"Ruud told me he really wants to go to the Olympics with the Under-23 team," revealed Charles Van Commenee.

Correct me if I'm wrong but is Rudd around 29 or 30? If so he's a little over the age bracket for the Dutch under 23 squad. Guess that weed from Amsterdam is as strong as they claim!Being one of 3 overage players is one thing but come on!30 is a little old for the 23 & under group.
