RE: The Context Of: The two rules and revenues changes that destroyed the Netherlands

in Sports Talk Social3 years ago

The dutches are a strong team, but crucially unlucky, maybe in the history of centennial soccer game.
Yeah,as you said,the memory of 2014 semi defeat in the tie-break and before that, Van Persie and Robben,I miss those two legends.
They are so great!!! Wish they could play again in national side.But,anyway hope Netherland would do better this year.

The point isn't exactly about whether they'd win or not. But rather about how their style has also diminished along with their results as well as their clubs merely serving as talents factories for other clubs.

Van Persie, Robben, and I would even add Wesley Sneijder were legends of that era. However, the style of football just wasn't what the Dutch were historically all about.
