@goose i mean Calvin jong a pin.
how many sweeps done by heitinga against russia?the sucker allowed all the crossess to pavluchenko.
now we dont have vander sar so should get rid of these old diffenders.
i dont have any hope in any of these diffenders.Only BULA is ok that to in diffencive aspect but utter waste in offencive..
our lads roben,vaart,vanpersie,nestel are not good runners even englaar also.we cannt play with this 60 minutes stamina peoples with very low mental strengh.none of our diffenders are couragious and nobody have leadership skills in the back line.only beacause of the skills of znijder,vaart,vandersar we won luckly(partially)against italy and france beacause we scored first goal.
if opponent is scored first,Znijder will try alone from mid line area also.this guy could have assisted at least one goal both occasions(portugal 06 ,russia 08)if he was ready to pass or slice.

I am not impressed with this dutch olympic team.They qualify to the quaterfinals thanks to Nigeria and unconvincingly. Disappointing! To all those who say we start “slow”, well we have started reaaally “slow”…but the way we have played, I doubt if we can make it farther with Italy, Argentina,Brazil, Cameroon, Nigeria and Ivory Coast playing so well.
In the end its not coaches who win games, the game is ultimately in the hands of the players.

@tjiu’; whos Calvin?? where does he play, never heard of him

i do like the defensive midfield with deJong and vBommel…looks strong (if deJong can keep the same level of play as he did during the EC

btw; dont think you can play deGuzman on that position

hi bert(Dear father in law)
your diffenders sucks we dont have good diffenders in your squad.all are utter waste.
happy to see vanbommel back.(not coz of his talents)i like his mentoring power.
Any ways ruud is absent go back to under 23 diffenders even though they are not matured.they are far better than your current diffenders.
My line up
Huntlaar
roban-vaart-de guzman
van bommel- de jong
Calvin-pieters-marcelis-zuiverloon
stekelenburg
our old diffenders sucks

hi guys finally luck is coming into our way.
it seems like portugal 2006 under 23.
next against argentina if we cross them brazil or camroon ha ha our under 23 guys are getting good experience hope they will get more mental strength than our seniors.
seems like CALVIN JONG,ERIC PIETRS,ZUIVERLOON are rock solid diffenders
@BOB you are rocking man,by the by what is the Ridiculus game? Cricket?.hope so.

I read the review on the NU site:

The pitch was terrible and Drenthe had trouble playing his skilled play. Sibon was butchered by defenders and Drenthe hit the post, while Makaay missed a difficult chance. Vermeer also had to step up to save the day in a period where Japan was stronger. Definitely not a good performance by Oranje, but the boys fought hard…

Or something like that…

Pathetic is giving them too much credit. That was just awful. Somebody please take Sibon out of his misery and sit him down. Useless. Drenthe had a nightmare as well.

Looks like the luckey basterds made in into the quaters … i actually saw the goal during my lunch break..(penalty by Sibon)

let me guess; in true Oranje style; lose in the first match of the knock-out system
