This is very interesting. After the World Cup, Van Basten dropped Van Bommel and Van Nistelrooy from the squad saying they had used up their chances and that he would select better (?) players instead.
So a few matches have gone by, with useless midfields and awful play, and Van Nistelrooy decided to speak to a newspaper and tell them "Van Basten only selects players he likes, players who won't disagree with him too often"
Subsequently Van Basten denies the allegations and calls up Van Bommel this weekend for the EC qualifiers, saying "I always select the best players, and Van Bommel has been playing well for Bayern". One wonders if perhaps he called Van Bommel just to prove Van Nistelrooy wrong. Of course, conveniently, he added "There is no room in the squad for an extra striker"
But, oh, OH, Vennegoor of Hesselink and Huntelaar got injured overnight!!! That leaves TWO empty spots for STRIKERS and, as if the Devil is involved, Van Nistelrooy happens to have been scoring well in Spain AND the Champions League.
Well well well. Time to sit back, crack open a couple of beers and watch Marco sweat. Who to call, who to call...
, if hes going to score like that then Holland will be alrite
