I wonder if people even realize that we missed our 3 starting midfielders and 1 reserve midfielder today.
Strootman: got injured at AS Roma before the World Cup, Van Gaal confirmed that he would be a starter before that.
De Jong: got injured against Mexico, played against Argentina again but couldn't play today, normally a starter.
Sneijder: got injured in the warming-up today, normally a starter.
Van Der Vaart: got injured at a training before the World Cup, normally a reserve midfielder but was a candidate to start due to Strootman's injury.
