WC 2010 qualifiers - Europe · 2009-03-28 Referee: Laurent Duhamel

not very impressive

almost

In the first half I was thinking about high 8ths, but in the scond half this ref dropped in my calculations. Duhamel was correct in showing De Jong a yellow for a tough foul, he was wrong booking Huntelaar. After more than one hour of attacks Huntelaar was fouled when a Scottish player fell down: the booking was a bit childish maybe it was not even a foul and the changing board for Huntelaar was already up.
Duhamel was correct in giving the penalty, but wrong when a header of the Scotsman went into the goal. All together Duhamel did not seem to be relaxed. All the time he was looking nervously around. His assistants though were OK. They were correct with all decisions concerning corners and throw-inns.

match

Scotland lacked quality, the Dutch side were not great either. The Scottish fans were better, they outsong the bored Dutch businessmen during the whole match.
