Scots beat Holland

Wales get a useful draw in Moscow too.

Could England Scotland and Wales all make it to Portugal next year? Will British clubs get banned from competing abroad for five years after if they do?

Can Portugal cope with that many British football fans?

I reckon the Welsh will make it, but I reckon Scotland will get hammered in Holland

WAAAAAAA!!!!

NOT good!
If those stupidly overpaid Dutch ballkickers don't make it through the play offs, they're going to miss a second big tournament in a row!
That's good for the Dutch reputation

Too many good players spoil the broth or something

actually your defence isn't so great these days, on paper your midfield and attack is unbelieveable.

Yeah, that is if all would want to play for what they are paid.

The problem is that they are all stubborn and arrogant individuals without any nationalism.
They get paid in Spain and England and who-knows-where. The national team is only something on the side.

Where is the honor of playing for the national team?

It sucks...

Rafael van der Vaart played (as a sub) he's some home grown dutchman

Strange Van Bronckhorst played and Seedorf (3 times European Cup Winner) was a substitute. Should have played Hasselbaink with Nistelrooy instead of Kluivert (A stubborn and arrogant individual if ever I saw one

) IMO

Indeed, indeed... Kluivert should be put on permanent reserve. Arrogant he is, definately.

Seedorf as reserve is an obvious choice, since he's proven to be an instable player in the past, regardless his gained prizes (that was more a club-achievement than an individual one).

Hasselbainck and Van Nistelrooy are good combination.
And we need to have ofcourse Van Hooijdonk.
And unfortunately Overmars doesn't seem to be in the right shape at the moment. He always was a trustworthy player...

Why is it that everybody but the coach sees how it needs to be done?

Armchair coaches me and you Arno

maybe we don't know who's injured who's got an attitude problem with player x,y,z etc

I know Nistelrooy and Bergkamp don't get on but Bergkamp wasn't in the squad I don't think.

All players x,y,z have an attitude problem

Bergkamp used to be in the squad. Things turned REALLY bad when he wasn't anymore.
At least HE knew what he was doing... He seems to be one of the very few people on the Dutch team in the past years who actually played soccer because he liked playing soccer and not because he got a sh*tload of money and was therefore more or less obligated to come.

Yep but he's the "Non flying Dutchman"

Owwell... Let's hope they come to their senses before the next play-off match.
Try to save us from more embarrassment...

One of my Danish colleages (who is obviuosly and Shakespear buff and also a soccer fan) just sent me an e-mail..
"There is something rotten in the state of Denmark!"

The English football team!

The Danes can have the friendlies. We'll win the games that matter.

Barcelona striker Patrick Kluivert has described himself as the "complete footballer"

What a c*** Kluivert is
