It would interesting to see how he did though. the only good it would so is another creative midfielder as you said lol hahaha jan i agree kuyt would just need to learn how to contain, and also positioning he doesnt want be caught to far forward or behind the center backs if they step up.

You'd think he would be awesome. It's just that he was never taught to think re-actively if you know what I mean. As a defender, you always wait for the opponent to make a move. It takes patience and discipline (see Stam). Kuyt would be horribly exposed as such, I fear, but by golly it would be cool to have him on that spot and play another tremendous creative guy upfront haha...

This is my line-up assuming no injuries. Stenk van der wiel,heitinga,jm,braaf, Van Bommel, De Jong Robben, Sneijder RvP Kuyt If we need to score a goal or possess the ball more we drop wes into the holding role for van bommel (destroyer-de jong, playmaker-wes) and put VdV where Sneijder is, or take kuyt out and put the hunter in. Also I think Kuyt should convert in a wing back for Oranje, how good do u think he would be? he certainly has the workrate, fitness, defensive, and offensive capabilities to do so. what do u guys think?

As always,Gerrard and co. have been tipped as favourites to win today's match(which,by any means,is not surprising 2 me since the British Press always considers their national team to be the best in the world). But what really concerns me is our defence(especially Ooijer) What about today’s match,guys?I think it’s gonna be a draw(2-2 or 1-1).

You're absolutely right, a Sneijder and Van der Vaart duo could be world beaters. Real Madrid never gave them a chance but that club probably would have found a way to screw up Xavi and Iniesta too. @abhirup & bobotoh.

I doubt if BVM will play VdV ahead of Sneijder in that position...but that looks to be the team. Only Wes i/o VdV. Gerard – If Schaars is fit he will play, but De Zeeuw is good there too.

Though they are yet to prove it,I think both are as good as the Spanish duo.
