No names, journeymen and EPL has beens. Yet they will probably still make the quarters. How is that possible?

They're especially weak at the back. Very average goalies. Andre Ooijer?

The only player (I think) that would make it into the England squad is Nigel de Jong. They could actually really use a player of his style.

Sander Boschker, Maarten Stekelenburg (Ajax), Piet Velthuizen (Vitesse), Michel Vorm; Khalid Boulahrouz (Stuttgart), Joris Mathijsen (Hamburg), Andre Ooijer, Giovanni van Bronckhorst (Feyenoord), Gregory van der Wiel (Ajax), Ron Vlaar (Feyenoord); Ibrahim Afellay, Vurnon Anita (Ajax), Otman Bakkal (PSV Eindhoven), Edson Braafheid (Celtic), Wout Brama, Demy de Zeeuw (Ajax), Orlando Engelaar, John Heitinga (Everton), Nigel de Jong (Manchester City), Stijn Schaars, David Mendes da Silva (AZ Alkmaar); Ryan Babel (Liverpool), Eljero Elia (Hamburg), Dirk Kuyt (Liverpool), Robin van Persie (Arsenal), Jeremain Lens.

EDIT: This has to be a vveeerrryyyy "provisional" squad. Where are Huntelaar, van der vaart, van Robben,

I think I read somewhere that players still in the Champions league (Sneijder and Robben) were being left out for that reason.

Not sure about Huntelaar.

Van der Vaart was injured in the latest Real Madrid game (or the one before, I'm quite sure, but very recently) so that's why he's been left out
