Today Wesley Sneijder, one of Inter's 'triplete' heroes, turns 33

The Dutch Sniper Today Wesley Sneijder, one of Inter's 'triplete' heroes, turns 33

 

An amazing career, a ton of silverware and a beautiful wife, that is always a good thing to have. In Wesley Sneijder's golden world - he turns 33 today - there's probably space for just one, big regret. That final in South Africa, in 2010, lost at the extra time against Spain, when his Holland was so close to lifting the most important trophy of all.

Even so, Sneijder can't complain about a career without trophies, as he won (among other) the Eredivisie with Ajax, the Liga with Real Madrid and the 'triplete' realized in the amazing season with Mourinho's Inter. Even when he moved to Turkey, Wes never stopped to win, even if he stayed away from the spotlights of the biggest European championships. Thirty-three years lived with the right foot hot as hell.
