VDV 1 Cap away from 100, and it looks like he aint allowed to get it

Holland showed England boss Hodgson the way to freshen up a squad by last night ditching Rafa van der Vaart, Dirk Kuyt and Johnny Heitinga from international football.

A leaked document from the Dutch FA revealed the shock news that the three Premier League stars had been banished by boss Bert van Maarwijk.

Striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, who scored 12 goals in qualifying, has also been dumped according to Van Maarwijk’s post-tournament report following a disastrous Euro 2012 campaign.

The 2010 World Cup finalists crashed out after failing to get a point in Group B, sparking an angry reaction back home.

Van Maarwijk’s job is safe having signed a four-year deal just before the Euros.

But this leak has sparked yet more controversy, especially as Tottenham star Van der Vaart has 99 caps and will be denied the honour of making a century of international appearances.
