I don't know which is more overrated: Robin van Persie or Netherlands

I was horrified when Netherlands reached 2010 World Cup finals.

Either way, good luck to them

I've always seen the Dutch more as under-acheivers (outside of the last WC of course). I started following Holland in 2000, and ever since losing to Italy in the Euro, I've always felt they just can't seem to pull it together when it counts most...even last Euro I was thrilled when the beat France and Italy (sweet revenge!), then fail hard against Russia.
Hoping this year is different and they can make a strong showing. Really as long as they beat Portugal I'll be at least somewhat happy.

been with the Dutch since the 88 and Trio Holland era at AC Milan

sad for Marco in 92, feel bad for Dennis in 98 and dissapointed at Rvp in 2010,

but Im feeling it for this year ...

nah, Robben isn't playing well lately and every opponent knows how to play against him.
Even against Northern Ireland he had trouble getting past his marker.

The entire team has to play well to get far.
But especially RvP has to prove himself now.

I feel it's always like they can win in theory everytime, but it just never happens. I'm not gonna be too big of a fan (I never am of our national team), last time I got sucked into the hype and got disappointed a lot (failed my driving theory test the morning after aswell..). They will screw up at some point or decide to spend half the match passing the ball between their defenders and die to one counter attack.

Unfortunately this is something that has been true for almost all 'star' players of Holland the last 5-10 years.

That's why Zidane is also one of the GOAT.

Well an awful lot of his goals were spoon fed to him and he "just" finished with a well placed shot or header.
I put the quotes in there cause that's a great talent for a striker to have, not saying he's bad or anything, but he's not the kind of player that will win a game on his own when his team doesn't know what to do and are just sitting on their asses.
The dutch don't have a player like that anymore. I think their last such player was Bergkamp.
Oh, they do have rafael van der vaart which is imo top 3 world. Dunno why he's not a starter for you guys. What a shame.
My dick has shrunk to the point where it looks like I have 3 balls.

Hmm, Huntelaar is our finishing striker, Van Persie(inform, will explain that later) can definitely win a game for the team.
When Van Persie still played at Feyenoord it was like all or nothing, he was super good one game and the next game he was complete shit.
This changed abit when he came to Arsenal, with sick players around him(Gervinho, Walcott, Arteta. Sick for assists.) he developed himself to a finisher(well placed shot or header goals).
I think that if he plays a game like some he played at Feyenoord(Ofc, he is better now then at Feyenoord) he can absolutely decide a match. The only problem is that we have Van de Vaart, Sneijder, Robben and Huntelaar aswell, at Arsenal he is the Absolute star, at Oranje he isnt, maybe that counts aswell.

Point is; RvP is an absolute beast that can definitely decide a match!

Holland's whole offensive lineup is full of people who can decide matches on their own.
