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...)!
I think Holland is going to be a contender this year.
Van Basten has formed a real team. If they can keep it this way and don't start fighting they are gonna go a long way.
Belgium didnt qualify for the first time since 1978, so we have to root for Holland this year. [/b][/quote]I totally agree!
I also agree with Scifo; we DO have too many good attackers, but that's a luxury problem. BTW: Bergkamp is retired as international and Babel, Hasselbaink and Vennegoor of Hesselink will probably not make the selection (just as as Kluivert, our all time topscorer).
However: We also have a good and creative midfield, our defence is getting more and more solid. Perhaps Jaap Stam will change his mind after all. Plus: We have a world class keeper, a good coach and lots of fanatic, positive orange fans who live close by.
An other plus: The past two tournaments in Germany we reached the finals (WC '74 and EC '88) of which we won one
1988 in Munich!
