I have Huntelaar down as top scorer, he's the top scorer in Bundesliga and gets along much better with both Robben and Sneijder, they can't stand Van Persie and don't pass the ball to him and when Huntelaar plays the Oranje are up on another level, the kid is hungry and has an amazing taste for goal.

RVP never performed for his national team as well as he does for Arsenal, where the entire team plays for him, Huntelaar has a good understanding with the rest of the Dutch team, especially Sneijder and Robben who actually serve him good assists, thing they don't do with RVP, instead of passing to him they go for the goal themselves.

There's a heated debate in the Netherlands right now on who should start and most people want Huntelaar in the first XI and Van Persie on the bench, Klaus has scored something like 12 goals during the qualification rounds, mark my words the kid is on fire.

Oh and Klose is always a safe bet for top scorer.

So much money to be made/lost in the next few weeks, wicked.

Remember that friendly against Holland a few months back? When Huntelaar came on England were overwhelmed he completely changed the pace of the game, singlehandedly, he scored a cracking goal before being injured by some English defender, I swear if you have to put money on a Dutch top scorer he's the man.

^ Chris Smalling and him cracked heads. I do remember and I agree with everything you said, he's an amazing striker. They're almost identical(not as players), same age, caps, goals but as you said Klaas played better in qualifiers. If I was manager, I would be playing both in the old Dutch system, instead of the system van Marwijk uses with the 2 hatchet helmets in the middle, 3 men behind the lone striker up front, but hey what do I know. Annoying cause they have unbelievable quality. RVP wasn't too shabby finishing 3rd behind those freaks Messi and Ronaldo in the European Golden Boot last season.

Van Marwijk already said Van Persie will start and Klaas Huntelaar on the bench in the first game so I went with him. Incredible being able to bring that much quality off the bench.

I will be doing a few more bets for sure! Decent game on here already.

Could a borefest but going for Lewandowski to score first.

I concur, they all have the same annoying head! As a UTD fan myself it was a hard one deciding who to support, hate to say it but id rather an english team won so come on chelski ! show them germans

Fuck yeah Ribery and Robben are related I swear, not only the annoying heads and punchable faces but their cockiness. Haha fuck them. Now watch Ribery destroy the England defence and Robben to lift the Euro cup

If my shop skills up to it I would have superimposed the Chelsea lion over the top of the sickle. I was going more for the Russians towering over a burnt out German city (admittedly Berlin, not Munich )

That was a quality pic actually I was a bit slow to catch on lol. Don't know why I started rambling on about capitalism in my drunken state think I was arguing politics somewhere or something. But hurray thank fuck the likes of Ribery and Robben didn't have smiles on their annoying faces. Happy for Drogba and Lampard.
