It's not *always* bad to stick with the old guard, but the coach messed it up. Did Kluivert get off the bench at all in the tournament? Why not at least bring someone of his talent and experience off the bench when you're down and needing to score?

The D missed their coverage on the first goal (Ronaldo's header off the corner). Might have been keeper's ball. Not much anyone could do about Figo's screamer off the post (it was Figo, right? I was flipping channels like a doofus). He played like a captain and go-to guy.
Nope, Kluivert is a closed book, at least under this coach he is. Let's face it, v.Nistelrooy scores more than 20 goals in the British premiership, Makaay scores more than 20 in the German bundesliga, Kluivert has been a benchplayer most of the season with Barcelona. Who would you choose ?
