Zamora and Jlloyd Samuel might suddenly find a reason to play for us if we qualify, but I hope Beenhakker (if he stays) doesn't decide to sell out to those opportunist bastards

Mark van Bommel

I completely agree with Bertjes squad, save for Vlaar. I think Ooijer will take his spot, and that Cocu should occupy a midfield spot.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Joep again.

I have Vlaar over Ooijer because I wanted someone to replace Boulahrouz. If I were to pick Ooijer over Vlaar I would pick Mathijssen over Opdam.

[Joep]

you didn't? Missed that. Mathijssen over obdam then

What's the story with Hasselbaink and Kluivert? Have they retired from international football, or what?

JFH was never first choice material for Holland, and Kluivert isn't exactly in MVB's good books. I have doubts he'll return to his late 90's early Y2K form for Holland. He won't be included in Germany.

Unless he scores 20+ goals in the Primera Division this season. ;)
