    Dutch Newspaper De Telegraaf reported this morning that Louis van Gaal, the national team manager, is dropping Maarten Stekelenburg(AS Roma) from the starting eleven for this evenings match against Turkey. Van Gaal is has completely overhauled his team for this match, Van der Wiel, Van der Vaart and Nigel de Jong are dropped from the squad due to their transfers last week.
    De Telegraaf says it is likely that Tim Krul will be Stekelenburg's replacement.

    Stekelenburg's a German name...may'perhaps he had previous family Luftwaffe connections....Stekelenburg sounds like a Luftwaffe pilot (Baron Von Stekelenburg...or Oberstleutnant Stekelenburg), whereas Krul, definitely sounds Dutch to me !!! Easy explanation.

    Perhaps he dropped him because when you type his name in an iPhone it auto corrects it to smelts berg ..

    Just said Cruel so as to not make it too obvious.

    First post I've seen you make that didn't just say rep, so it was worth it for that point alone.

    Rep by the way.

    Don't give up the day job.

    He was just trying to add a bit more excitement to the game. He never misses a punch.
