I thought Dirk had always played very well for the Dutch squad though?
Maybe 4 years ago. My gripe with him is that 1. He hasn't played enough. 2. There are better Dutch players in that position. 3. There is no end product (be it a goal or an assist). Hard work only gets you so far and the level of the team is so much higher than his that it's kind of embarrassing to watch him struggle to keep up.
