Robben has become obsssesed with himself. Ball hog extreme. I can't count the times he could have put the ball off to another player in a better striking position. He wants all the glory, and if he recieved a half time lecture, it didn't stick. I'm sure RVN was not piised to come off as he was looking frusterated. If the next game turns into another "Robben trys to win the world cup for Holland" they are done for..again. RVN for sure. Robben has become obsssesed with himself. Ball hog extreme.

He has because of the way he plays made it easy to mark the Dutch as you know what will happen when he gets the ball 70% of the time. I counted at least 4 of his crosses and corners coming accross poorly as well. Maybe if they had a 2 or 3 goal lead he is ideal but that is it.

It's necessary to gamble on him. Cocu is an interesting choice.
