Football's tragic character. Should've had many world cups and at least 2 euros by now. I fear their appointed time is now behind them. Other countries caught up and surpassed them tactically; Holland in the 21st century is a very sophisticated, prosperous country where football is the bread and circus of low class rotterdammers, limburgers, blacks and immigrants. It will take a Surinamese Messi from the Randstad to carry them to eternal glory; otherwise, they will end up in the dustbin of history with the likes of Hungary, Uruguay and Czechoslovakia.
Cruyff is my goat
Our NT finna be hypercarried by the FC Groningen core Van Bergen - Land - Blokzijl
>>157862695Litmanen is the GOAT of many Ajax fans!
>>157862711I know a guy who's named after him
2010 broke me
>>1578627272010 was their last shot at the WC. I wonder how things would've gone if it wasn't for Van Marwijk's shithousery; that said, it came one Casillas toe away from winning it. 2014 was a great run too but Holland had a boulevard to the semis and the squad was very limited beyond VP/Robben/Sneijder and it showed against Argentina.
>>157862615>should have many World CupsLike which?Also, please be less mean to Limburg
>>15786280974 stopped playing after scoring first78 rigged 90 if Michels didn't prevent Cruyff from becoming the manager 98
>>157862853So they choked 74, 90 is just a what-if, and 98 is in there just becauseLikewise, Brazilians, Germans, Italians could say they should have 8 or something
>>157862896>90 is just a what-ifWrecked team morale, they were European champions, they brought in some improvising manager and there were many off the pitch issues in that squad which I blame on the KNVB not selecting Cruyff who was one of the best managers at that moment, it matters>98I dont see the issue, they were good enough to win it all and they certainly wouldn't have been crushed by France in the final like Brazil was. They outplayed Brazil in that semi final but they choked on penalties as usual.
>>157862923There's no real issue, but you have to see how desperate and subjective this looksLet me tryGermany should have won 1934 because it was a close call and Hohmann, a crucial striker, had been injured. Also because Italy rigged it, so basically Germany vs. Czechoslovakia was the finalGermany should have won 1938 because that team was super stacked on paper, just couldn't develop chemistry in time because of the Anschluss being so recentGermany should have won 1966 because, well, it's fairly obviousGermany should have won 1970 because the game against italy was a literal cointoss, they had the hardest path to the final imaginableGermany should have won 1978 because Müller shouldn't have retired from the national team after 1974. That could have changed everythingGermany should have won 1982 because they were European champions, Jupp Derwall commited a crucial tactical error as the manager, and because they had the upper hand until the first goalI'm going to throw in 1986 just because. It was a very close game and Rummenigge wasn't fully fitI guess I could make a point for 1994 and 1998 because of some manager althis scenarios2002 would have been deserved because Kahn made an unfortunate mistake in the final2006 would have been deserved because it was a home tournament and because Germany, Italy, and France were very obviously very evenly matched, also because Frings had been suspended for the semifinal by butthurt Argentinians intervening2010 would have been deserved because Ballack had been injured and because Müller had been suspended for no good reason, so he missed the semifinalI won't even try to defend the steaming piles of shit that were 2018, 2022, and 2026, thoughThere you go, Germany are the tragic heroes of football
>it's the canadian larping as a Dutch againYou will never be Dutch, be accepted as one or be taken seriously by any one of us. No matter how much or how long you pontificate about blood, roots or lineage.Reminder that I'm onto you buddy.
>>157863067Germany got exposed in the post VAR era
>>157863310Mostly turned retarded and weakmind, but yes
>>157862923they got unlucky in 98 to face this beast
>>157862615F
>>157863067Apart from 1966 none of that compares to the tragic neglect of 1974 (without wanting to discredit 74 Germany, who had one of the best XI of all time), the rigged final of 1978 and the 1988 golden generation asking for Cruyff in the WC only to be cucked out by the KNVB. Also Germany already has tons of silverware and is the most populated country in Europe, it doesn't feel as dramatic as small, plucky Holland innovating so much only to miss out in the most incredible ways possible
>>157863458Underrated in the GOAT GK conversation
98 blatant rig in extra time where van hooydonk should have had a benultie
Is there still hope for white dutch players? Or will it be endless ngubii?
>>157862615More like footballs comic relief character
