Comments on: Robben: nothing wrong with my walk! http://netherlands.worldcupblog.org/1/robben-nothing-wrong-with-my-walk.html World Cup 2010 - South Africa, Oranje, Nederlands Elftal, Eredivisie, Marco van Basten, Dutch football, The Netherlands Sun, 22 Nov 2009 14:55:54 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Caleb http://netherlands.worldcupblog.org/1/robben-nothing-wrong-with-my-walk.html/comment-page-1#comment-130605 Caleb Mon, 18 Feb 2008 15:53:40 +0000 http://netherlands.worldcupblog.org/1/robben-nothing-wrong-with-my-walk.html#comment-130605 I agree, Robben (and even Drenthe) have been playing very well lately. After so much time with Robben being injured and Goose saying he is no good and will never show form like he had before, I was starting to believe him, haha. But now Robben has played to very good games for Real and I can already see him getting back to his old form. I know you don't like him Goose, but he is a great player when he is on form.

In his last two games he's been playing great. I think he's not sidelining himself from the little bumps, because he knows he has to bring up his form if he wants to be a starter in Euro 2008. Before its been a given for him, he'd miss three monthes with a bump, and then van Basten would pick him up for a game over Babel or other in form players. A good example was the Euro Qualification against Slovenia, where he hadn't even played a game for Madrid, I don't think. It actually looks like Robben’s going to stay healthy for a bit.

I think I need a vacation...Maybe I should swing by Holland and catch a game in Eresdivisie one weekend? Could be fun, but lots of flying (and no sleep, but who cares). BTW, when is the last round in ED anyone? Anyway, I think the Bangles should stage a comeback and release a new version of their hit called "Dive like a certain Portugese"... At least I think Goose and myself would buy a copy.

Or...does he walk funny :-)? Davids was subbed though. Koster wanted to play Rasmus Lindgren. Ajax beat Sparta Rotterdam 6-2. Two goals Heitinga, Huntelaar, Lindgren and twice Perez.

To play in the Surinamese national team, you have to play in the Surinamese league, if I've understod it right. Their bondscoach, Kenneth Jaliens, wants to change the rules in order to become a team to count with again, like in the 60s.

If a player like Edgar Davids still wants to play international games, but isn't getting called up by the Oranje, couldn't he decide to play for Suriname instead. I really feel bad for Suriname, because they could've easily been a good CONCACAF team if there players hadn't opted to play for Holland. I'd like to see Suriname in WC 2010, but realize it's unreasonable to consider, because they have no real stars on the team. This is a bit off topic but I didn’t know where else to bring it up.
