Netherlands Belarus 3 - 0 Euro 2008 Game

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is starting against Belarus tonight. Hopefully he will score a goal or two. Nigel de Jong's task today is to neutralize Belarus star Alekandr Hleb. The Hamburger SV midfielder is playing in a defensive rol in midfield

Khalid Boulahrouz has not recovered in time from an ilness and is thus not starting tonight. Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Wesley Sneijder are back in the team and are starting tonight

Despite the lack of goal chances against Luxembourg Marco van Basten is still starting with the same three forwards; Robin van Persie is playing on the right side, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar in the middle and Dirk Kuijt on the left side
