when he first became coach, i already said to everyone that he just aint a coach and he wont reach shit (i was actually surprised they went thru qualification) . He was training kids of ajax and instantly went coach of a country after that.

Van basten only has dickriders in the press, when he does something nobody questions it or asks the real thoughts behind his decision. When someone does, he doesnt answer it seriously. Reason? Because he doesnt know why, because he does everything Cruyff says. Hes the puppet of cruyff - in the most literal way possible.

I can see tomorrows papers, blaming the referee and everything else, except van basten. But the facts are that van basten left van Nistelrooij out of tonights game, substitutes average to good players instead of the bad ones like Robben and Kuit, and worst of all...... Never puts van Nistelrooij in. No, instead he puts lazy fat kid van der vaart in, and (another) worst of all - Vennegoor! What the fuck!

Van basten (read: Cruijff) single handedly destroyed the game. Not the referee, not the players. Yes there were some bad ones, but the coach decides who he substitutes and who is gonna play from the start. And he only made the wrong decisions, from the start.

I was convinced holland would defeat portugal, because i thought even van basten (read: Cruijff) wont make such bad decisions as he did tonight. I seriously didnt expect his way of dealing with this match.

But like i said, i bet nobody will talk about the huge failure van basten caused and blame it all on the referee. If anyone disagrees with this: You havent followed hollands preparation for, and play at, this world cup at all or you dont have any football knowledge. Had to get this off my chest....
