NETHERLANDS


23 days, 17 hours to go...

No, I'm not going to do this every day...maybe every other day! This is pretty much the team Marco VanBasten has chosen. I can't put a name to some of these faces but he has chosen mostly a young team blended with some experience with Cocu, Robben, Van nistelrooy, Van Bronckhorst and Vandersar. There are 5 players from Ajax and 5 from AZ Alkmaar and a few from other Premier teams in Europe.




Here's the roster:

Goalkeepers: Edwin van der Sar (Manchester United/ENG), Maarten Stekelenburg (Ajax) and Henk Timmer (AZ Alkmaar)
Defenders: Khalid Boulahrouz (SV Hamburg/GER), Giovanni van Bronckhorst (Barcelona/ESP), Tim de Cler (AZ Alkmaar), Kew Jaliens (AZ Alkmaar), Jan Kromkamp (Liverpool/ENG), Joris Mathijsen (AZ Alkmaar), André Ooijer (PSV Eindhoven), Johnny Heitinga (Ajax)
Midfielders: Mark van Bommel (Barcelona/ESP), Phillip Cocu (PSV Eindhoven), Denny Landzaat (AZ Alkmaar), Hedwiges Maduro (Ajax), Wesley Sneijder (Ajax) and Rafael van der Vaart (SV Hamburg/GER)
Forwards: Ryan Babel (Ajax), Dirk Kuijt (Feyenoord), Ruud van Nistelrooy (Manchester United/ENG), Robin van Persie (Arsenal/ENG), Arjen Robben (Chelsea/ENG) and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink (PSV Eindhoven)

Hey Dave,
I just sent you an excel sheet for the 2006 World Cup. I guess if you type the scores in it does the points and everything for you. Try it out! Just click open and save to desktop. I can't wait either, dude!
