      I'd rather be denied access to the Euro's by Iceland where nobody noticed than being humiliated by them on the biggest stage…*cough* England cough

      You're so bitter about wijnaldum every time you mention him, you never praise him or say how hes been the reliable player for liverpool, just about his away form and how he couldnt save your club from getting relegated

      Why you disrespect feyenoord at the and atleast say the won the cup with brad jones in goal and rvp scored in the cup final and have the most goals p/m in the eredivisie

      Netherlands clearly peaked in about 2008-2010 with a mixture of young players and older players together. But they are now going through a transitional phase of waiting for the latest batch of youngsters to come good again. In 2014 they still had a handful of good experienced players like Robben, Sneijder, Van Persie, De Jong and Kuyt who could help the younger inexperienced players out during the tournament. Problem is all the players who were 20-25 back then haven't become experienced legends or of a good enough quality to help the now younger ones. Look at the last few dutch Squads. Ryan Babel and Hunterlaar are the most experienced players! Babel has jumped around clubs the last 4 years and Hunterlaar despite having a decent scoring record for the national side and Schalke still was seen as the Reserve Striker behind RVP. His last goal was the same time as RVP's final international goal.

      Koeman has his work cut out to get them to Euro 2020

      rvp isnt struggling in our team. it was just at the beginning becausr he hadnt played in a while but when he was fit to play he scored 5 in 12 and also had a goal in the cup final (which we won)

      What went so wrong with them. Not qualifying for the world cup with an aging squad and the young talent still not in full force replacement fine thats fair. But not even making the Euros! Jesus Christ that is dreadful.

      Why hate on Dirk Kuyt
      Dirk was a one of a kind footballer and a Amazing person,
      van Gaal played him on right wing back
      becaus Dirk is strong and can play on any possition, heck If they put him in goal he might still be great
      where he is playing now is his old club where he started so it makes sense to retire there

      And Ron Vlaar was exelend in the WC 2014 (Nickname Ron Beton meaning Ron Concrete )
