I put the quotes in there cause that's a great talent for a striker to have, not saying he's bad or anything, but he's not the kind of player that will win a game on his own when his team doesn't know what to do and are just sitting on their asses. The dutch don't have a player like that anymore. I think their last such player was Bergkamp. Oh, they do have rafael van der vaart which is imo top 3 world. Dunno why he's not a starter for you guys. What a shame.
dude, van Persie single handedly give a very poor Arsenal team 3rd spot on this year EPL
you should see his match winning goal against everton
van Der Vart will occupy the same space as Snejder in the current set up, so unless Dutch change their formation, unlikely he will start

| Won't happen, but I can't see why we can't play vd Vaart and Sneijder in one team. Just put one of them next to v. Bommel and put Nigel de Jong in central defense instead of Mathijsen. Spain plays with Xavi and Iniesta and play possession football to counter the attack of the opposition. There's no reason why we can't play a somewhat similar style with the players we have. |

Meh, Nigel de Jong central defender? naaah, way to much yellow/red cards and not as solid as Mathijsen imo.
I think the defending midfield is really strong, Nigel de Jong and Mark van Bommel clean up so many balls.
vd Vaart and Sneijder are not the same as Xavi and Iniesta. Xavi is more a defending then a attacking midfielder, Iniesta is similar to Sneijder/ vd Vaart, thats why Spain can play with both and Oranje cannot
Spain has Fabregas aswell, he is sub because Iniesta plays on that position, similar to the Sneijder/ vd Vaart situation.

What does everyone think of Mathijssen possibly being replaced and who do you want the replacement to be?
1 more day until kickoff of the 2012 Euro!!! CAN'T WAIT! |

| Actually if VdV can run faster than my grandma, he could play on either flanks and switch up with Robben during the match |

De Jong can play without taking red or yellow cards if he wants he has done it before for multiple clubs.
Apparently there were 20k people watching at the public training of Oranje pretty crazy when you think about it. |

| I read somewhere that Sneijder has broken all records in creating chances in an Euro. |

I like how you want to take Mathijssen out when Heitinga has been showing such a terrible performance so far. And the discussion hasn't been whether VDV and Sneijder can play in the same team for ages, the current discussion is about having RVP and Huntelaar in the same team. VDV got subbed in twice in the last two games, and he didn't show anything. Huntelaar should play, and so should RVP:
....................Stekelenburg......................
..Kuijt - Vlaar - Mathijssen - anyone.........
...............De Jong - Sneijder....................
..Affelay/Narsingh - Van Persie - Robben...
.........................Huntelaar.......................Last edit: 2012-06-18 01:57:15 |

| Just as I though, Holland will very likely beat Portugal since Portugal can't turtle as well as Denmark or Germany. And when you go attack vs attack with this Holland team, its not gonna end well. |

| Jesus since that goal they are playing horrible, giving away 90% of the passes. This was bound to happen. |
