Im dutch but great video, with allot of correct details.

What all of you seem not to notice is a pretty much important fact..... spain, germany, italy, Argentinië, brazil, france, england, ..... all have a great football history like the dutch....they are just as crazy about football as the dutch.... but here is the very big difference..... they all have 50 to 200 million people living in their country..... the Netherlands 17 million.... so the other countries have a way bigger possibility to create a big talent on every position in the field, and getting some exceptional talents

Gakpo is actually a monster for Oranje scored like 6 goals in WC or EC tournament matches. Most underrated Dutch player there is.

What everyone is noticing is that Koeman is the worst coach. Memphis Depay and Wijnaldum are washed and absolutely horrible, yet get infinite chances...

Frenkie de Jong is what's missing from this team. He's very underrated by a lot of people, despite playing for Barcelona. People berate him for limited goals or assists, but look deeper and you'll see that he is the glue that makes his teams play better and more confident. He did this at Ajax, he does it at Barcelona and he would have done it for the Netherlands. Another player with a similar impact was Lasse Schöne at Ajax... or Iñesta at Barcelona, or Henderson at Liverpool.

I beleive if Franke Dejong was playing Netherlands would have beat both France and Autria

Dont you dare forget weghorst mate

I don't see Austria beating them again, nor do I see England or Switzerland beating them. Netherlands will make it to the final.

Not just Suarez, players like Romario, R9, Ibrahimovic etc. all broke onto the european scene via the eredivisie as well.

One of the reasons why the Dutch are lacking in famous attackers like we used to, is because A LOT of foreign countries are more and more playing on a counter strategy, or very compact playstyles. Meaning that if you focus on offense, you cause your defense to be much thinner and more vulnerable to counterattacks. It's one of the reasons why we failed to qualify for so many tournaments in the past 20 years: Our traditional playstyle was literally being countered by other, traditionally 'lesser' countries. Which basically forces you to adopt a similar playstyle or at least bring your own twist to it, which requires a LOT of defenders.

That the squad is spineless and Koeman is incompetent is what I'm noticing

''no matter who is one the team, the dutch fans will be cheering them on'' If you only knew dude lmao

Good video. Small note: the best foreign players to ever play in the Eredivisie: Ronaldo R9, Romario and Jari Litmanen

I appreciate you being positive about the Dutch team. Yes I agree, back then we’re great. Today we have some good players, but we’re missing winners like van Bommel, Nigel de Jong or Van Hanegem. We also don’t have world class strikers. Yes, we are lucky to be on the right side of the knockout phase, but we still have a coach (Koeman) that can ruin it all. Just my opinion😃

great video for such a small channel, great edits and research. keep it up!

If the dutch is missing one player, to make key to this current dutch national team. Its Abdelhak Nouri, go look him up, he could have been our key player. But he suffered something horrible in 2017 if i recall correctly. He could have been our new Iniesta type Player, do research in him and you will see why. But sadly he will never be able to play football ever again, his talent was incredible. Such an fantastic all round player !

You heavily underrate Gakpo! His last season at PSV, he was with no doubt the best player on the Dutch pitch. In the national team he always has a big contribution in games. Look now at the euro 2024.

An actually underrated channel. Keep it up

Good video. Missed world cup 2014 tho

Very good summary!

Thanks alot for this content, emotional rollercoaster as a Dutch football lover! Small addition, legend Zlatan played at Ajax in his young years (19yo in 2001) too :)

Gakpo is changing into a version of old Robben

I like how we have so many people acting like we're a darkhorse, when everybody in this country has zero expectations due to how crap we are. I don't think many would be surprised if we lost to Romania today.

Great video!

Wow great fact based and forecast analysis 👌

you got it spot onn ,nice reveal.

Another Dutchie here, great video. I think we can do some damage, and we are on the good side of the group. Final should be possible but we can't have a 'off-day' like against Austria. And then if we reach the final, who knows....

2010 had niemand verwacht dat we de finale zouden halen. Tuurlijk hadden we Robben, Sneijder, Stekelenburg, Gio v Bronckhorst. Maar we hadden ook een verdediging met Mathijsen, Heitinga en van der Wiel. Zeker geen slecht team, maar behoort qua kwaliteit ook niet tot de beste die we hebben gehad

Ever since Spain ripped our soul out in 2010 it's been tough to cheer for NL on an international stage. With that said, I agree with your assessment that our homegrown defensive talent is noteworthy in recent times. We've been the bridesmaid quite a lot. Tasted victory in a few WC finals and always came up short, but the reason Dutch fans are so loyal is because we're so small in scale geographically yet manage(d) to make so much noise. For the Euros, who knows? Koeman is a terrible coach that fails to utilize his best weapons, but anything is possible. A semi-finals or even finals berth is in the cards if we don't choke.

