Dutch down with six against Japanese; a game to forget
After the first two matches of the season in which we saw an improving line, the third match was against the Japanese. A team which we used to compete with in the lower half of the table and one against which we thought we would be able to bring some points home.

Reality appeared to be different. Our inaccurate passing throughout the entire match was punished time after time by the fierce playing Japanese. Where we weren't able to get one ball right, the fast-paced opponent was bringing the ball quick and seemingly easy into our box. If it wouldn't have been for a strong goalkeeping Marco, we could have lost by a lot more.

Let's quickly forget about this match and regard it as an off-day. Next match we should be kicking off the ball positively spirited again and show our recuperative power. In any case, it's time to score a goal.
