VAN BOMMEL IS NEW DUTCH CAPTAIN
Bert van Marwijk has named Mark van Bommel as the new Netherlands captain. Van Bommel, 33, succeeds Giovanni van Bronckhorst, who retired after the World Cup. "We discussed it with the technical staff for a while before making our decision," Van Marwijk said. "Mark is the correct age and the right position for that. He has done the job in the past for PSV Eindhoven and now for FC Bayern München." (Photo: Getty Images)
