I would have him in my team any day of the week. Its one thing every top team needs...a natural goal scorer. Whether he is playing well or poorly he has that ability to get the ball in the back of the net. Not making the Netherlands squad for this World Cup. I can see why he would give the international game up, by the time the next Euro Championships come around a few of the fringe players would have cemented their place in the squad by then.

Would have liked to have seen him in the squad, as I love watching the Dutch, but the manager has gone with a different option and hopefully they do well.

End of an era really.


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Van Nistelrooy: Holland Career Is Over?
HAMBURG striker Ruud van Nistelrooy feels his international career is over after he was left out of the Holland squad for the World Cup.

Have your say.
