Provisional Dutch Squad Named

Simon · 21-04-2006, 05:41 PM

Netherlands squad:
Goalkeepers: Edwin van der Sar (Manchester United), Henk Timmer (AZ Alkmaar), Maarten Stekelenburg (Ajax Amsterdam), Patrick Lodewijks (Feyenoord)

Defenders: Khalid Boulahrouz (SV Hamburg), Wilfred Bouma (Aston Villa), Giovanni van Bronckhorst (Barcelona), Tim de Cler (AZ Alkmaar), Urby Emanuelson (Ajax Amsterdam), Kew Jaliens (AZ Alkmaar), Jan Kromkamp (Liverpool), Joris Mathijsen (AZ Alkmaar), Andre Ooijer (PSV Eindhoven), Barry Opdam (AZ Alkmaar), Ron Vlaar (Feyenoord)

Midfielders: George Boateng (Middlesbrough), Mark van Bommel (Barcelona), Philip Cocu (PSV Eindhoven), Edgar Davids (Tottenham Hotspur), Nigel de Jong (SV Hamburg), Denny Landzaat (AZ Alkmaar), Hedwiges Maduro (Ajax Amsterdam), Wesley Sneijder (Ajax Amsterdam), Rafael van der Vaart (SV Hamburg)

Strikers: Ryan Babel (Ajax Amsterdam), Romeo Castelen (Feyenoord), Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (Ajax Amsterdam), Dirk Kuijt (Feyenoord), Martijn Meerdink (AZ Alkmaar), Ruud van Nistelrooy (Manchester United), Robin van Persie (Arsenal), Arjen Robben (Chelsea), Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink (PSV Eindhoven)
--------------------------

20 of the 33 players are still Dutch based, to me it looks like a pretty solid squad atm and id be interested to see who will get left out, i really hope Huntelaar gets picked cause hes in such good form a guy who can score goals as reguarly as he has been is crucial in a major tournament. i thought Seedorf might of still had a chance of making it, but im not too disapointed, it will also be interesting to see if Davids makes the final team...

Darren Bent scores goals regularly, but I can't see him being crucial to England's plans.

Is Roy Makaay injured ?

aussie · 21-04-2006, 10:57 PM

if that not the case, i think its a bit foolish to leave Makaay out. Also thought Seedorf may have had a chance.

Bring back Bergkamp...

From what I've heard Seedorf is about as popular among his fellow pros as a French kiss at a family reunion.

Given Holland's habit of falling out with each other it may not be a bad idea to leave him out this time.

hes scored 6 goals in the league in Germany this season, he's simply been left out...

Huntelaar is a quality player, he obviously wont be picked in front of RVN or Kuijt, but he should be there in the squad somewhere...

Started off well and hasn't done a thing since.

Huntelaar is a bit awesome! scores soo easly!
all these AZ players selected, I dont see that justified !
Seedorf shouldnt be in.
pitty Stam stopped, Davids should play! yes I think he should, although a bit to much of a temprament imo.
this squad knows what they can do, they seem like they are mates, which teams of the past didnt show most of the time!
yup I can see us getting somewhere!

i cant see all the AZ players making the squad though, of those named in the 33 i think only de Cler, Opdam and Landzaat will make the WC...
still on Huntelaar, if he isnt in the squad ill be more than shocked...

sledger · 23-04-2006, 05:49 AM

no real surprises there for me personally, although i would have thought makaay would have been included along with seedorf, but i dont think they will be missed particularly. Slightly surprised to see Davis there though, with concerns over his fitness. Very pleased to see Maduro and Emanuelson called up, if they get a go in the side i would back them to do well.

Maduro is a certainty imo, from what i know of him i believe hes pretty versatile and a very solid player...

sledger · 23-04-2006, 06:30 AM

yeah thats the general impression i got as well, plays in both defence and midfield, what i have seen of him has unfortunately been pretty limited so i look forward to seeing more of him.

Is Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink some sort of noble or something. I thought 'de' was 'of' (like in French), eg de Boer. Why does this guy have an English word in the middle of his name. And what do the commentators use - Hesselink?
