BS, Cruijff was a great player but Rinus Michels invented total football. Cruijf might have brought it to Barcelona as a manager, that only allowed Michel's proper successor Van Gaal to work undisturbed at Ajax and win the Champions League with a club that was financially tiny, beating clubs with something like 10 times the spending power.

As a Dutchman I still feel the struggle the Netherlands had in 2010 when they reached the finals only to lose to Spain. I was only 12 years old than. Many people in the netherlands still believe that the goal iniesta scored was offside. Even though I'm not sure about it myself. Still. I hope our country will one the world cup at least once. Moge het koninkrijk der Nederlanden ooit zegevieren! 🇳🇱

It would be absolutely amazing if we can pull that of, but I don't see it happening :/

I don't think Iniesta was offside in 2010, but the German penalty in 1974 final was won by a clear dive, and the responsible player, Bernd Holzenbein, even admitted 20 years later that it had been a dive. So we absolutely got robbed in 1974.

[@rodrigoboffadossi6072]

1978's final was the closest one, Rob Rensenbrik almost equalised when latched onto to a headed pass from René van de Kerkhof, but the shot was kept out by the boot of Ubaldo Fillol (Argentina's Goalkeeper). After Nanninga's goal, they almost won the game in the final minutes, when Rensenbrink latched onto a long ball poking a shot past Fillol due to a bad play, but the shot bounced off the post, and the match went to extra time. Then it came Kempes magic goal (The ball bounces on Jongbloed) and at that moment the Dutch were discouraged, Bertoni's goal a few minutes later is proof of this. At one point Neeskens hit a long pass that Galvan and Passarella couldn't clear properly and the ball landed in front of Johnny Rep who was quick to kick, but Fillol made the save of the tournament, jumping almost instantly to block what was the Netherlands goal.

Cruyff is top 5 in history, helped Ajax win 3 UCL's in a row, helped Netherlands reach the WC final in 1974 and won the Golden Ball of that tournament (and still has the record for the most chances ever created at a WC), won 3 Ballon Dors (he deserved 4 as he should have won it in 1972), helped Ajax and Barcelona become big teams. He's one of the greatest dribblers, very elegant playstyle, underrated and prolific goalscorer, had no weak foot and is the greatest playmaker ever.

[@jprme7588]

Messi is the greatest playmaker lmao, like what?

[@arjanv45]

The difference between Cruyff and all the other great players was the fact he was a leader with a vision on football. Every team he went to or coached became a winning team. Even his absolutely stunning year at Feyenoord at 38 years old. Turning a very poor team in a championship winning team. He is the greatest soccer player in my view since he has had the most profound impact on the game.

Being a Dutch person, I think your analysis of the first final is totally correct. It is also the ONLY worldcup final we could have won. The final in Argentina, Cruijff resigned after mysterious circumstances and during the final, hundreds of armed soldiers were making sure no one felt safe. The final against Spain was a final of fear, but Spain knew the Fifa would grant them this title, just like the last title was also granted. Holland is just too small a country to win a worldcup final, it is not according to the way the Fifa sees itself maximizing value! Holland is not the only country like that, by the way.

As an Argentinian I got to say they made us suffer much more than the French. During the extra time I truly thought we weren't going to win the WC. I am sure it is this WC most iconic match, there was a big controversy around what Van Gaal and some players said about us before the Match. The match itself looked lke a war, and had the most cards in a WC match. And after we won, Messi told a Weghorst who had annoyed him all thoughout the match "andá' pa' allá bobo" (Go away dummy), which has already become an iconic phrase. Fortunately Emiliano Martinez, Dibu, became a Penalty Shootout national hero. In 30 years I will tell my children about him
