I had seen the match, I completely forgot that the French had many missed chances... I just remembered the goals and the heavy score for the Netherlands.
What a team. A class. It's baffling to me how this team lost against mediocre Spain 2 years after in the world cup final. Holland has been deserving a world cup since 1974.
Zero ball knowledge 😂 2008 till 2012 is total domination from that mediocore spain team.. any other team at that time doesnt stand a chance.. they were chasing shadow of spain passing game
@@modulaoblongata2050 Other teams were worse. (Except Holland of course, who were just unlucky). That explains why a mediocre team like Spain could have "dominated" anything... Justice was served when Holland obliterated Spain in Brasil 2014.
"Bergkamp" 🙂If you can't see the difference between work horse Kuyt and Bergkamp, one of the most elegant players that graced the football pitch, maybe this is not the right job for you.
Wes Sneijder, Van Nistelroy, Robben, Van Persie, Van Der Sar, and good role players like Dirk Kuyt and Van Brockhorst - a shame this group never took home anything major
More like 2008-2011 In euro 2012 we got knocked out in the quarter finals to Spain who won that euro cup. Then in World cup 2014 we got knocked out in the quarter finals to Germany who won that one. But funny enough in our next tournament euro 2016 we lost to Portugal who won that one But 2008 and 2010 were surly our worst tournaments in recent times
What a game... just absolutely brilliant. It ended 4-1 and the Dutch played extremely well, but France also played their part and could well have equalised at points of the match. Coupet was really poor, Thuram and Gallas didn't seem to communicate particularly well. Counter attacking was a massive part of the Dutch team that tournament, I believe Russia stifled them in the quarter-finals, outplayed them too. For France, it was the beginning of the end... we all know what happened in South Africa. Robben and Van Persie, what great substitutes to bring on!
One of the best teams The netherlands had. Also one of the best coaches (van Basten) Too bad the dutch coach Hiddink (traitor) made an end to this increcibly series of wins!
The Dutch were really firing on all cylinders for the next fews years. Unfortunately for them it was at the same time as that legendary Spanish dominance. Oranje will win a World Cup and another Euro sooner or later.
@@gammonsandwich1756 Couldn’t agree more! They are more then over due for one. Blows my mind they’ve played in four finals and haven’t won a single one.
It will take some 20 years. At the moment I don´t see who could score the goals. And you need to score goals to win matches. Hmm....or the should practice penalties.
Netherlands is the best classic football nation that never won a WC. Their stats for a countries not winning a single world cup are unmatched.@@YNWA346
That goal by Robben is so heartbreaking for France lol. Within just one minute after finaly scoring the 2-1, Robben scores one back from that angle and position.
Им не везет ! Всегда есть в сборной супер игроки ! Один гудит тащил команду ! В восьмидесятые гуллит играл за всю команду . А на марадону играла вся команда ! 13:16
Big kudos to the English commentators for professionally butchering the pronunciation of the players' names. Quite funny! No Dirk is not out, he is staying on the pitch! 🙂 Got to say they did get it right with Ooijer! 👍
Belanda piala eropa 2008 pasca gantung sepatu kiper Edwin Van Der Sar asli gak ada pengganti y turnamen di atas thn 2008 kiper belanda kurang kuat jaga gawang ??
in a time that the dutch could win from france..its funny to see thierry asking for a penalty when you think about his goal against irland with his hand
