Agragami – Whole heartedly agree as an expat Dutchman I meet soooooo many fans of Holland, it’s incredible that the KNVB hasnt put up an English site. Pathetic ! Goose give them a kick up there – Jan report it to the AD !

I wholeheartedly agree with Mario. It will not be wrong to label me more loyal Dutch fan than the dutchmen themselves. But it’s so utterly disappointing that I cannot decipher the KNVB website. I cannot go through the website of my most favourite team, Imagine the agony.

Last year the KNVB had announced an English version of their website. Where is it? Please do something Jan. Let’s start a campaign taking all the fans outside Netherlands, who do not understand Dutch. Or something of the sort that would make KNVB bosses take note and act.

Who cares anyway? I am sick and tired of the arrogance from KNVB and would not even visit their site anyway.

Besides it would just yet another overly political correct and propaganda medium for KNVB which I don’t give a monkeys fart about.

My dear Mario, as some of the bloggers will testify: I’ve been trying to get them to listen to us for quite some time. They don’t seem to care. The ladies at the press office agree wholeheartedly with us, even the guys at the content-management desk “would like to see an English version soon” and all that, but there’s no action whatsoever. When I posted elements of their email to me on this site, I even got pissed off reactions…

I will try again, but I’m sure I’ll annoy them even more by doing so.

More later…

the only thing that scares me about this team is the defense…but i would still prefer boulah to heitinga cuz the team aready got a lot of pace and skill in the midfield..also i think boulahrouz has strong physical presence in the field and does good in major tournaments..
midfield and forwards…….i hope they entertain just like they did in the euro…..this team has potential to go all the way and i really hope the dutch do good in the next world cup…good luck!!

Guys:

What happened to the KNVB website? They promised a while ago that they would launch a totally new version in english and now the page is only in Dutch. Do they think Oranje has only fans in the Netherlands?. I mean, I´m not asking a webpage in spanish, french or italian but at least english. Stupid marketing error!
