He's shit, he's always been shit, could have easily grabbed the second goal. Surely we have better keepers in this country? Blind can go to hell.

He's an ok player, his dad being the coach actually works to his disadvantage.

I wouldn't give up hope so easily Dutch-Gaf. Even if Turkey beats the Netherlands today, Turkey's last two matches is against Czech Republic and Iceland. Contrast the Dutch who face Kazakhstan and Czech Republic. If your team can get their act together and the Czech's and Icelandic win against Turkey you can still qualify via the playoffs.

RIP Oranje
And both of them will be already qualified, so there's a chance they won't take those games as seriously.

Hope Blind will become the first trainer to get kicked out after 2 matches.
Lol, atleast Memphis was providing crosses into the box. Wijnaldum should've netted his first chance.

Here's to horrible football generation. Proost.
He was giving backheel passes and failing when they were two nil behind, mate.
Pretty much the entire team was useless.

A year ago we were third on the world stage. With masking our lack of quality and playing out of a strict organization. They all threw that away for our dated possession and wide passing game.

Okay you got me there. Unless Iceland screws up then yes they will both make it by the end of they day. Still anything can happen so just hoping for the best is all I can really tell you.
Norway defeating Croatia puts us in an interesting situation. Winning against Bulgaria puts us in a perfect position to qualify before the last game. Anything else means it will be going down to the wire to decide if we qualify directly or be forced to the playoffs. That 1 point deduction Croatia got might make all the difference.

Italy is fortunate that Bulgaria also got a player sent off. Holding the lead would have been a lot harder if Mitsanski didn't get the boot.

There's been a strange lack of FIFA/PES info this year :|
LvG, what a guy, people usually realize how good he is.

That usually means they're not changing much.

Maybe. I usually just blindly buy FIFA, but I feel like it's time for a change. I've tried to see what PES is up to, but there's not much out there.

We need a lot more than that.
But to be honest I think Dutch football is dead, at club-level it's already going on for years and sooner or later the national team had to follow.
The biggest players (Robben, Van Persie and Sneijder) already are on their decline and there's no young Dutch players that seem to be able to follow in their footsteps. People call Memphis somebody who could be a superstar but we still have to wait and see.
On the other hand, these same thoughts have been told already in the early 80s (after the succesful 70s era) and the early 90s (after winning the EC in 1988) and everytime new supertalents have rised through the ranks after all.

You need a guy like Lucien Favre or Ronald Koeman who can make the best out of a team of younger players. But I have the feeling that the issue with your national team is actually superficial, that is you just need to regain your composure. It is true that you're having only few players that are active at the top level and it's also true that Eredivisie clubs are performing badly on the continent. But that wasn't an issue 15 months ago when you drew Argentina and won against Mexico, Costa Rica and Brazil.
Of course it was training with England. I don't understand why Hodgson has him in the side. He'll be almost 36 by the time Euros roll around next year and last season he couldn't stay healthy.
I would say that the 3rd place on that WC was the ''superficial'' part.
It just masked our underlying problems.
The problem is the KNVB. They're completely and utterly delusional.

"I don't know whether they're poor decisions", Van Oostveen said, referring to the appointment of van Marwijk, Hiddink, then Blind.

Hamburg is not playing tonight my dear.
So, they can't lose.
And so, football is not alive.
I beg to differ. Individually, the likes of Janmaat, Blind, Vlaar and especially De Vrij had a stellar World Cup. De Vrij in particular was so good he ranked third in the Castrol rankings that year. Every team would like a guy who performs so well. What I do find worrying though is that youngsters are late at confirming their talent (I am looking at you Dany Klaasen and Jordy Clasie).

PS4, made a New Zealand account to get it
Fair enough just saw the KSI video.
Seriously. I don't understand why not more German players (like Rode) are trying their luck as RB. It would be the "easiest" way into the national team. They'll never be selected in midfield.
Speaking of which, I wish Kroos and Gündogan would switch their position. Kroos next to Schweini has never worked all that well imo. (Speaking of the old Bayern days of course)
