yeah, but robben already earned himself a bad name worldwide because of diving (which of course he couldn't resist doing on sunday too). it really works against him, but he's got himself to blame.
van nistelrooij is really a finisher, not really a team player who can create his own chances. he needs to rely on feed from midfield or the wings and there just wasn't enough of that in this world cup. van der vaart either injured or not match-fit, sneijder disapointing, robben going for own glory, van persie not a really winger and on top of that a leftfooter playing on the right... the idea was that kuyt would be better in linking up midfield., but that didn't really work either. i don't think van nistelrooij would have been a good pinch-hitter though, so i agreed with keeping him on the bench late in the game. i have my hopes up for huntelaar in 2008.
