Have to disagree with you on that, Holland’s problem has always been there attitude/mentality, or getting a lead and stop attacking and playing only defensively. Also, since Marco Van Basten has taken over he has not been shy to be
'out with the old and in with the new'. Yesterdays stars (all played in Euro '04) Davids, Stam (who would come back after retiring from International play, Kluivert, Zenden, Seedorf, de Boer, Bosvelt no longer are chosen, now the names of Boulahrouz, Opdam, De Cler, van Persie, Lucius, Babel and Maduro are chosen. They currently are holders of the best WCQ record, having yet to lose. Things have changed for the Dutch because a coach had the guts to come in and make wholesale changes at the risk of being criticized, and thus far he has been successful. But there's a
long way to go to standing on the podium in Germany and hoisting the Cup.....
