(btw,from tomorrow until the 15th of february i'm going to be on holiday to southeast asia so i won't write here and hope i at my return i will read lots of interesting articles and posts and - most importantly - good news about dutch football.) @goose: this is a pity. and one more thing: when oranje was great at the beginning it always was built on one or two big dutch club: 70s – they all played at ajax and feyenoord,later at psv. late 80s: ajax and psv. 90s: ajax and some psv players. ok,they all went abroad too but before going there they had been playing together for years. this is why they played so automatically because they knew each other’s thoughts. unfortunately this is no more the case,and this is one of the reason why oranje doesn’t play well.

There's no world class players really. Just a couple of years ago, Feyenoord had Pierre van Hooijdonk, PSV had Mark van Bommel and Ajax had Zlatan Ibrahimovic... all of them players who could perform at any place. Today there is only one player like that and thats Gomes in PSV. But I think its temporary. We wont get back to the glorys of the 90s, 80s or 70s, but we might be able to go back to where we were five years ago... True… this is surely a down period. There’s no world class players really.

It's funny... for 6$ a month (extra) I can get Setanta sports here and watch a Dutch game every week (at least) but with how Feyenoord and AZ are performing - to name a few - I almost can't be bothered, you know...? I am not that motivated anymore. I love to watch the Meringuez, Van Persie, Vaart, Van Bommel and Seedorf but the Dutch League is getting pathetic... Horrible….
