Nov 08 - Rudd Gulitt is re-surfacing again, but on the other side of the Atlantic. He joins LA Galaxy as their new head coach.

Oct 18 - The Oranje is on track to finish second in the group and will get a chance to qualify in the playoff. At least we still have a chance.

Jan 07 - Happy New Year! Another year, and a clean start. 2007 is the qualifying year, the only goal is to get into Euro 2008! Best of luck, Oranje!

June 26 - This is probably the biggest disappointment! It was a winnable game, the only difference was they finished their chances, and we didn't. It was such a shame to exit in such a horrible fashion!

June 21 - As everyone could predicted imagine, the game ended in a tie. Now the real games begin!

June 16 - Well, it was another close call, but we'll take it. That was some freekick by Van Persie! And we are through to the next round!

June 13 - After every team played the first game, the Dutch coaches are the proudest bunch! They (Australia - Guus Hiddink, South korea - Dick Advocaat and Netherlands - Marco Van Basten) all get a win, and even though Trinidad and Tobago (Leo Beenhakker) could only manage a tie, but that should be an outstanding result for a team playing their very first WC finals! Cheers!

May 24 - I was approached by a publisher wanting to use my Oranje story for a book targeted for this year's world cup. Only to be cancelled in the last moment. Anyway, here is the story, I called it "My Oranje Story (32nd anniversary edition)."
