joeyt Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Just having a look at some of the squads for the World Cup - what's happened to the Dutch? Their squad looks really average. Am I underestimating some of their players? No, we've gone for youth over experience. Had to after 2012 in a way, but we're definitely not blessed with a great generation. We'll probably play 532 too.. Still, I do expect us to survive the group stage. What do you predict to be the starting lineup? Cillessen Janmaat Veltman/De Vrij Vlaar Martins Indi Blind De Jong De Guzman Sneijder Robben Van Persie Something like that Doesn't look great. Surely you have someone better than De Guzman. You Dutch love your midfielders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Christ, I thought we had an average side till I seen that Dutch one. That won't be good enough to beat Chile, may as well stay at home and wait for the Euros Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Are Lens and Elia crap then? Thought you could play 4-3-3 with Robben, RVP and one of them. De Jong, Sneijder and VDV in middle? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Are Lens and Elia crap then? Thought you could play 4-3-3 with Robben, RVP and one of them. De Jong, Sneijder and VDV in middle? Elia is not even in the 30 man squad. Agree Van der Vaart could be in there for De Guzman, but he's coming off the back of a disappointing season.

BrettNUFC Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Strootman is a loss, like. Surely he would have walked into that side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Extremely gutted at lack of Totti in Italy's squad. Really thought Prandelli will go for it, as Totti had given the green light. Why would Prandelli pick him though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Think it would be massively wrong to call him up when he didn't even put any effort in to get them to qualify. Balotelli will turn up for them like he always does when wearing an Italy shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettNUFC Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I'm disappointed Totti won't be at the World Cup but think it's the right decision. Was hoping he might claw himself into a call up but wasn't to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
