It doesn't exactly have ' the biggest names', but it looks balanced, and thats something England lacks :<
cuz they are low ! :)
World Champion 2014
De Bruyne still plays for Racing Genk. Chadli is also missing. And too bad Leekens never gives Mirallas a chance :-(
Mirallas had enough chances
Parent
Ever since he has been playing really well at Olympiakos, he only played 25 minutes vs Turkey and 10 minutes vs Austria. That's not what I'd call giving somebody a chance.
Parent
Dont think we really need him.
Parent
I think we can always use somebody who scores almost 20 goals for Olympiakos.
Parent
Mirallas is just bad
Parent
I disagree, but what do I know.
Parent
We can also get Mpenza back who's playing well in Verrewegistan.. There are far better players at the moment up front, Mirallas prove himself unworthy in the past (when he was still in France -> better competition) , so why would he be capable now? Because he's scoring some goals against crap teams?
Parent
Team full of good individuals, but can they play together?

Cuz NL is the #1 team in the world :)

Goalies Tim Krul (Newcastle United), Maarten Stekelenburg (AS Roma), Michel Vorm (Swansea City)

sorry but your defence is just terrible tbh
Parent
I think they've proven otherwise at the World Cup :)
Parent
World Cup Karate or ... ?
Parent
wa denkte nu zelf
Parent
zijt ge nu echt mongool of doet ge alleen zo? :D
Parent
Ja, dat was 1 actie in 1 wedstrijd. Kan ik er wat aan doen dat de Jong een ongeleid projectiel is.
Parent
Eén actie? Waar zijt gij over bezig? van Bommel heeft aan één stuk door belangrijke zware (maar geniepige) fouten gemaakt. Nederland heeft niet slecht gespeeld, maar het aantal gevaarlijke fouten was ronduit schandalig.

Zelfs bij die magnifieke goal van van Bronckhorst tegen Uruguay, moet je eens ervoor kijken wat er gebeurde. Hij stond volledig ongedekt omdat van Bommel wederop een speler zijn scheenbeen had bewerkt en ze even volledig verward waren. Nietemin een mooie goal. Ik hoop dat iemand ooit bij van Bommel even vuil te werk gaat en hij er een blessure aan over houdt, misschien leert hij het dan af.

Iig, ik heb liever een mooi spelende ploeg die er vroeg uitligt dan dit.
Parent
Op jou ga ik niet eens reageren omdat je compleet gestoord bent.

Bai.
Parent
Indrukwekkende mening heb jij zeg. Mogelijk verblind door je liefde voor je elftal.. Spelers als van Bommel of Totti (om een neutraal voorbeeld te geven) zijn een schande voor het professionele voetbal. Nederland had dit maal een paar van die vuile spelers teveel opgesteld. De enigen die deze mening niet zijn toegedaan, zijn Nederlanders. Open je ogen misschien?
Parent
Totti? Wtf? Totti is awesome!
Parent
Ja vondk ook, maar die heeft een periode gehad dat die gewoon iedereen onderuit trapte uit frustratie :P Als em het nie doet, ben ik ook fan!

Maar ik moest die jongen toch een bekend en neutraal equivalent geven want die snapt duidelijk nie waarom meeste voetbal fans beetje gedegouteerd waren van het spel van Nederland. Hard spelen, ok. Vuil en gevaarlijk spele, not done!
Parent
Wery goot team @ butchering Spaniards :)
Parent
Robben failed@scoring in the end of the game. Spain was the best team in the final, I have to admit.
Parent
Shit team yes (and shit coach)
Parent
Dirk Kuijt? stekelenburg overrated goaly
Parent
Its the team that v.Marwijk put together. Kuijt is underrated imo, and Stekelenburg is a really good goalkeeper, so no, he's not overrated.
Parent
Dirk Kuyt* ?
Parent
Its Kuijt actually, just as its v.Nistelrooij. They just changed it cuz people'll think its pronounced another way ;)
Parent
I was thinking about that when I did that comment but wasnt sure ;[ "gudjohnsen" has the same kinda
Parent
Stekelenburg

