[ogsimon]

isnt robben injured??

 

[mhflierman]

Yes, but he's probably fit when it starts.

 

[mhflierman]

It's a good squad I'd say, but I'm disappointed that Melchiot hasn't been selected.

Is a good group i think we have a real chance of winning the eurocup.

[dannyeli]

nop... i'm from venezuela, but i've always cheer for the dutch team, i'm a big fan of them. I hope the win 'cause is about of time.

EDIT--- BTW what happen to Paul Bosvelt (Manchester City) and André Ooijer (PSV).

 

[Jambo Den]

Haha, Frank De Boer

 

[manutd4eva]

The Dutch and the French have the two strongest squads so far.

 

[VanTheMin]

what a squad!on paper it looks like worth of thrashing even brazil by a margin.but they lack that team game many a times in reality.
i really hope they make to atleast the semis.
and by the way,since the last2-3 days all managers have released their squads are they still provisional like the england squad?if yes,then when will the CONFIRMED squads be announced?

 

[Mulder]

7 strikers in the list...even thou not all genuine striker...but all are attacking talent... Class!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mulder]

And the Chelsea target man not in the squad...and their right back... depth!!!!

 

[fender]

Strong squad, hope they go all the way.

 

[Punkt]

why de boer??

 

[rpvankasteren]

Because he's the captain. I see no other reason.

 

[Funky--K]

what about Jimmy, man!? he did a terrific season at stamford against all the odds...

 

[rpvankasteren]

Van Hooijdonk, Kluivert, Makaay, and Van Nistelrooy are in the squad. Why bring even more strikers?

 

[Hans]

We Indonesians, former Dutch colony always supported the Dutch NT at any major tourney. I hope Heitinga and Bronckhorst do well there. Go Holland !!!!!

 

[Hendrik]

Hope they won't practice penalty shootouts this time.
