Really? From the team that played today only van der Vaart, Mathijsen and Stekelenberg will be 31+ at the next WC. While most of the key players will be 29/30 that's hardly going to rule them out of being a factor in the next two years. The only players who I'd see dropping out for the qualification for sure are van Bommel and Bouma. Also Mathijsen, Kuyt and Boulahrouz are unlikely to see the next WC (if Oranje qualify). Everyone else in the squad is young enough to get there. Whether they've been replaced by better players is a different story.Orange14 schreef: Whether or not BvM is retained and he certainly has to assume part of the blame here, there will be a rebuilding job ahead. It's difficult to see more that 3-4 players from this current team remaining a factor in the qualifying up to the next WC. One hopes that there will be some announced retirements rather than carrying on after their skills are no longer with them.
so, now he's one from three. I'm interested to hear his prediction for WC qualifying...Orange14 schreef:Ko was correct about the outcome of the group!! Three cheers!
