Netherlands Blow the ******* team up. Fire everyone. Can't believe they've fallen so far in such a short time. RvP is a great scapegoat, but he's not the problem. There's always some *****ing behind the scenes that only France can rival, and the management can't seem to get the players' best performance on the field despite this. So Blind and Co need to go.
The defense has been horrible, when they're usually only bad enough that the offense can hide their deficiencies. With no signs of even trying to improve this, there's no chance this team makes noise in 3 years, let alone the Euro's. Blow up the backline and find decent CBs. Also a decent keeper. Give Krul the full time job; Cillesen and Zoet suck.
The layoff next summer might be the best thing to happen to the modern Dutch. It'll wash the team of old has-beens (looking at you Wesley and Robin) or old age (Robben) and give the youth a chance. There's plenty of talent coming up, and watching from the bench as the old guard get plowed next summer won't help them. But this may get them chances in friendlies or WC qualifying; at the least, the current team won't be out there desperately hanging on and being relied upon by a useless coaching staff.
The future has to happen now, and it needs a creative coach to guide it in successfully. No more hoping RvP, Robben, Huntelaar, and Sneijder can carry this team. They can't.
