RE: ADSactly Sports: The Greatest Players of All-Time - Who is the G.O.A.T? (Part 1)
It's actually strange that such a "curse" can hit a team like that..and for so long...I mean, considering the quality of the Dutch players in the years you mention..
Holland are currently record holders for being in the WC finals for three times, without ever winning! "The Uncrowned King".
Still saw a fantastic tournament in 2010 and enjoyed every moment of it, but one...
You will definitely get your time..Holland is great at finding and developing young future star players..we could learn a lot from that!
We're also great in not truly harvesting those developments! Oranje U17 recently won the European Championship (again), so let's see where we're at in about 6 years or so! ;-)
It was so unfortunate that they missed the World Cup this time. A rarity for sure. Where do you rank Van Nistelrooy?
He's a very good player, an intelligent, calm, and for what I can tell good person. But Holland has had a plethora of similar or arguably better strikers. E.g. Marco van Basten, Faas Wilkes, Beb Bakhuys and Abe Lenstra, to name a few.
