I guess I have to break out my Learn Dutch books that I never got around to using. I used to visit http://www.knvb.nl daily until they made it pretty much Dutch only….

If so, does anyone know any other Dutch soccer blogs? PS A big thankyou to all the people involved with this blog for giving myself and others a place to voice our opinions..... lots of respect for all the time you've put in.

Holland won all their games except 2 in the qualifications, got 7 points same as Argentina in the group of death. Lost in a WAR game against Portugal ( one of the great teams in the world) 1-0. Things happen. 1-0 ... Brazil might lose 1-0 ..it is a play offs tourny. U lose by one goal from a clear offside and a hand of god ..but if the ref did not get it, u lose. And you are out. So I guess we cant judge and say that Holland did bad becuase we lost this game. Keep up the faith. There is always mistakes, we can always fix it. Remember .. 4 years ago we were watching other teams ..not the Dutch team reaching the second round. Why do we keep saying that Holland and MVB sucked ?

I mean, no wonder the guy is exhausted when he goes home to take a nap. I mean... jeez... Just kiddin'... Still, I do think that with teams at Oranje's level (or Spain, England, Portugal) it takes just a little tweak and some sort of luck/momentum to go from mediocre to fantastic. Can you remember Oranje's first match in the EC'88? Or the first match at the WC'94? Dramatic! I know it's only ifs and buts, but with vd Vaart in figthing fit form or Van the Man in topform, it could've gone the other way. If Cocu hammered that ball in the goal and v Persie scored fromn his chance, Portugal was out and we could've been champs. That's how it works in football! And everybody would've applauded Van Basten. Take Michels in '88. He wanted tu use v Basten as left winger! By "chance" it went allright against England (they hit the post twice and were denied a penaly), so that's how fickle it all is. Anyway, take care amigo, catch ya later...

A kind of "Pitbull attack" but not football. Seen during Portugal - nl and previously Lyon - Eindhoven. What could be excellent Dutch football is overshadowed by the aim to physically dominate and injure the opposing team. The Dutch team :

BUT, Jan i guess what you say is true, Johan is afraid to lose face, guess hes happy playing golf in Spain and have an advising role from a distant.... still, i realy wished it to happen just once... b.t.w. realy hope Arg. and Eng. will win their games!!! greetz WIJ HOUDEN VAN ORANJE @alaa, agree with the 1990 thing you say, we had such a great team, the players wanted Johan, they didnt get him and it was by far the worst WC Holland ever played (with that much talent)…
