Ronald Koeman’s Netherlands World Cup squad draws criticism from former players

Coach Ronald Koeman announced the Netherlands' final World Cup roster, selecting Guus Til and Crysencio Summerville while leaving out right‑winger Jeremie Frimpong. Former Dutch internationals offered their reactions. Analyst Theo Janssen praised Summerville’s speed, strength and ability to play on both flanks, calling him a logical addition, and described Til as a “weapon” with good timing for deep runs. Former midfielders Rafael van der Vaart and Wesley Sneijder expressed disappointment, saying they would have preferred the younger Kees Smit for the tournament to gain experience, and questioned Til’s midfield role despite his successful season as a striker at PSV.