Depay and Weghorst are also beasts who can snipe extremely dangerous openings

the main issue is that we have no striker... Depay would be world class at wing or false 9, but hes being played as a striker, weghorst is too slow and wont last 90 minutes, and malen isnt the perfect striker either. Our wingers are good though, you have frimpong, gakpo, simons, depay and malen, who i see performing really well on the wing, it's just that we have 0 finishing ability

The problem is we don't have total football anymore. The players nowerdays are lazy. If you take like a player as Robben back at his age he could do more than a Simons.

Great Video, lots of accurate info in a small time frame and nice to watch. We are definitely not the favorite to win the Euro but we are definitely a dark horse :D. Lets go Dutchies! and yes we are a passionate supporter of all our sport teams! Orange till we die.

One of the best era in my opinion is when, bergkamp, Davids, Kluivert, van der sar played 👌🏼 From '98 till 2008 ish

Good assesment. We as a Nation can and only should be proud to have such a great football history while being such a small nation. And the Netherlands has great fans thst will always cheer on. Its just typical that we never find that one ingredient that makes us go all the way.

Where we stand now? We are on the brink of playing Rumania in the first ko game after losing an insane disturbing shameful match against Austria, where we finished third! We are not so good as we think we are...the team is slightly off-ballance on midfield. That's our current weakness, not being able to play pressure from midfield to attack! It takes a lot of balls to be able to feel free , let all the talent flow and play with confidence and relaxation against Rumania, tomorrow 2nd of juli 2024!!!!

Great video and you have pointed out some good facts. But when naming all our current full backs and wing backs you cannot put out Malacia there on the list and not mention Micky van de Ven. Van de Ven has been a exceptional good wingback for the spurs being called one the best players in the whole premier league. Not to forget that his physique and speed combination are out of this world. I believe he even broke the fastest sprint speed record in the premier league with an insane sprint this season.

the biggest issue is we get robbed of so many matches in the past. Where certain teams had to win certain tournaents it seem. I guess the KNVB does not do dirty money.

It might seem the talent that does comes through is more random, but (as a Ajax supporter I only speak for my own club. The main two reasons why its has become harder to develop some of the best strikers and creative midfielders is combination of legal causes and financial. In The Netherlands players aren't allowed to sign a professional contract before they are 15,5, those restrictions don't apply to other leagues, so we loose a lot that way. But the biggest reason by far is that gifted strikers, wingers and creative offensive midfielders often are plucked out of the academy before they even played one second in the first squad. Again financials, although I hate it, I cant blame these youngster for taking that bag that set up them and their families for life. Not that Ajax pays poverty wages, but financially we cant compete with the Premier League, Bundes League, La Liga & Serie A. For example the highest amount a first team player can get is about 5 million, and that is only reserved for our strong holders. That amount can me matched easily else where. Also where as first squad players in the past left when they were around 24, today even a decent to good half season as an 18 years old can be enough to leave. But this isnt a problem exclusive to Ajax, I' m pretty sure it also applies to Feijenoord and PSV and other "smaller" leagues in Europe. I almost forgot to mention that the "Bosman arrest/ruling" also has been devastating for clubs from smaller countries. But hey we are Ajax and we do our thing, which sooner or later always leads to a good European run we can be proud of. I'm sure there are plenty of clubs out there of the same size who wished they had our heritage, so a lot of us Ajax supporters do cherish those moments when ever we have a "golden' gen again. And the same could be said for the national teams, although those the world cup lost finales are national football trauma. Though if I have to choose between Ajax winning its 5th Champions League or The Netherlands winning the world cup; than I choose Ajax winning her 5th Champions League.

Im an Ajax fan but we cannot overlook PSV and Feyenoord players. Gullit, R9, Romario, van persie, Kuijt etc.

Netherlands 🌟

2:35 This is the real hate between Ned Vs Ger. Forgiving What You Can't Forget!

a note on dutch fans, give us a few beers, maybe a flugel or 2. some music and we're set, we just make a part of it.

yea nice video, but you left out the Frenkie is injured 😅

As an older Dutchman, this upload is approved.

