Can you imagine what kind of blokes do that? Get up early, in the cold, on the bloody boat and haulin' those fish from the nets and all? Cold...wet...tough work...that creates a strong genetic programming. Van Persie's dad is an artist. A painter (or sculptor). Robben's dad is professional stamp collector! Just kiddin' of course... He's a coin collector. Apparently, Kuyt is from a long lineage of sea-faring fishermen. Can you imagine what kind of blokes do that?

Robben’s dad is professional stamp collector!

I haven't seen him much but the only video I watched he gave me the impression of having Ronaldo's style. Elia seems like a very versatile player.

They face a must win in Macedonia followed by the Holland match. The bad news is that they have several injuries. Iversen (Ex Spurs and Wolves and now Rosenborg) is out for the first game but they hope he is fit for Holland. Doesn't matter really, as Oranje should have qualified already by beating Iceland by then. Also their CB, Reginiussen who is hunted by several EPL teams is out for probably both games. Goalkeeper situation is like Ajax, you don't know who starts until you go to the game. The team is in a bit of a mess. However, they have the old coach Olsen back who is a bit of a master of getting results. We're all playing for second place because Oranje have this all wrapped up and I would not mind if you did us a favour by beating Iceland followed by a pretending to be dead exercise but I know that will never happen. Either way I will be happy as I will at least have one team to root for in SA in 2010!!! So here is the latest information on Norway leading up to the qualifiers.

OK, we all knew he could run like an endless loop, but he is also never injured. And that is playing in the English Prem which is full of butchers left right and center, week in and week out. Imagine all the kicks and knocks he gets in a game. He should write a book about conditioning and strength building because he seems to have got it right. Never seen anything like it. Talk about the Energizer bunny, this guy just keep running and running and.... @Jeroen: Despite what my friend Tiju will say, I am totally amazed at the fitness level of Kuyt.

Might be possible since the new coach thinks very highly of him (and tried to sign him for villareal a while back). It seems almost certain now that Braafheid is going to Ajax to replace Vermaelen. This would be absolutely terrific. Braafheid left, v.d. Wiel right. That's some good wingbacks right there. It's still looming in the air whether Elia will go to Ajax or somewhere else. In any case, having Jol at Ajax certainly makes players more willing to come. I'm excited about next season already... some things i forgot to mention:

I think he should transfuse some of his blood to Robben and van Persie. I just hope his looks doesn't carry on to them as well! There was a possibility of VDV going back to Ajax, but he has now stated that he wants to stay abroad for a couple more years. I am looking forward to see Elia in action. Let's see if he can put some pressure on Robben's position :). Dirk Kuyt is one tough dude. I think he should transfuse some of his blood to Robben and van Persie.
