My old mate from Scotland Derek e mailed me to tell me he had got a ticket for this game and that I should  keep my eyes peeled for him in the crowd. Unfortunately he has also chosen to wear his Dundee United top - for those who don't know United wear tangerine.

With 30,000 orange clad Dutchman in the stadium what's the chances of spotting a tangerine top? Mind you he did promise to wave! Dundee United supporters have never been the sharpest of fans.

 Back to the action. With Robben's pace the Dutch must have a great chance to add to their goal if game continues at 1-0. At some point S&M will have to push on and that will leave gaps.

Stankovic gets a yellow card for a late challenge.  Arjen Robben is the danger man. He is looking like he did during his first season at Chelsea - goes close as he cuts in from the left and he hits a right footed shot just wide of the far post. Then he goes on another run and gains a corner. Five minutes to half time.