overrated

image: facepalm
Parent
He has been playing in a league where Icelandic players are actually in the starting lineups and they are "good" there for 8-9 years and the dutch league is kinda bad except for 2-3 teams. but we will see how he will play in seria A just every match i've seen him play he looks shaky.
Parent
Our defense is awesome with vermaelen and kompany both top players in the premier league
vermaelen is not top, arsenal are going downhill simply because the fact their defence is lack lustre
Parent
vermaelen was injured 90% off the time last season >.>
Parent
Vermaelen won the best transfer award during his first season in arsenal and he was considered one of the strongholds of the team, then he got injured for god knows how long and people just forgot about him.
Parent
true but thats best transfer for arsenal, once a top team, but not no more, shame really because they play some good football, but as i said their defence lacks strength, hes not bad tho
Parent
lol can't even score against a shitty team like slovenia
Goalies: Neuer, Adler

Defence: Lahm, Hummels, Boateng, Badstuber, Mertesacker, Aogo, Träsch, Höwedes

Midfield: Schweinsteiger, Khedira, Özil, Götze, Müller, Reus, Kroos, Bender

Attack: Gomez, Podolski, Schürrle, Klose

THIS team has potential
i agree, gotze is probs the best player to buy on football manager, alot of youngsters in there, gna be a team for the future
Parent
he gets injured for 6 months if you buy him anyway
Parent
- podolski
and if u add schürrle to attack, the other wingers have to go there aswell^^(müller/reus/götze)
Parent
i cant see any world class players in there, average prem players and a few could possibly make it into, lets say, arsenal/spurs, no real match winners and no impact players, i love how people look at a group of players and say omg look at them their so great, just look at our beloved england team(fifa rank 5 WTF??) they have match winners and world class players but still dont do all that well, i can think of 20 players that are better in each position with no problem at all, vincent kompany is very good though i must admit
UK will just start rioting if they have to play against good teams :(
Parent
lol yea, kids rioting not knowing what their rioting for, was sad, some teenager round this town got 4 years jail for inciting violence, didnt even do anything!!
Parent
that's because they are all youngsters... there are a few possible matchwinners for the future...

Like: mertens, hazard, witsel, de bruyne (needs to grow a lot tho)
Parent
hazard is a good prospect yea :>
Parent
should go watch mertens play with psv lately.. lol lol
Parent
i follow football, and hes not proven v's the best in europe, kompany on the other hand is proven and well established now, can see your point but you dont compare to other teams such as spain or holland, id say even england france and italy are a different level too, not to mention germany who have much better youngsters and more established experienced players
Parent
Ofcourse they aren't at that level, noone in their right mind would claim they are. But they should perform start performing as a sub-topper with all those upcoming talents and a few established players to guide them. Yet they struggle against even the most lackluster of teams :P
Parent
so do top teams at times, just look at brasil and other south american clubs, they all play shite until they hit a tournament, but i agree with the fact that they do have some good players but its nothing to get excited about^^
Parent
It is if you have seen what we had to work with 5 years ago.
Parent
lol 5 years ago you were like a sunday league team, very true
Parent
pretty good defence , some ok midfielders and attackers but random goaly's
courtois is pretty decent but yea their not great keepers
Parent
They couldn't beat slovenia, idk what u expect from them
no hazard, no vermaelen, no dembele, no verthongen, no chadli, ............
Parent
they still have bigger names than slovenians, sup.
Parent
We were the better team despite missing a lot of keyplayers. Slovenia was lucky to get away with a draw, and it's not as if Slovenia is that bad of a team.
Parent
As a team it's not that bad, comparing names/value it is + the game was boring as hell.
Parent
Odoi, really? :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD what good did he do so far? play with STVV and get deserved! red card in first game..
ze hebben gewoon geen rechtsback... dat is het enigste probleem :D
Parent
Next World Champion !
No Pocognoli, van den Borre? Defour should be in there...
Poco & VDB are not good enough for the national team atm.
Parent
defour is certainly good enough if you ask me
Parent
Leekens is a moron, never managed a decent team, some crapteams in BE & somewhere in Neverland .. retards
Perhaps they should cheat.


Like you!
Parent
you are a girl, no comments about football allowed!!!!!!
Parent
I don't get why Odoi or Hubert are in there, besides that this team actually looks good for once.
