    I never understood why they relied on Robben anyway. I mean, hes good but hes too sensitive to injury. and lol RVP and specially Sneijder, egotrippig mothballs. They will lose the spot now anyway, time to give the decent young ones who still want to go some tryouts, see if they can deal with the pressure.


    haha you should see the live widget of AD.. Completely humilated should be better. Rekted even. 4-0 oh well lets see how shit goes in 4 years...

    Well the balance of tonight. One good player, Fosu-Mensah and whole bunch of bad ones. I don't know was this worse than losing to Iceland twice but it comes close.

    You got a bunch of sissypants playing for there ego. Iceland was a bunch of guys who worked as a team Does / can make a difference against overly arrogant egoists.

    Note: I never had much respect for the international team of the Netherlands anyway. It lacked cohesion, and teamspirit.

    it'll take some time for the Dutch team to shine again. Probably the same amount of time from the Cruyff, Van Basten era to the lost final against Spain era.

    Yeah. It is painful to admit, but we simply lack talent at the moment, and having to rely on half of a team of half fit players. You reap what you sow.

    The bad years were really only early 80s. We were 2nd in 74 (Cruijff) and 78 (without Cruijff). Won EC in 88 (with van Basten/Gullit/Rijkaard) and second in 92 (EC) and 2nd in 2010 and 3rd in 2014.

    Yeah, Spain is a bit further in the recovery phase though, while the Dutch are still in meltdown mode.

    I am from Zeeland but live in Finland. I don't cheer for the Red Devils though! And Finnish football is in an even deeper depression than Dutch. Ice hockey is just the number one sport here so it's difficult.

    Yah, we got De Gea, Carvajal, Thiago, Asensio among others that are top tier. It is more of an identity crisis than lack of players imo.

    Because our coaches seem to think he doesn't fit our system because he is a static striker that only lurks for chances in the 16. In my opinion Bas Dost has really been mistreated in Holland. He deserves a chance, a whole more than van Persie and Janssen.

    That one isn't happening last I heard. But now I see other updates and I don't even know what the hell is happening.
