After watching this I feel far more optimistic about the future of our national squad. The youngsters played well against a team that finished as runnerup in the last world cup. Arjen Robben has some sublime silks, although I can't believe he is only 28.
I'm a neutral (a Paddy!) but REALLY impressed with the way the youngsters done last night. Two that stood out for me were Sturridge and Welbeck - particularly Welbeck. Fast and nippy. It's a shame that Holland have 3 or 4 world class players i.e. Robben, Van Persie, Sneijder and Bommel. They made the young lads work bloody hard.
