Netherlands coach Marco van Basten shrunk his roster to 24 players on 25th May {see this}. He made his final cut on the 27th {see this}. And here is an update from the Dutch camp {see this}
On this map, I have made a couple adjustments, for better readability. I listed each position in the order of players with the most caps (rather than alphabetically). I listed each player’s name twice, so you can scroll easier. And I tried to list all the former clubs that each player played for (not just the first club or two).
The 18 biggest Dutch cities (cities with more than a 122,000 population) are listed on the map. I added two smaller cities that have prominent first division clubs, Heerenveen (pop. 42,000), and Alkmaar (pop. 94,000). **{Click here, for the list of largest cities in the Netherlands.}
The Netherlands team is in the Group of Death…Italy, France, Netherlands, and Romania. (Yikes !)
