On balance Pim has done a very good job and helped us to qualify for two major tournaments. He has shared his success with his players.

The successes haven't been achieved just because of Pim but nor have they been achieved in spite of him. The same will be the case whatever the result in South Africa.

Pim is a professional results oriented coach and we could have done much much worse. In a results sense, we could have done no better. In a tactical and stylistic sense, sure, we could have done better. But I'll take results any day, or at least until we have the broad and deep talent pool of countries like Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Spain, and Italy.
