Wrong net, RVP.........

He should just retire from the national squad already, the quicker the better.

I agree! He's simply not the player he used to be! There's a reason why he's not at United anymore.

As I said earlier I didn't watch the 1st half but Blind, Depay, van Persie and Bruma are so incredibly shit that I genuinely hope they get an injury. It's a shame that players get fielded based on reputation and performances from over a year ago. Take van Persie for example, since the World Cup this guy has done every single thing wrong he could go wrong, yet he gets called up and fielded for a simple reason: it's van Persie.

Sadly van Dijk messed up twice.. And Zoet was caught out on the short side twice.. So basicly it doesn't matter who we field.. We suck ass

It's absolutely disgusting that a player can be called up based on the reputation he build up through his career while his last good performance was against Spain, 16 months ago. Same goes for Depay, this guy is called up based on the fact that he did good in the Mickey Mouse League while he hasn't done a single thing properly for the national team since the World Cup, or is it just a coincidence that Depay is shit every time he plays a decent team?

But do you have anyone better to replace him?

Huntelaar is 15x the player Van Persie is. Dost is 10x the player Van Persie is. De Jong should be picked over Van Persie because at least he gives a shit. Hell, I'd even go as far to say that Castaignos is better!

Of course Van Persie scores and Turkey gets a red -_-



Well, Turkey leads 1-0, so the Holland game didn't matter.



Funny Belgium was four year ago around number 80 of the world in the fifa ranking, thanks to Argentina and Germany losing some points Belgium will be number 1 in the new Fifa ranking.



People who need to be fired from their position within the Dutch FA (KNVB) and players who shouldn't be called up anymore IMO:

  • Danny Blind and the entire staff. These people simply suck at their job.
  • Everyone within the Dutch FA responsible for appointing Danny Blind, Guus Hiddink and other staff related to the 1st team.
  • Robin van Persie. This guy is way past his prime, he played his last proper match on June 13th 2014 against Spain.
  • Jeffrey Bruma. This guy is simply shit, might need to get tested for a mental handicap.
  • Daley Blind. He hasn't played a proper match for the national squad since the World Cup, he hot his chances.
  • Memphis Depay. Lacks 2 important things. 1). Can't get passed a defender unless said defender plays in the Mickey Mouse League. 2). Can't get in a cross unless the closest defender is 20 feet away. Give him another shot when he can do these 2 things on a regular basis in the BPL.
