In all honesty, guys like Zenden, v Bronckhorst, and also Bosvelt, shouldn't even be in Portugal to begin with. Zenden can only run fast, but has absolutely no technical skills. He never gets passed his defender, let alone give a decent crosspass. He has been playing as a defender the last two years, because of his speed, and now all of a sudden they switch him back in the role of winger. Choices i absolutely cannot understand. There's younger, much more talented players available, but they were left at home, another incredible mistake.

I don't think we'll be seeing him again though, Overmars still has more potential in his old days than Zenden ever had. V Nistelrooy all alone up front was a mistake too, especially against a team that's afraid to go on the offensive, like Germany. Why field 4 defenders when the opponent only has one targetman ?

Advocaat has made mistake upon mistake in the last few weeks, but he doesn't seem to learn from it.
