He was captain at Ajax and is captain at HSV. As for Holland going under water, it has been below sea level for over a century. If we were still cave dwellers we would be under by now, but luckily we have the best water engineers in the world to "prop up" the land. Did you know these 2 very important facts (not necesarily in order of importance) 1. Amsterdam has more canals than Venice 2. Holland had more Real Madrid players than Spain at Euro2008 Please dont be surprised if Raf becomes captain.

Big responsibility for such a young guy but I think he seemes like a good quiet leader; by example if you will. Though perhaps the Dutch need a real asshole leader to keep their egos in check.

If any continent or country is to be submerged into the ocean by the end of century it will be Australia b/c it is "The Land Down Under". Jan, you better move to America or Holland!!!

I'll vote for Snieder, although he played a very bad game against Russia(but who played well except Van Der Sar). Off topic, I was reading a report from the NASA predicting that Bangladesh,Florida and Holland will be submerged into the ocean by the end of this century. Holland should win the world cup before that!! ha,ha. Who will be the next Dutch captain.

This is exactly what I requested you for in one of the post. The highs and lows, ...etc. Best goals scored by ORANJE? There's alot! 1. Sneijder's 2nd against Italy, stunning buildup,the ball from Brockhurst flew across from the left wing to the right, picked up by ???, popped back to Sneijder and whala!!! 2.the 4th against France, the way Snijder turned with his back towards goal, snapped, the ball flew and dipped into the top far left corner...wow!!!!. 3. Van Persie's against Romania, excellent knockdown control and volleyed! Absolutely no chance.. 4.Robben's 3rd against France. It reminded me of Dennis Berkamp's goal against Brazil (qtr or semi's WC 1994), working his way on the left edge, beating 2-3 Brazilian defenders. On that thought, what's Dennis Berkamp doing these days? Will he be ORANJE's coach some day? Guys, if your memory's still good, just replay those goals frame by frame in slow motion in your mind. It will transport you back to glory, the joy of how beautiful those will executed. It's almost like Nike Adidas commercial! Jan,
