Portugal and France through 
Now, go USA and go Ecuador!

Switzerland are usually shit against prominent football countries.
Yeah, i am a cnutYou should be very ashamed man
Feck no play off, direct qualification doesn't taste as good. Now that we don't go to the play off, Bosnia misses it it
Agreed, France and Portugal are supposed to struggle during qualifiers. That's how football has been created.
You know it man. It feels strange.
Robben walking with his kids on the field.. he is retiring from our national team. Lost our last world class player

He deserved better. Still an amazing international career. What did I do?There would be no proper World Cup without the champions of Europe...
5th World Cup finals in a row now let's hope for an easier draw than the last 2 World Cups

Guess you are even more fecked now.Robben walking with his kids on the field.. he is retiring from our national team. Lost our last world class player
Holland without Robben...fecked or not?
You spoke french
Maybe Memphis can step up. he was going to be our next world class winger... oh never mind, we are fecked
You might become a new Andorra nowMaybe Memphis can step up. he was going to be our next world class winger... oh never mind, we are fecked
Robben is by far the best Dutch player of a generation which made a World Cup final. How close does he get to the all time Dutch XI?
I'd go for:
Reckon there are plenty who would call for Gullit or Seedorf over Bergkamp or Robben to give more balance in midfield but feck it - with the ball playing ability of those defenders I'd want both of them up front!

I want Greece. The others are tricky.

Jesus that teams depressing compared to the dross they got now.
You associate Holland with skilful flair players and deadly finishers. They have neither.
Who?
Fernando Santos "No promises for the WC" i expected another Santos special prediction

My friend might be joking though

I believe that was for Lyon.. he also put his fingers in his ears after scoring because he wasnt happy with the Lyon fans saying negative things about him.
Why have they turned on him? Not performing good enough?
Tricky teams to get. Italy, Switzerland, Denmark and Croatia are all strong teams at roughly the same level. I would probably prefer Switzerland right now. They have the least scary individual players and not fantastic form.
Italy don't look that great right now although you still would want to avoid them no doubt.

Maybe he is driving more cars than scoring goals
Yes. But tonight he showed again that he can still make the difference - the ones that called him old...
Can show that now 100% for his club
Feel sorry for Robben to end his international career with such a disappointment. Netherlands are pretty much more and more fecked for the coming years now.
I don't think it has declined, if anything it has become more competitive with the rise of other nations. Nowadays every other nation has some top player with them . But I agree I miss the 2000 to 2006 era too.
No, they won because I only arrived now, because if I was watching they would not win
He took Greece to the quarters in Euro 2012 and last 16 in WC 2014, even if I don't like his concept of football.
Drop Bergkamp, push Cruyff up, play Keizer left?Robben is by far the best Dutch player of a generation which made a World Cup final. How close does he get to the all time Dutch XI?

They've had some players though? ..... "had" being the operative word.
Neeskens?
Why the feck did you chose a back 5 with de Boer and Suurbier, benching Gullit, Neeskens etc? Play 3 at the back, Krol and Stam with their experience as covering CBs, Koeman/Rijkaard as a proven duo (1988)Robben is by far the best Dutch player of a generation which made a World Cup final.
