Majestic Oranje - Euro here we come - Official Euro Thread

I wonder why the Germans take such an interest in the Dutch national football team. Are you obsessed with us?

 

The squad needs a clean-up, for sure. Stories like that the girlfriend of Heitinga is the leak to the press because she works for RTL (a German television company!!!) are really unacceptable. Just clean things up and never call them up again.

 

ok i will see it

 

Someone on the radio (a journalist) said that Van Persie had the biggest suite, just as the manager. Bigger than all other (star) players. "All pigs are equal..."

If I add this with stories like that Van Persie has said in the group that he is "almost of the same class as Messi and Ronaldo" then this is utterly ridiculous.

Sometimes I just feel embarrassed to be a Dutchman.

By the way, the story is not only that the girlfriend of Heitinga is the leak to the press but potentially also a leak to other channels. Unacceptable, and as mentioned before, the thorny thing is that RTL is owned by the biggest rival.

 

On Robben:

He is indeed one of the best performers for Holland on the euros of all-time. Between 2004 and 2010 he played very good matches. He is also only one of the few to have assists in three different euro tournaments (together with Klinsmann, Poborsky and Schweinsteiger). Definitely from a consistency point of view one of the best ever. Only downside are his injuries, which hampered him.



In fact, he is the only Dutchman to have an assist in five tournaments - euro 2004, WC2006, euro2008, WC2010 and euro2012. In all those five he had an assist.

Bergkamp is however the only Dutchman who made a goal in four different tournaments, that is not equaled yet.

 

your post:
"I'm right and you're wrong therefore I'm not listening to anything you say lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala (with fingers in ears), you're going to lose unless you do what I say lalalalalala"
you think that in order to improve the team we have to ditch our most prolific striker and best winger, and then "fill in those holes". Suggestions? but you want to keep the coach? the one who keeps selecting all those guys you don't like and has systematically ignored the best talents in the Eredivisie?
Your post is invalid. You make ridiculous claims and then don't even argue them, you just expect that we should all accept it as fact
Where the hell did the negative Rep button go????

 

^exactly why I'm wondering why the negative rep button disappeared.

 

It is amusing when people say de Jong needs to go

I don't think I have ever seen him on the German or Bayern boards...

 

Concerning Huntelaar, in terms of minutes played, he has been close to perfect for almost every season he's played with in terms of goal per minute. His only poor season was with Schalke in 2010-11: he was a goal machine in September-November of that season with 10 goals, but then faded after that and suffered a poor run of form and injuries.
