

Netherlands scored by great ball movement throughout the game with none better than the pass from Gregory van der Wiel to Robert Van Persie for the fourth and final goal of the match.


Thats all !! =]
