no i meant that Steklenburg was the goalkeeper of dutch team in U20 WC  how can u have Edwin van der sar and replace him with Steklenburg 

Because Van der Sar was getting old and retiring and so on  

 

Stekelenburg wasn't bad, although of course Tim Krul absolutely stole his show forever with the epic substitute at the World Cup where Krul came in for penalties only and took the team to the semis

Actually in 2014 Cillessen was the main goalkeeper for Netherlands not Steklenburg ?

aaah the shirts.

 

I have had only two original (=non counterfeit) football shirts in my life, Argentina 98 and Holland 06 (the one with the collar, something unusual for nike).

Well that was painful to watch  

 

As exciting as watching some pre-season warm-up game in the middle of nowhere on a Wednesday morning.

the rest is still afraid , u never know if things will stay stable in countries that decided to restart some sorts of normal life generally and football specifically so maybe they're waiting to see what will happen in Germany in the upcoming few weeks  for me i'm kind of afraid that restarting those leagues now will lead to delay all kind of sport activities till a year or something hopefully it'll work out

Borussia Dortmund is apparently losing 3 million euros per match because there are no spectators.

I wonder how many millions the players have given up by now. Surely they can stay alive with a little less than hundreds of thousands of euros per month?
