Holland will go further than England. Van Basten is a better manager than Sven. The squads are quiet similar, England might be slightly better defensivly. But with Van Nistelrooy, Robben, Sneidjer, Van Der Vaart and the others i dont know too much about like that Castillan (?) i think they are alot better than us going foward.

[Roman Deini]

castelen you mean, he aint in the squad no more. yes defensive england might be better but i mean if you seen the defensive we had the last few matches every game almost changes cause of injuries and still holding the nill, plus van der sar is a better keeper england have. i dont like the keepers england has. midfield and attacking ah man, the players we have, vd vaart is a benchsitter tho, same goes for sneijder (he wasnt even part of the latest squad for the 2 matches). van nistelrooy might also think he gonna be one. kuyt, van persie, maduro. look out for these 3 players. next attack might look like robben - kuyt - van persie. best one out there right now imo. and our youngsters that are performing now in world cup under 20, we have some good players. maduro also plays in there, same goes for babel from ajax and quincy owusu from arsenal. damn that last kid is fuckin good. thing is van basten gives the youth a chance, doesnt give a fuck about them players like a seedorf or a kluivert no matter how good they play or not. he dont want those in the team.

36 probably gonna scout them players now with Football Manager

haha already signed Hedwigs Maduro a while back. Heard of Kuyt, he might be coming to England.

How do the Dutch over in Dutchland feel about Robben? Hes already a legend at Chelsea and got in the Premier league team of the season last season and he only played about 4 months of the season.

Amazing player and scores plenty of goals for us.

[Roman Deini]

They see Robben as a very good winger, not a legend yet in our eyes, but thing is dude is injury prone as hell. one tackle and he already complaining about the pain, he needs to get physical more and all that, work on that.

[36chambers]

I even got a Holland home shirt with Robben on the back... come on Holland!

haha

might start a Football Manager thread in a min

word.
Holland looked alot better than England in the Euros and took part in the best game in the tournament (vs. Czech Republic).
I'm English, but can't really complain about Portugal beating us because they were the better team in that game, disallowed goal or not.
England have the best team since 1966 at the moment, but still look a little toothless whenever Rooney is missing.

anyway, I reckon Holland have as much chance as anyone of winning the World Cup. On their day they can beat any team in the world.

[ShogunAssassin]

true the dutch have a quite strong squad.

[Ronin]

robben a legend? LOL

hes the same as pires, good player but dives like a fag

sean wright phillips is easily as good as robben

the way chelsea play makes it easy for an offensive winger, especially with cover from 2 defensive midfielders

lol at van basten being a better manager than sven

how many years experience has van basten got? has he ever guided an average team to the league title like sven did lazio? im not saying holland are shit, but i feel next year england could win

[Krimewave]

Robben is a class above Pires imo.
SWP is good but again, not as good as Robben.
maybe if he played for a decent team he would fulfill his potential, but he's wasting his career at Man Shitty.
I can see him moving to Chelsea or Arsenal in the summer.

[Roman Deini]

van basten student of cruyff, and cruyff was a student of rinus michels (rip), that alone makes him better then sven
