For the World Cup in 2010, the Netherlands are a team not to mess with. Their attacking lineups are superior, and the 'total football' style of play present an awesome tactical side to the team. The many strengths for the Netherlands include the star players, such as Arjen Robben, who is can get through almost any defense, or Robin van Persie, who was injured most of the year but otherwise is an awesome attacker. Wesley Sneijder has a reputation to be a goal scoring midfielder, for the Amsterdam Club he made 43 goals in 126 games. In the European Cup in 2008, Wesley was named in the Team of the Tournament. Also, Arjen Robben, a midfielder, is able to defeat any defense. Robben made 4 assists and 1 goal in qualifying, which makes him a shoe-in for a spot on the Netherlands team. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, a fearsome striker for the Netherlands, he is also very good in air, he was named top scorer in the 2006 UEFA Under - 21 Division. Mark van Bommel and Nigel de Jong, who are defensive midfielders also help the team as well. The whole team is determined to win the Cup, after being beaten by Germany in 1974 and Argentina in 1978. According to SPI, the Netherlands has the sixth best attack but a the third best defense. The discipline that is obviously practiced by the whole team is sure to help them out in the future. The Orange team is going to be a huge power team for the World Cup.
That is cool that they seem to have a good an pretty outstanding team put together. They seem to be working hard and from this post I am expecting them to do fairly well in the World Cup Tournament.
ReplyDelete32 years is a long time to wait to play in a championship game! Sounds like they are ready to take on the challenge of winning the World Cup! I am very confident with their chances of going all the way.
ReplyDeleteThey seem super determined and that's half the battle, so if they work hard and play well I think they have a good chance at winning the world cup. Though there are a lot of countries who are much better as far as the performance by the players, I think that the Netherlands' desire to win will push them far into the competition.
