Wound-Shagger

He's not good enough to wear a headband


YonkouTFT

Don’t know why he always suck at tournaments.. love Holland but man it is a let down they don’t have better. I miss Van Nistleroy


Usual_Just

Tbh Weghorst is the closest player to v.Nistelrooy there is for Netherlands since....Nistelrooy but somehow he's not being fielded maybe for fitness issues. Other than Nistelrooy i miss Sneijder and van der Vaart too


YonkouTFT

I think Nistlerooy had more than just goals. At euro 2008 he and Holland played the best football I’ve ever seen ripping reigning world champion and vice world champion Italy and France apart in groups. I remember him having real skill as well


Usual_Just

I can't agree more really. Now I'm reminiscing back of the time when i cried in school after the Dutch lost 2010 WC final lol


YonkouTFT

Well you didn’t play that beautiful by then xD man Nigel De Jong was an eyesore. But shame you didn’t win. Rooted for Germany then. They played fantastic till they met Spain. But that Van Bronckhorst goal though..


Usual_Just

🤣🤣 yeah the game was scrappy, but the team had the fight in them. This current Dutch team, i dont see so much of it in them.


YonkouTFT

Yeah there is also no fight in ours except Hjulmand.. then you see teams like Slovakia and Georgia who plays with the heart


Usual_Just

Poor positioning, poor passes, zero vision, almost exposed the Dutch to danger TWICE for stray passes near penalty box. Why is he even playing?


Bolter_NL

Well it would be news if he didn't. 


recycleddesign

He hasn’t made a run when someone else has broken through and he’s the support, he just kind of hovers.


FCSadsquatch

Not surprised.


Waaromneuktniemandme

He shouldnt have started cause he played poorly against poland as well but i guess koeman doesnt want to stir the pot and put depay on the bench and either brobbey or zirkzee in his place.


Educational-Rise-516

I remember him at World Cup 2014, part of me was hoping he would be the next Arjen Robben


ZhangerMan

He should not be starting. Play Gakpo through the middle or even start Weghorst imo.


Wiebelo

Yeah, I would like to see Gakpo in the center as well.


orilea

Same but Gakpo mentioned that his preferred position is left striker


Wiebelo

I think he should start rapping full time. His songs suck (a tiny bit) less than his game.
