Football / Re: Holland vs. Portugal
« on: June 26, 2006, 06:02:47 AM »This is quite amusing, with all the hype i usually hear about Dutch Football and their Coaches,this game just prove my point over the years that Dutch Football is not what it's made out to be.Holland stood 2 times in the finals of the WC.
When i looked at Dutch Football over the years,yes they may have had great individual players but nothing they have done has proved to me they are the powers people makes them out to be,check their record/history they are the only so called power house to have never won a World Cup there must be reasons why and one is their attitude.
The writing is on the wall for Dutch Football and they are being exposed for who and what they are,how Van Basten becomes a good Coach what has he done to prove that,not because he was a good player means he is a good Coach,Gullit still has a better track record than him,coaching is not only knowing Football but also knowing how to deal with players(Benie),everybody has been giving Sven a had time with the decisions he has been making but we can say it's luck,so far he is proving everyone wrong.
I will conclude here that i think the better team won,it's a pity Ronaldo had to leave the game else they would have suffered more.
In 1998 Brazil knocked us out by penalties.
In 2000 Italy knocked us out with Penalties.
In 1994 we had bad luck with de Goey as a goalie, 'cause we played a great match against Brazil.
Knowing how to deal players? Gullit had a hard time 'bout that.
Beenhakker had a hard time dealing with players.
Why? Because he's good as a Technical Manager and as a National team coach, but all players eventually get sick of him and he's talks.
Guus has shown the world that he's one of the best coaches ever. Cruijff did that.
Rijkaard & Ten Cate have shown with Barça what football is about.
Co Adriaanse made Porto champions with attacking and atrtactive football instead of always defending.
Louis v. Gaal won a lot of prizes and finished second this year with AZ.
And I could continue, but that would take way too much time.
The Dutch never had an attitude. They're always confident, but wouldn't you be with such great players?
v. Basten has showed us again that he's a good coach.
Without any experience he lost his first official match in 2 years yesterday.
Now I ask you, what more do you expect?
And talking about better teams yesterday, Portugal wasn't.