The thing about the Netherlands doing historically poor at penalties tends to be due to the fact that they struggle with stopping penalties. They don't tend to do okay when taking them. However the Netherlands has never had an exceptional keeper, at least not at the same level as some of their strikers of old or current defenders and midfielders, even the current keeper is not known as a world-class talent, although he's been putting in decent work. Still it remains to be seen how he'll do at penalties. Also when it comes to strikers there's one name I would've loved to at least hear mentioned which is Weghorst, although he is not quite at the same level in club football as some other offensive players in the squad he has come up clutch when subbed in late in the game, most notably against Argentina, still he has not quite reached the same level of performance, though his contribution against Poland was key.

You forget the kkd (keukenkampioendivisie) By crediting only the eredivisie

Gakpo one of the best believe me

I cant believe you forgot about Abe Lenstra.

I think uou forgot to mention Zlatan as an important former Ajax player.

What about Weghorst?

Do not forget Jerdy Schouten !!!

6:18 RvN ‘was’ manager of PSV till may 2023.

Missed great players who played at PSV too.

Football nowadays is a lot based on the Dutch way of football...

❤

Frenkie de Jong joined Ajax at age 18 ..product of the Ajax youth acadamy LOL

Also Cruyff influence in Barcelona

Nice Vid, from a dutchie

I hate when foreigners think Dutch national success depends on Ajax... Most Dutch footballers come from Rotterdam anyway so.

So did anybody notice how FIFA let Argentina cheat their way through the 2022 World Championship? Messi handballing it in front of the ref.

Video is 5 days old. But frenkie de jong isnt playing this tournament

So sad Holland never developed a winning mindset. Despite having great players,they always fail in the end.

Hey I also have that bedsheet

Oh don't worry i believe this year we could reach the finals. The fans are crazy honderds of thousands fleeing in

Wat een feest. Organiseerde de Europese bevolking ook dit soort feesten tijdens W.O. 2 ?????

Depay does not deseve to be in that list at the start

you forget Tijani Reijnders !! en our hero Wout Weghorst!!

Just wait for Brain Brobbey. He is going to be a world class striker(if he gets the chance to play)

You forgot Romario and the one who came in at 17 years old at PSV. You've got the Brazilian shirt behind you😂 FYI : Groningen brought Suarez to the Netherlands and produced players lik Robben and the Koeman brothers

One error Simon’s was at PSG but Barca

Good video but the clickbait title has nothing to do with the contents

Very good analysis , thnx Greetings from Amsterdam 👍🏾

Missed an important tournament of 2014.

Frenkie de Jong is sitting at home 😢

Talking about Frenkie de jong and de ligt while they are not even in the team due to injuries...

Im soooooo scared!!😱😱😱😱😱

Ummm Van Nistelrooij left PSV over a year ago.

Imagine that at one point we had Kluivert, Van Nistelrooy, Makaay, Hasselbaink and van Hooidonk for one striker position. Now we have… Depay.

May be there is still a bit of room to change your opinion about the attacking qualities of Gakpo ? ;)

Doesn't matter how good we play, we are cursed the moment we have to take penalties. That curse will last at least another 400 years.

Please reshape your opinion on Gakpo, the best attacker we have currently

bro ignores the miracle in 2014?

Read your info about van Nistelrooij

🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱❤️❤️

The Netherlands are team players and are very unpredictable but the only team that knows the secret of the Dutch is Germany 🇩🇪 there unpredictable is no match against Germany and that is because the Germans has the exact same method as the Dutch Germany is Netherlands Kryptonite 💎

Ja bro we gaan winnen

Did you mention Zlatan at all?

we are dutch and we are good at losing EUFA :D onto another year of pain and disaster

Jaap Stam is football king

2014 we ended 3th.

I feel like Gakpo is by far the best player in the Dutch team

I like them but your crazy if you think that they are winning this year euro 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think we have a new midfielder that’s even better than de Jong. His name is Schouten.

The only thing we properly need in our starting 11 is a striker who can score goals, memphis depay is washed and more of a false 9

Lowkey think Holland can win the whole thing

You lost me at Antony

CODY GAKPOOO

Nice of you to give the dutch props. But no matter how much talent we have, I think we will always fail unless ego's start to disappear and in the finals the dutch get so nervous they forget football and start to go beast mode and make unnecessary hard tackles, fouls en stupid mistakes. We could have won against Spain in the finals, but you could see they got nervous and played really bad and hard. I turned it off at the time when I saw how they started to play and doing stupid stuff. I already knew then they would fail. I don't know why the dutch always get nervous at the highest stages...

We just delete trainer Koeman. Just give a chance to someone like Peter Bosch. At least the one who trained the 2024 dutch champions. Made more sence then the guy who never gave us a chancr cause he tries to play like its 1989
