-RESERVE-

Do you think nistlerooy deserves to be in the squad?
Who else?Piet Velthuizen?

yes

just because he got some bad blood with van basten doesn't means he should be kicked out of the team

he is still one of the best goalscoring-happy striker ever played.compared to kuyt,i'd take Nistelrooy any day

id love to see nistelrooy. He's just so lethal in the penalty box. I hope holland will at least be in the final

Current fifa world ranking= 4th

Yes finally a TS! Would love to see how Huntelaar performed during the WC. Will he justified the choice made?

total football! go tapao the engrand!

would like to watch robben terrorize england's defence

There was one before this...But in the LYN fifa world cup section. click my siggy.

holland home jersey only 180..pm me 4 more...

Yea, after KJH current season, i do not think he deserves to be ahead of RVN..Maybe bert thinks he's too old?

Alright. Changed.. Bad source previously

This current season sees him being somewhat less in form.. Hopefully he does well..

Ooops..din notice.. Nice thread there..I'd mould this into sth as fancy as that when i have the time.. (Now exams season)
Anyway, i'll hotlink to your thread

yea...should changed it into more qualitative thread....we can share latest updates.

somehow i see hollands defence macam quite weak no big names :/

my bad.

he is saying the defence.
true enough that is the weakest department for holland.

Seriously, vlaar, van der weil, bronckhorst and heitinga is the best we could come up with.. From wat we saw from the qualifyings.. I think they're not as bad as ppl might think they are.. But not great either..

Well, attack is the best form of defense, hope that works for us..

But with good defensive midfielders like van bommel, de jong...i think should be able to cover the defensive line.

Defense don't come from individuals....Unlike attacking that based heavily in individuals....Defense at most of the time is a system...It depends on the strategy.

Ahhh..good ol' days when we had davids..sigh how much i miss him and his cool hair + specs

Added on May 24, 2010, 3:32 pmHolland vs mexico on 26th.. Cant wait..if sneijder and robben can maintain their form in the NT like from the CL final, i am sure we can go far in the WC..
