Unbelievable Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Reports in Holland are surfacing Stekelburg may not be able to figure in the final. If so, will be interesting if Van Marwijk goes with talented yet inexperienced Michel Vorm or experienced and dependable, but not world beater standard Sander Boschker if this happens... Hope we don't have to find out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 The final isn't too far away from being La Liga stars vs La Liga rejects (plus a few minor successes). Van Bommel, Sneijder, van der Vaart, Robben, Huntelaar, van Bronkhurst, Bouhlarouz, Heitinga - all played in Spain, with quite a few of them flopping.

Village Idiot Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Well, calling them flops is a bit harsh. Sneijder/Robben was a moronic decision and it was pointed at the time of their sale. Gio was a success for us, Van Bommel was fine for us but he wanted to play more and asked to be sold, Huntelaar flopped (and in Italy too), Heitinga was decent for Atleti and his sale was decried by fans, Van der Vaart has been muted but has had a decent season... Bouhlarouz is just pretty awful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Minus the time he fucked us against Fulham he's a generally decent ref in comparison to the rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest je85 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 When do we find out who's refereeing the final? Or do we already know? Howard Webb hopefully! We need Van Bommel and De Jong to be able to get into Xavi's and Iniesta's face or we don't stand a chance, so a more lenient ref would be more than welcome... It's rare they give the final to a ref at their first WC, wouldn't be surprised to see him get the 3/4 playoff though, he's had a solid tournament. Shows how much I know.

No, but I don't believe a mistake makes them terrible at their job- same with players and managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
