Netherlands won with 36-year olds Van Bronckhorst and Ooijer

[Somud]

Doesn't this show that we can win even without fantastic defenders too?

 

[Roger Ringpiece]

They are both 35.

Why did you use those 2 to make your point? I don't think we even have any defenders over 30 in the squad. Age isn't relevant to talent in this context.

bit of a differance, the rest of the team are good.

Holland!! I'm so happy! Party in Amsterdam! Greetz to my City friends!

Lescott, Kompany and Boateng are fantastic defenders.

Our defence is solid.

Boateng-Kompany-Lescott-New LB

With Kolo, Boyata and Bridge as back up.

It's as good as any defence in this league.

Kolo must be a starter now we have signed his brother.

Probably what clinched the deal on him coming to City so they can play together imo.

No faster way to have sulky moody players than to drop his brother.

I think the OP is saying you don't have to be that strong in every position to be successful. And he's right.

Holland vs Germany final would be immense. Biggest rivals in international football.
