Applause for the losers: ‘74 sentiment

come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
during the last world cup qualifications, van basten was winning every game, and people were happy saying that we beat czech republic 2_0, but it was all about good luck, czechs coudn’t score a penalty kick few seconds after that we scored a goal and the games changed, but if they scored the penalty kick maybe we could’ve lost 3-0, and the same happened against bulgaria, bulgarians could’ve scored more than once and sneijder’s free kick was a little bit a lucky shot and a mistake from their goal keeper. but when we get to EC next year, we will be playing against teams like france and spain and italy. these teams have a lot of extraordinary players that can score in any second, they are not bulgaria!!!!!!!!!!!! so we shouldn’t be happy because we won against bulgaria, the performance was bad, i say bad not mediocre, bad because this team is the “oranje”, who used to show the world the best soccer games ever.
where in the world you see a striker like RVN that touches the ball only once (when he scored). what kind of game we were playing??????????

the back line , the whole defense line we have is baddddddddddd and then in the midfield we don’t have “edgar davids or wim young or aron winter”.
we are missing good players in some important spots on the pitch!
if we go to EC next year with the same team, our performance is gonna be very similar to that of wc 2006 where we got kicked out by the portoguese in the second round, and who knows if we get in the first round in a group like 2004 with germany and czech republic even if we can make it to the second round!

van basten should change a lot of things in this team, i say a lottttttttt! and i hope to see the ornaje team i used to see since i was kid, the real oranje!!!!!!!!!!!

spain might be an extraordinary team but they had difficulties against iceland. oranje is better than them - they always have internal problems (real vs barca,castilla vs catalunya,etc,etc),and this is why they don’t achieve anything.
i saw the italy-france game: italy seems not as strong as one year ago. they do not have many young talents,the defence is getting older, totti and nesta retired from international football,etc,etc.
please do not mention england,because the english national team is a joke: only their journalists thinkthat tey are favs of every tournaments,but they have very very poor results…
the real opponents will be france (at the momement the best team of the world - world class players in defence,in midfield,in attack,ribery is getting better and better),portugal, italy (usually they are always good at tournaments),and in a lesser degree germany.
but: oranje has the talent to win the ec even if it will be really hard against france.
i’m optimistic about our boys!

just for good matters…hahaha

amen alaa

Dont care about these so called great results..i remember some shitty results when it mattered the most..remember that in qualifing you play only 2-3 difficult games, just dont loose and youll qualify
what are Marcos results on the big stage? 2 wins, a draw and a loss…thats not special

and then the level of play; its pathetic, they played maybe 90 minutes of decent football during the whole of qualification.. a half in bulgary and some decent spells here and there
Marco has had plenty of time..he made some incredible errors, he f up relations with (great) players, he keeps on playing a system which has proven not to work (i was a 4-3-3 fan till saturday), and most frightning of all… no progress is to be seen.. we win cause of some individual skills, never as a team

we have nothing to do at the EC08, yes well qualify, well even make it to the second round and then my friends well be beaten at the first knock-out stage (prob. by portugal), thats it
