Just a random question:
Do any of Holland's national team players play for PSV?

Now we have ex-internationals like Kluivert, Cocu and Kromkamp.
We sold this summer the internationals Ooijer, Vennegoor and Lucius0 -

haha, it sounds like my team. We sold a lot of players who play/played for the national team. Most recently the goalkeeper, Abbondanzieri. Now the only one left from the '06 national team is Palacio.
Pretty much the whole team was made up of players from European clubs. But these next 4 years, with Basile being the coach, is very likely that a lot of Boca and ex-Boca players will be on the roster.MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: 2008-06-11

A shame though. I loved the plan of vanRaaij. Get every talented Dutch youngster to play in Eindhoven. Now we have the second highest level of foreign players. I don't like that.« One man's glory is another man's hell.
You’re on the outside, never bound by such a spell.
Together in the darkness, alone in the light.

Agreed, I think vRaaij is the man behind AZ0 -

Sorry, but the depths to which they've sunk to since the days of Hansen, Dalglish, McGhee, McCoist, McStay, etc. are pretty bad.
Well Euro 96' the Netherlands progressed on goal difference lol
For 2008 although Scotland has improved we do have the group of death0 -

dkst0426 wrote:But that's the thing. Just like England, Scotland doesn't play well until their backs are up against the wall. Happened in 1978 when they should have done much better against Peru and Iran, happened in 1990 when they almost found a way to beat Brazil after flopping against Costa Rica, and happened in 1998 with a pathetic loss to a weak Moroccan team. They just don't show up when they need to--only when they absolutely HAVE to, and then they fall short.
Sound like Holland.:D« One man's glory is another man's hell.

Yeah who was in it again? I hope you bravehearts and braveheartettes make it. It will be tough.
And you forget that you didn't go to Portugal by a loss in a wonder game by the orange machine. You were almost there after the first match.« One man's glory is another man's hell.

Boom that isn't just a stroll in the park. Yeah I remember now, I was quite surprised theat Italy and France got drawn in the same group. And to top it off you get Ukraine with it as well.
