champions, again.

so, the class of 2007 has repeated the feat of 2006. U21 european champions. despite having a team of lesser talent. we blitzed serbia 4-1. and i think it was a very good scoreline, although i didnt really expect it, considering that they were saying serbia were very strong, and we weren't as good as last year's team. but i think 4-1 tells you alot about this team.

amidst the euphoria, i can't help but wonder, which amongst them would be the next superstar, a la van basten, gullit, bergkamp etc? maybe maduro and babel. what of the others? drenthe? vlaar? bakkal? rigters? de ridder?

we might have won it. but it does not say that we have the most promising youngsters in europe. just that the team we sent was hardworking, organised, and tactically sound. but maybe there aren't really any outstanding individuals.

which is sad, because it shows we don't really have a wonderkid.
