Got to love Van Der Merwe 😄😄

I wonder if there are any current south africa FC players who could qualify for the Dutch national side?
There are dozens

This is technically not a choke.

I would say the WC has been brought back to life by AFG and now NED. Opens up the table for a few more games. And a few more upsets eg AFG knocking over SA or NZ on a rank turner and all of a sudden sides start seeing must win games.

I reckon we'll see an influx over the next year or so looking towards the Netherlands. Its literally an opportunity to get your face out there for county and even IPL deals

Any names that spring to mind? I know the SA FC scene pretty well so would be interesting to know what of them would qualify

This female Indian commentator is so shit. Embarrassingly bad actually. She doesn't have a clue what she's on about. Calling Van Meekren nothing more than a military medium bowler.

😂😂😂 most of these commentators don't actually watch the games... Be it anybody... Most of them only know about their home team.. There are very few experts who have global knowledge of all teams.

By the way Netherlands have dropped what could be an unbelievably expensive catch, that of David Miller.

6 down... This is it I guess... Coetzee can bat but you've got to believe this is a bit too much for him.

Not so sure of that. Netherlands are back to playing the associates for the next 4 years, following the scrapping of the super league. They are very unlikely to play any full members at all outside of world cups. It's a shame.
