Sven van Beek was injured (and Hiddink thinks he is too young anyways, I would say if you are good enough, you are old enough). Veltman from Ajax was the alternative, but he isn't very good either. So that makes you wonder why Virgil van Dijk from Celtic was not selected?Actually, talking about Bruma. I used to visit a lot of youth soccer games in Rotterdam when I was younger. So I have seen Bruma play several times. He was really impressive back than! Everyone, literally everyone (myself included), believed he would become a world class defender. But it seems like he has not improved since. By the way, at that time, his back-up was Stefan de Vrij, who was nearly sent packing because he wasn't talented enough. Ironically right now Stefan de Vrij is much better than Bruma, and a starter in the Dutch national team! Yeah, that is really stupid. They should give the players enough rest after a season.</blockquote>
