Marco,himself has to change the tactics. he will have more than a half a year for this.

I love when Holland plays in a big tournament and all the fans are happy and supporting the team with orange colors. But I wouldn´t like to hear people booing the team in a big tournament and I think there are periods for a coach and I think his time is full as our national coach. He has had his chance and he did win many games but so far he has not delivered his dominant and attractive style of play and Marco has taken so many wrong decisions, we all know his bad decisions. I think the Dutch fans are willing to see a person like de Haan in command and it would be great that he will become the coach before the groups draw for the Euro 2008. I think that will de Haan we can make it big at the tournament and with San Marco it will be a disaster again.

And like with tennis and vollyball, the top 4 (or 2) of the B-group could promote into the A-group and vice versa... If people want to know about Rafael, there must be wonderful youtube clips on him. I do feel raf needs to move to Spain or Italy (preferably Spain) to be seen as one of the the truly big boys. It's either that, or Bayern Munich I guess... I like the A and B plan.

No one seems to know who he is (in canada) because he plays for hamburg. Sneijder and Drenthe got famous this summer because they play in Madrid now, but v.d. vaart is still an unknown.

Out of the world cups and euro cups, they've only managed to score 8 goals, and 7 of them came in euro 2004. So i hate when people say greece is a good footballing nation. But i agree with goose in a sense that we should have A and B groups. We can avoid situations like Germany 13-0 san marino, where all of a sudden Lukas Podolski's the best striker on earth. And if you ever compare country top scorers it's unequal, because Player A could have 40 goals against real teams, and Player B could have 50 against San Marino.
