BBC Football Focus (programme which talks about football...) talked about Netherlands struggles recently, Gullit was on the programme and mentioned how it used to be that they had great world class players to carry and inspire the rest of the team to greatness. At the moment, they don't. Of course they mention the solution is development of youth but that's the solution all the time for all teams and takes time to sort.

But hey, can't be as dissapointing as England, trust me. Most England fans have given up on them winning anything ever.

Hmm, pie.

RolStoppable is Austrian lads Yeah?

I went as an away supporter to the Ireland v Austrian WC qualifier last week. Superb atmosphere. I enjoyed the stadium and the city was awesome. Anyone know if he's from Vienna itself?

US finally parted ways with Klinsmann. 2015 and 2016 were disasters with historically bad run of results and danger of not qualifying for the 2018 World Cup. Arena is a stop gap measure, with whole focus being on grinding out to qualify, then in 2018 see where to take the program.
