That’s nice for Sneijder,
He was a great player for years. There is a player though that I feel never truly got ‘his due’ or proper International send off- Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, The ‘Hunter’ is the second all-time international goal-scorer and his playing minutes were much less than others. Am I missing something regarding Huntelaar- I think he’s one of the best to ever wear orange.
