THE POSTER MIGHT claim the reason MUTV are showing Netherlands’ friendly with Ecuador is because it gives Manchester United fans the opportunity to see Robin Van Persie and Antonio Valencia go head-to-head.
And while most pundits expect Luis Van Gaal will be announced as David Moyes’ successor next week, here in TheScore.ie we’re a suspicious lot and we can’t help but think this would mark the perfect opportunity for the club to present their new manager.
Even if it isn’t, it’s probably a good opportunity for people to see how just what sort of form one of the World Cup favourites are in before the trip to Brazil.
Whoops!

Glad TJV got the stage win for van Hooydonck. You could see what it meant to Vingegaard at the end.
Although Vingo is crazy good, would love to see Kuss win the Vuelta. And I mean WIN it and not handed it by team orders. Although not sure what team orders are for TJV.
@Kevin Dillon: Angliru tomorrow will reveal all. Looks like they’re going with a strategy of having Vingegaard attack and force the others to decide between trying to follow him (and ideally have Kuss and Roglic sit on their wheel) or wait behind with Kuss. Apparently van Hooydonck is awake and doing well which is great news in what has been a horrific year in the peloton.
I would also love to see Kuss win it, and as you say not be handed it which jumbo could possibly do. To be fair though their best option is letting Jonas attack and see if Kuss can just sit on whoever tries to follow and if he ends up in red at the end brilliant. Putting all their eggs in one basket and using up Jonas and Roglic to be domestique for Kuss would be dangerous even though he’s in red and deservedly so but not sure he would be able to respond to attack after attack. Cracking race and fantastic tactics and options from JV as usual.
@sean murphy: 100% on jumbo’s tactics.ostly always get them right.
