These are just the 10 that will make the difference throughout the tournament (also: otherwise I would have been short 2 players for you need 11 on the pitch and Van Basten is retired...)!
Yeah, but only 11 can play. So there's now way that Kuyt, Makaay, and Van the Man will have a dominant role. Only one of them can play. And they are players you cann't change after 80 minutes, they have to stay. So the only option to let them all play is: first game Ruud as attacker, next game Makaay, then Kuyt. But that is kind of silly.
