Still nursing the hangover.
With all our injuries that was just about our B team and I guess they did ok considering the ridiculous refereeing.
Did you bribe that asshole with porn, drugs or both?
Also Robben is possibly the most annoying footballer on the planet. I accept he's really good but what a prick he is...

Stampede At Ivory Coast Match Kills 19 People
Les Elephants' celebrations have turned to mourning in the aftermath of their World Cup qualifying win in Abidjan...(goal.com)
Dreadful events marred Ivory Coast's 5-0 victory over Malawi yesterday, after a wall collapsed, sparking panic amongst the fans waiting to attend the match.
According to reports in The Daily Telegraph, part of the wall fell over, and, as collective anxiety grew into hysteria, policemen allegedly exacerbated the panic by firing tear gas into the crowd.
The tragedy occurred before the match kicked off, as supporters rushed to get into the arena. The huge queues that caused the disaster are largely, according to local sources, due to an inefficient ticketing system that means it is impossible for fans to reserve seats in advance, as numerical ordering systems are never adhered to.
Fans therefore wait outside for hours in the hope of landing one of the best seats.
At least 19 people have been confirmed dead as a result of the accident, though that number may rise, as it is so far a local press estimate and a definitive figure has not yet been reached. A further 134 individuals are reported as being injured.
What is perhaps surprising about the event is that the FHB Stadium in Abidjan had just been renovated for the CHAN tournament.
The match was attended by over 50,000 fans, many of whom were eager to see the return of Didier Drogba, a hero in his native land, who netted two of the Ivorians' goals in a result that pales into insignificance alongside this tragedy.Comment

You only have a B team! But you gave it your best shot.Still nursing the hangover.

It was a waste of our time.
What's the point in playing a football match if the referee has decided in advance to disallow any goals scored by one of the teams?Comment

It was a 100% goal! I admit. But you never really thought you guys could win,did you?Comment

We could have got a draw.
I'm going to place a bet on the next Dutch home match and make some money. Your football authorities obviously have an arrangement with FIFA. When was the last time you lost a goal at home, 10 matches?Comment

lol, ah come on Sesh you will get there by play offsComment

Hah you know I'm joking but for fuck sake the French ref is suspended from doing his own league for being shit yet we get him for a big game like that?
I think it's unlikely we will qualify if we keep getting these injuries. We don't have any depth to the squad. On Saturday we didn't have 3/4 of our defence and the second choices aren't good enough as you saw with the easy goals on Saturday.Comment

I think we have a problem playing in Amsterdam.
Away from home we have a loud support from the Tartan Army but in Amsterdam they mix the usual huge amount of alcohol with dope and then pass out or throw up.
