Will be following the fortunes of my beloved Oranje with interest. Unfortunately although we have quite a good group of emerging players in this Netherlands generation, we also have Frank do Boer who IMO is a poor tactical manager and I struggle to see him getting the best from the squad.
Some players to watch outside the well-credentialed stars in the team will be emerging 18 yo midfielder Ryan Gravenberch (if Frank gives him minutes) and Wout Weghorst - who is a a bit in the Cale Hooker mould - a big strong center forward with some passion and who was the force behind Wolfsburg’s Champions League qualification in this year’s Bundesliga.
Will probably take some individual brilliance from Memphis up-front to do any real damage if we make it out of our group. First up is Ukraine Monday morning our time.
