The Dutch squad:

Goalkeepers: Edwin van der Sar; Henk Timmer; Maarten Stekelenburg

Defenders: Khalid Boulahrouz; Giovanni van Bronckhorst; Tim de Cler; Kew Jaliens; Jan Kromkamp; Joris Mathijsen; Mario Melchiot; Andre Ooijer; Civard Sprockel; Wilfred Bouma; Urby Emanuelson; John Heitinga; Evander Sno

Remarkably, Seedorf refused to play for the dutch team. He doesn't agree with Van Basten. Also he wont join the Olympic squad.

Theo Jansen and Sprockel play both at vitesse, 12th place in the league.

Evander Sno was active as a striker for the Dutch u-21 team, and he was quite good at it! While it is really a defender.

Klass Jan Huntelaar Should Be 1st Choice with Ruud in Dutch Squad.

 

[Zenitka]

well isn't this surprise...a 3 stars of the team ...

but Fredrik Ljungberg is the best!

 

[spellbound]

but Fredrik Ljungberg is the best!

And probably the most injured as well

 

[Zenitka]

And probably the most injured as well

He cant play?

 

[Bartmu]

Klass Jan Huntelaar Should Be 1st Choice with Ruud in Dutch Squad.

It's either RvN or Huntelaar imo. They're similiar players i think. Definately want to see vd Vaart, Sneijder and v. Persie in the starting line-up.

 

[spellbound]

He is cant play?

Freddie have had more injuries then Ronaldo scored goals...well almost anyway The physio say he'll be fit for the first game on June 7th. But he's been very injury prone this last few seasons. The only thing who keep him going is his iron will.

Im delighted that Larsson is in the Swedish squad. It will be his 3rd international
comeback and he is still going strong. What a player and what a legend.

Portugals squad:

Goalies: Ricardo, Real Betis, Quim, Benfica, Rui Patricio, Sporting Lissabon.

Defence: Jose Bosingwa, (ex Porto) Chelsea, Ricardo Carvalho, Chelsea, Paulo Ferreira, Chelsea, Pepe, Real Madrid, Bruno Alves, Porto, Fernando Meira, Stuttgart, Miguel, Valencia, Jorge Ribeiro, Boavista.

Midfield and attackers: Petit, Benfica, Miguel Veloso, Sporting Lissabon, Joao Moutinho, do, Raul Meireles, Porto, Deco, Barcelona, Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United, Nani, Manchester United, Ricardo Quaresma, Porto, Simao Sabrosa, Atletico Madrid, Nuno Gomes, Benfica, Hugo Almeida, Werder Bremen, Helder Postiga, Panathinaikos.

I think the strikers of Portugal looks very cheap. They will rely too much on Ronaldo and the other offensive midfielders to creat goals. Not my winner really.
