Netherlands vs Hungary Report
The Dutch crowd came to the Amsterdam Arena with high expectations after the 4-0 show against the Maygars in Budapest last Friday. The Orange fans did not get another FC Barcelona-like football show however. Robin van Persie scored the opener in the 13th minute but the Dutch were not able to control the match and Hungary fought back. Bert van Marwijk was irritated but relieved: “We lost the ball too much, we played sloppy and we wanted show-off too much.” The Dutch coach only complimented one player. “Afellay was execellent today. He was very good, pressuring his opponent and playing an awesome offensive game as well.”

England vs Hungary – International Friendly Match Preview
They will entertain Hungary at the Wembley Stadium in an atmosphere which promises to be frustrating… thanks to likely boos from English supporters.
England had a really nice run in terms of results during the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. But the momentum they built during that period counted for nothing in South Africa. The Three Lions’ adventure was a perfect nightmare.
Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard… the list of top rated English Premier League stars is long; the England team is actually a star-studded side aside from the fact that they are yet to find a top first choice keeper.
'Grasp The England Shirt, Bobby Zamora', Fulham Boss Marc Hughes
The English player of Trinidadian decent is one of the three new names called up by Coach Fabio Capello for this upcoming friendly match. Bobby Zamora was instrumental for Fulham last season, helping the London club to stun elites such as Juventus on their way to the final of the Europa League.

Fulham manager Marc Hughes expressed his joy concerning Bobby Zamora's England call-up. He stated:

Hungary vs Germany - International Friendly Match Preview
So the Germans have played only two friendlies this year. The first of those was back in March against Argentina where a terrible performance saw them deservedly lose 1-0 in the end. In the middle of the month of May though, Germany thrashed Malta 3-0 in a game that shouldn't have been lost either way, considering the potential of Malta.
Now against Hungary, the Germans' mission is not only to win but to prove that they can play as a team even without their injured captain Michael Ballack.
