Here's Landon Donovan on Van Bommel:

"Oh my God, that guy's psycho, man. Honestly, I'm shocked that guy
hasn't had 15 yellow cards in this tournament. And somehow, some way
he gets away with all these little fouls that he would do in training
when I was there [Bayern Munich]. In all the games he gets away with
it."

I'll add another characteristic: acts fast. Kuyt almost always
immediately does something once he gets the ball. He does not always
make the right choice, but it does mean that he often manages to break
open a situation.

Meh.

Donovan never met Jan Wouters then. Van Bommel is a hard player, but he
is not half as dirty as Wouters ever was.
