We have a similar doubtful situation. The national topscorer, Huntelaar, might not even be selected for this edition. He's by far our most versatile striker, and can score from virtually any position on the pitch out of the most unexpected situations. But for some reason, the coach keeps hanging on to van Nistelrooy as the number 1 striker, even when he's not performing to his usual standards. He's not even a certain starter at ManU anymore, and what's more, i think his days at Old Trafford are numbered after another argument with that dickhead Ferguson, so his future is uncertain at this moment. As a backup for van Nistelrooy, we'll probably take PSV's Vennegoor along, only because he's strong and tall, but that's just about everything he is, it's no goalgetter like Huntelaar.
Sometimes football doesn't make any sense to me.
