To throw on Robben and van Persie both on was a very brave decision. Credit to Robben, he rewarded his manager's faith in him, I think he was outstanding when he came on. To make one and score one was awesome.
I do like van BAstens style. I think he saw that the French were likely to stream forward looking for goals, and he exposed their difficulty to getback by catching them superbly on the counter attack.
Does Martin o'Neil not like Holland, he's comments after the game were a bit flat I thought.
