Perhaps, but he did get the team to the finals of the WC, so I guess he's supposedly right. (and as a Feyenoord fan, I'm a bit of a fan of Van Marwijk as well).
I would be very happy though if he had left De Jong back home. oh well, tomorrow we're on!

Poland should be kicking themselves but in the end lucky to get a point.
However I don't think either team will be troubling the business end of the tournament - I reckon even England could turn them over.
Well done Danes!
Now the Dutch will have to win the next two games to keep in the tournament. I actually figured the Germans to win this tournament.
Perhaps van Marwijk will now finally understand that Van Persie is a shadow striker while Huntelaar is the real striker .
Both Portugal and Germany did not seem to be in their top shape. I'm glad Germany won, they deserved it (especially because of that goal early on that was discarded due to the fowl), but I thought they would have done much better than they did.
The Netherlands seem like a decent side from what I can ascertain, got to the World Cup Final two years ago if I remember, so there was a surprise today, hope they can get back into it and make some progress. Germany seem a good side, and usually do well. I have no idea who will be winners with this, I've read reports that France and Germany could be favorites so that makes a certain amount of sense
heh, I don't know much about soccer, but reading above, a member has said - 'A goal early on was not allowed due to a fowl', did a chicken run on the field and get involved ? - (think you meant 'foul') ; - )
:))
But will Spain reign today? What will they be like this tournament - can they really win three major tournaments on the bounce? They opened with a loss at the WC two years ago, if I remember correctly, actually. And will Italy have recovered from their highly disappointing WC last time out, or will they be shafted this time by the match-rigging scandal back home? Potentially fascinating tie in prospect that one.
And then it's the Irish up against Croatia tonight before we'll all watching England through our hands tomorrow (well, those of us of an Anglo-Saxon persuasion anyway). Love it when the Irish get to a tournament, love it. Come on, the boys from the Emerald Isle...! :)
While I do like the spirit of the Irish they lacked for the rest most of the necessary skills to really hurt the Croatians. ANd next up Italy & Spain, I guess they are there for target practice.
I agree. Sadly it's most likely over for them already. Spain will beat them and best against Italy would be a draw in my opinion.
You did see the match earlier this evening?- The Italians were playing football against the Spanish, they did not play their usual counterfootball. Against Ireland they have far less worries so they probably can go all out, I fear that the Irish will go home with sero points.
But then again I fear that the Dutch will suffer the same fate, zero points. After the match yesterday they lack a realistic self-image and will muddle on. If they play the same team system as they did yesterday the Germans will bury them, and rightfully imho.
