And let's think:
The Netherlands' youth system and winning Euro 2006 U-21s :tup: (OK, that didn't do much for Portugal, but...)
Klaas Jan Huntelaar :tup: :tup:
I think the future holds promise for the Orange there, Erik.
But if Donadoni earns the faith of his players, which I fully expect him to do, and support from management, officials, and fans based on performance, I think it's still Donadoni's job to lose before the next WC.
Wow. All due props to him. But surprising, given his lack of experience. (Though that didn't stop Klinsmann...)
