Do you not notice that on reflection, Van Basten was the only one to back Spain without any other team, and they were the team to win?

Van Basten sure does know what he’s talking about!

Funny this. Someone recently said about Johan Cruyff: if he knows so much about football, how come he never won the lotto

Man, he got this one right! Well, I wouldn’t have minded if he was wrong and Holland won instead, but he did pick the best squad…

hmmmmm…not sure if this is good or bad news,Robben is one of those players that can make a difference with his runs, but agree he is very much his own player not one to set up Ruud.
I believe Marco may just start Affelay and thats good well at least it’s interesting.We really do have depth without Babel vP and Robben.

I would put Kuyt on somewhere after 60 minutes if we were leading, he would run as much as 2 players and may even score by popping up when no one expects him to get there.
Can’t Wait !!

really robben. come on, way to tease us.Even if hes out only one game, he still wont be 100%. RvP better get his ass in gear, since we lost the one guy up front who can dribble

me neither..

I feel like cursing.

I read somewhere that Melchiot was not looking too great either.. “Recurrence of a groin injury” ???

Gee, I just logged on… Didn’t want to be surprised by reading the first day results (I’m watching it now…). And Robben is out? I’ll check the news reports, but that is not good. Italy losing Canna and Paruzzi – defenders – and we lose Persie and Robben – attackers. Interesting.

I’m not to worried though. We have Afellay (surprise, technical skills, depth) and we have Kuyt (workmanship, mental strength). Robin will get a chance to play in the second half no doubt. I can’t see Ruud and Hunter play together. It’s never been tested, they’re too much of the same. If we go 4-4-2 I’d rather see Ruud and Kuyt up front.

With Robben injured I don’t think we’ll get out of the group any more.

I think we shud considering canceling training camp for the rest of the tournament, it seems to be doing us more harm than good.
