er is een leuk artikel over de goal van marco in de finale van de ek 88 tegen rusland [[1]]klik op het symbooltje links.... ik hoop dat he er zo oed in staat, anders linkje even kopieren en in de adres balk plakken !! groetjes silvia

I think you are talking about his superb goal against USSR in 88' European finals but you have to use English in this website. With respect, Deliogul 20:07, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV tag

I have put an NPOV tag on the manager section. I think it underrepresents the harsh criticism he has had, only mentioning the criticism on dropping RvN.Reading this article I would not get the impression that he has been cricized pretty heavily after the WC, and moreso after poor performances in the qualifications, and that he is probably the least popular manager of the Dutch team in recent history. The article does a good job in framing the criticism it does mention in an NPOV way (" has been cricicized"). I would like to see more of it framed the same way, maybe with " answers" with the few supporters hes still has(such as Cruijff) Merijn2 20:56, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Merijn. For example, there was an article by Cruyff, stating that the current Dutch players lack skills, in stead of Van Basten. However, resistance against his performance increases. Spencer 02:47, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
