Guest alex Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 As soon as Lita's free kick slammed off the post at 0-1, I knew we were out, not cos we're shit, but because we're England. Had that went in I think it could've been more than 0-2. The krauts aren't as good as us technically in my view, a view shared by people like Beckenbauer, but they know how to see games out playing shite. Did I miss something? The Netherland has been relocated has it? Aye, I think you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 the dutch coach called him a coward and a cheat on the pitch Wow... what a complete petty tosser! Put the whole incident up on youtube this morning if anyone didn't see it yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yofcMq1BT54 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-dizk-9oDo His acting skills don't get any better do they?

Marvellous Marvin Magler 0 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 If Chelsea go for Drenthe I wouldn't mind seeing us go back in for Wayne Bridge. Good shout! Getting back to Taylor, I think the Dutch coach owes Taylor an apology if he did call him a cheat etc. This was only Under 21's ffs and a few people seem to be getting carried away as to the importance of it imo.

Mowen 0 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 If Chelsea go for Drenthe I wouldn't mind seeing us go back in for Wayne Bridge. Was my first thought as well upon reading that news. Would be an excellent signing if we could get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was shite though they are, a German team would've won 1-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go for Drenthe I don't think it necessarily means we won't sign Baines. From what I've seen of Drenthe, he can also play anywhere in midfield.

Guest stevieintoon Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) If you think about this honestly, I don't think there's a coutry on earth per head of population who have produced so many outstanding players. Brazil produce bucketloads, but so they should witha population of 150m. Argentina have produced plenty, but again there's as many Argies in Buenos Aires alone as there is dutch in Holland fullstop. I suppose the jocks could've put a good case for this up to 20/25 years ago, but a countrywith a population of 15 million, where you can drive from furthest point to furthest point in under three hours, you have to say no one else comes close in terms of quality/population.

I totally agree. I think, iirc, that Johan Kruyff was only the 2nd full-time professional player ever in the Netherlands too. Not sure who was first but I remember reading that somewhere. They weren't even a European force in the 60's and then came from nowhere to produce some of the finest footballers and teams (most notably the Ajax and national teams of the 70's) ever.

I think 1970-2007. If you were to list the 15 best players in the world since then. Hand on heart you could easily name 4 or 5 as dutch. Without a doubt, Gullit, Cruyff and van Basten would be worthy of such a placing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Always admired Rijkard too. Koeman was a class player in his prime and was still able to play fantastic passes even when his lack of pace made him a bit of a liability. Arguably the best free-kick taker ever too. Van Basten stands out for me though. Best forward I've ever seen. Cruyff was before my time but my Dad has told me about how good he was and I've seen footage obviously. Bergkamp wasn't too shabby either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergkamp wasn't too shabby either. I WOULD include Rijkaard, and possibly Bergkamp. It's a shame Bergkamp wasn't 25 and signing for Arsenal now, because without doubt he could've easily meritted a European Player Of The Year award, but when he came to England we were seen as a second rate league, I feel like judas saying this but I think Bergkamp had even more technique than Peter.

Isegrim 8920 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Johan Kruyff It's Johan Cruijff. "And again and again, my name was spelt incorrectly." http://www.cruijff.com/eng/phenomenon/diff...cle17190141.ece I'm one of the (very, very) few Germans really admiring the Dutch style of football. The fact that they produce so many fantastic talents is imho very much down to the more relaxed approach to the game that is also about fun and entertainment.

Aye, I realised I'd spelt it wrong with the K. I know 'y' is the Anglicised version of 'ij' too. So fuck off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
