I love this man too much.



(video from Sarah Louise, thank you!)

Edwin van der Sar was made an Officer of Oranje-Nassau (i.e. knighted) today in an Oranje farewell ceremony before Holland's match vs. Hungary. He also sang the national anthem with the team after thanking the fans and his family and wishing the Oranje well in South Africa.

(I cried during most of this. Obviously. *is still sniffling*)









Holland also defeated Hungary 6-1 today in a friendly. Which is the good news.

The bad news is this: Arjen Robben injured himself. He's not flying to South Africa tonight with the rest of the team. He will have tests - sometime soon - and then the medical staff will decide whether he's fit for the World Cup.

It is PRAYER CIRCLE TIME *NOW.*

awww van der saar's so cute.

MASSIVE PRAYER CIRCLES FOR EVERY TEAM.

Since Germany "lost" so many players in the last weeks I think it's only fair to request that every team has to have an injured player (or two)

haha awwww

his kids are always so cute

can anyone translate a gist of his speech?

[info]aka_centimetre2

June 5 2010, 17:49:03 UTC 1 year ago

I'm not very good at Dutch, but I believe his main gist is: "It's been wonderful to play all these years with the team and for you great fans in Switzerland (08), in Germany (06), in France (98); I wish you the best of luck for this year's World Cup; I also want to specially thank my family and friends;" (this is where he gets choked up, and he mentions his wife, though I'm not sure in what context); "Thank you and goodbye."

BE OKAY ARJEN!

UGH I hope Robben's okay. I'm trying to figure out if this is a captain's curse or a Chelsea curse since a lot of these players that have been injured either play for Chelsea or in this case, played for Chelsea.

I have all my fingers and toes crossed that he's not out of the World Cup. He had an amazing season with Bayern and he deserves nothing more than going to SA goddamn! It's really beginning to piss me off, I want every nation to play at their best and now all those players are going down like flies :( fuck this

Van Der Sar! <3 I'm going to miss seeing him out there between the posts so much. So classy, so brilliant, and my first Oranje love.

Well wished for Robben to be back asap as well!

Edwin I love you so much, I am crying even though I cant understand anything that is being said :)

I am praying for all the injured players, I want this world cup to be epic!

Oh! I've already seen this speech like 6 times today and I still cry everytime I see it! We have had some pretty fierce GK's at the national team, but Edwin was a legend both on and off the pitch... I love him! And the 'I-love-you' part was... *tearing up again*.. so touching... He really deserved to have a farewell this classy!!

As for Robben: I just read somewhere it isn't looking good.. that there almost certainly is a rupture in one of his hamstrings... which would mean a 4 - 6 week recovery...!! I would say: don't call for someone else, because every match he can play would be a gift really...

When I look at the way we played today (and tuesday) I have to say: I have never seen a Dutch NT like this, like I actually have the feeling we can win this thing!! Bring on the World Cup!!
