Dirk praised
Bert van Marwijk has praised Dirk Kuyt. The Holland boss has praised the Liverpool forward and the vital role he plays for the team ahead of tonight's World Cup semi-final against Uruguay. "I read somewhere that when Rafael Benitez picked a team at Liverpool, he wrote Kuyt's name down first. That says everything," said van Marwijk. "Every player has a period where things don't work out and Liverpool had a very tough year, but Kuyt is extremely important for us. "The way he plays shows his passion and enthusiasm, and it is catching."
