Netherlands

Wave of the future

Does anyone care about the Youth championships? I have no doubt that they will be forgotten whilst the World Cup goes on but with the Netherlands’ reputation for producing exceptional youth talent maybe its worth a look? Come Euro 2008 (van Basten’s real target) the replacements for the current older members of the squad will be coming from here more than likely. Some of the players have even made senior starts, Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Ron Vlaar are two examples.

It should only serve as more motivation knowing that Foppe de Haan’s handsome mug is on the front page.

Just learned that Haris Medunjanin is not going to the U-21 Euro Cup!! One of Holland’s biggest talents - he plays for AZ - does not mix well with Foppe de Haan and is told to stay home. While van Gaal recently made Medunjahin the no. 10 of AZ, the new playmaker. The man is a magician on football shoes. A joy to watch…

Well, divine intervention… Medunjahin is going after all. He replaces PSV talent Affelay, who got injured last week…
