Dutch and The World Cup

Dutch will remain as the best team not win a world cup. They like it that way i guess. Johan Cruyff is regarded as the master of total football, the dutch team in 1974 is regarded as one of the best teams and they taught the world how to play total football. They were the favourites to win the world cup, but lost to West Germany.

Then the ear of van basten, Rijkaard, Gullit they won almost everything, europion championship, euro cup, league title except the ultimate prize THE WORLD CUP. They lost in the shoot outs.

Dutch are their own enemies. Robben and Van persie were playing like kids who want to get noticed by big clubs and earn money. They played some excellent selfish game. They will remain kids of the big game. Who know only to show some flashy skills and impress the managers. But don't know to cross the ball.

Portugal displayed some excellent football(team game), how to play as a compact unit and win games. Winning is important, its the only thing. Ultimately fairplay, sportmanship and skills will not go into the history books. Only the score will go in to the books.
