Improving Indonesia a creditable 1-1 draw in Jeddah against Saudi.
No easy game in Jakarta for the Socceroos.
4-5 players of the Indonesian starting 11 last night, are Dutch born players at Eredivisie clubs, obviously with some sort of Indonesian heritage. Shades of Mata Hari (lived in Indonesia but 100% Dutch heritage).
Indonesia also have Elkan Baggott (on loan at Blackpool from Ipswich) though he didn't play last night. Sth Korean coach.
