Permaribo, Surinam: For years, a small country in South America, a former Dutch colony, plays a vital role in developing some of the best footballers in the Netherlands, from Frank Regards and Road Glut to Clares Seedorf.
Now, about 40 years after the glam impressed Dutch in the 1988 European Championship, his only big trophy, this boot is on the other foot.
Surinam is banking on Surinami’s Dutch players to help him achieve his wild dream: When it comes to North America in June next year, booking a place in the FIFA World Cup final for the first time. “This is the nation’s dream and we hope that we will be able to fulfill that dream, in a recent interview in Surinami’s capital, Paramaribo.”
The tropical country of 600,000 people on the northeast coast of South America, ranked 137th in the world by FIFA, proudly saw when her children’s children struggled to survive “and Anja” who struggled in the late 1980s.
After failing to qualify for the World Cup of 1982 and 1986, a faulty three of the Surinamic-born-born, Gilt and Aaron Winter created a new Dutch dream team. It was not a simple journey for colorful players in the great white Dutch teams that day. Glut complained of racial abuse. But the influence of Sorenmi was tolerated.
In the 1990s, Edgar Davids’ choice helped the Netherlands to reach the semi -finals of the 1998 World Cup. Current Dutch Captain Virgin Van Dijak, who is a standout center for English Champions Liverpool, was born to a Dutch father and a Surinami mother in Dutch city Brada.
The time has come for Suriman to spend its moment in the sun. Six years ago, Surinami Daspura players were broken with a long -lasting prohibition by allowing Surinami Daspura players to join the national team six years ago in the Caribbean Nation.
Flood paths opened.
Six years later, only three of the 26 players were born in the Surinami squad.
The rest moved from Europe or Asia to play for their homeland, they have the best opportunity to reach the World Cup in the next year’s expansion tournament in the United States, with 48 teams in Canada and Mexico (more than 32). Despite living in South America, Surinam is part of the Federation of Konkakov (North, Central America and the Caribbean Association).
Like the hosts in the same group, who automatically qualify for the tournament, is a shot in the arm for Surinam.
With no competition with the co -hosts for the remaining five concussion locations, its chances of making it have increased rapidly. The team has gone to the qualifier with the PEP in its footsteps, which has helped a new crop of European Premier Leagues experienced players.
A goal from Dutch-born Jaden Montonor defeated Suriman 1-0 against Puerto Rico on June 6, and brought it to the third round of the qualifier in September. “We have made a lot of progress,” Matthera said.
He claimed, “We (41 Federation) are among the best 14 countries within Konkak. Team Assistant Coach, Roberto Godcan, who also manages SV Robin Hood, agreed that the country’s top club agreed that the World Cup route was” much easier “than in the past.
“We have a very good opportunity to qualify,” he said, “he said, giving” the arrival of Dye -Vara “to” high levels “.
Robin Hood’s only fully professional player, who is talking about transfer of foreign clubs, said he was “learning a lot from foreign -born players”. “This is just a time when the technical capacity of local players, which was combined with European strategy skills, developed a progress,” said Dadrick Small, author of a book titled “World Cup Way”.
