Ok maybe he won't be the centre of attention but he is likely to play centre back.
Bouma is Villa's sole representative at the tournament and will be backed by the majority of the Midlands.
The rampaging left back is likely to be utilised in a more central role for his country, giving him the chance to face Italy marksman Luca Toni.
It will be a big challenge for Bouma against one of the top contenders for the golden boot.
But, after a confidence boosting season the rounded Villa defender will be ready.
Good luck Freddie!
