From the what the fuh files… After tearing ankle ligaments during their 0 - 0 draw against reigning World Cup Champions Italy, Netherlands International Robin van Persie is going the “somewhat” unconventional route and allegedly using Placenta Fluid to speed up recovery.
Arsenal have been dealt a huge injury blow with the news that star striker Robin van Persie could face several months on the sidelines after tearing his ankle ligaments on international duty.
The Dutchman was withdrawn after just 15 minutes of the Netherlands’ 0-0 draw with reigning world champions Italy, after being brought down by Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini while chasing a through ball. (more…)
Bad news for Robin van Persie and Arsenal as the Dutch striker goes down with an ankle injury. Early reports have mentioned he could be out two to three months. Arsene is not going to be happy about this one!
It’s been 20 years since the Dutch FA had a training kit sponsor other than Nationale-Nederlanden and with that the deal running it’s course, Dutch Insurance conglomerate ING Group has stepped in to pair up with the KNVB through the 2018 World Cup.
At least the color schemes make sense…
I posted about the tonal grey Nike Dunk Hi AC TZ a little earlier. Then I find this “oranje” pair that are called the Netherlands. This might be the first sneaker drop that is playing off the upcoming 2010 World Cup. Trust me when I say there are going to be a lot of sneakers and other products that will be released using the World Cup as a selling point. But I’m not mad at these. I think Nike should give these to the squad. Be kind of fresh to see a team rocking Dunks that was inspired by their country / national team.

Holland head coach Bert van Marwijk has opened up to the press and admitted that he has reached out to Manchester United’s Edwin van der Sar about coming out of International Retirement for a SECOND TIME to help the Dutch qualify for the 2010 World Cup after all three current Full Team goalies have been hit by the injury bug / drop in form.
In his prime, Patrick Kluivert was one of the absolute best strikers in Europe. Kind of sad what happened later in his career, but here is some of him at his best. And looking back, how stacked was thatDutch team in the late 1990’s. Va der Sar, Stam, the de Boer brothers, Bergkamp, Kluivert, Seedorf, Davids, Cocu and Overmars amongst others? And coached by Hiddink at the 1998 World Cup? Damn…
Wonder what kind of ban he’s gonna get… Loving the fact that he’s trying to play it off.
