World cup squads thread

Instead of having one for every single team it will be alot handier just stick them all in one. This will be used to discuss all the squad information. The full squad, the suprise chocies and the ones left out. Peoples potential first 11 etc.

Holland 28-man pre-World Cup squad:

quote:
Goal: Edwin van der Sar (Manchester United, Eng), Maarten Stekelenburg (Ajax) en Henk Timmer (AZ)

Defense: Khalid Boulahrouz (Hamburger SV, Dui), Giovanni van Bronckhorst (Barcelona, Spa), Tim de Cler (AZ), John Heitinga (Ajax), Kew Jaliens (AZ), Jan Kromkamp (Liverpool, Eng), Joris Mathijsen (AZ), Andr� Ooijer (PSV)

Midfield: Mark van Bommel (Barcelona, Spa), Phillip Cocu (PSV), Denny Landzaat (AZ), Hedwiges Maduro (Ajax), Wesley Sneijder (Ajax), Rafael van der Vaart (Hamburger SV).

Attack: Ryan Babel (Ajax), Dirk Kuyt (Feyenoord), Robin van Persie (Arsenal, Eng), Ruud van Nistelrooy (Manchester United), Arjen Robben (Chelsea, Eng) and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink (PSV).



Bigges suprise for me is no roy Mckaay. Seems like a solid enough team. I think holland to win the world cup and RVN to finish top scorer could be a good bet.

no Seedorf either

France announces their squad Monday. Most of the teams have to announce before next week. Alot of the nations are having training/meetings this week. Italian team has practically been decided just waiting announcement. Brazil to keep the last XI they had in their last match for their first match the rest will be announced later

Hehe, great to see Van Basten takes Huntelaar with him...

He couldnt deny those 33 goals , imo he should even let him play alot too, WC topscorer with 15


Posted by chesco on May-10-2006 10:20:

That's a disgrace that he picks someone like van bronkhurst and leaves out seedorf who has had one of his best seasons in years.


Posted by The_G0dfather on May-10-2006 11:24:

You wanna bitch about van bronckhorst, i'll bitch about all those AZ players ...

and as for Seedorf, he's just fallen out of the grace of the holland squad i guess, been a few years now


Posted by fastmp3 on May-10-2006 13:45:

seriously who are all these dutch defenders ? except for boulahrouz, gio and heintinga, i don't know the rest

yeah, players who are in lesser known teams are always shit

you do realise AZ ended up 2nd in the dutch championship before the playoff? ahead of Feyenoord and well ahead of Ajax? and they reached the UEFA cup semi-finals last season?

i don't know very well the players in question either (tho i'm sure Landzaat is great, and heard of De Cler and Opdam) but i won't knock them off yet

Kronkamp is brilliant, absolute key in AZ last season, we wanted to buy him at the start of the season but Villarreal got him (then he moved to Liverpool, apparently wasn't successful in Spain). Ooijer has been a regular for PSV for quite some years now.

Fairly surprised with Makaay and Seedorf out of the squad, but as for Makaay there's plenty of top strikers in that list, very tough to leave anyone out.

btw, best thing would be for the first post in the thread to be regularly updated as the squads come out

I see alot of Dutch football every week so yes i know what AZ managed to do last year with Van Gaal in the UEFA Cup, and that they've had two very good seasons in a row now.

But personally i just dont like to see those players in the Dutch squad. I guess i'm dreaming of 'better' days with De Boer at the back giving that brilliant long pass towards Bergkamp against Argentina.

Maybe by seeing them play for the national squad i'll learn to like them but atm ... nope

yeah that guy needs to lok over his team because seedorf

has had one of his better seasons and it is a shame that he got left out

Seedorf has been struggling for the XI for Milan this year but he is still better than some of those players he called up.

Also its the 28 called to train not the finale squad

+1 of Porto Power boys comments Kromkamp is nice.

He is always misled.

But come on people, give some respect to the US squad. They made it to the WC, something other national teams didn't do. Hello fastmp3. Hey Eddie.

Sure they suck and their game is boring. But let's remember how they performed four years ago. They kicked Mexico's butt. I'm never going to get over that.

I wouldn't be surprised if that list of players made it to the second round of the tournament. Well, that's not entirely true, I would be a bit surprised.


Posted by fastmp3 on May-10-2006 21:04:

is there a possibility mexico and usa could face each other ?

I hope not. I would have to check on that predictions site on BBC. Too much hassle to predict all the scores though.
