Holland outstanding addition to squad
SO, the Dutch aren’t at this World Cup. Until Saturday, you wouldn’t have known. In-fighting, a player storming out then thrown out, player power, manager under pressure — everything you would associate with Holland at a major championship was evident.
A tournament tradition has always been the Orange soap opera, the public taking great delight in watching a talented bunch of players self-destruct, rendering them incapable of being contenders. Mix a little stroppy Dutch with happy-go-little Irish.
