This video breaks down the history of the Netherlands and why this current team is so dangerous. #Netherlands #WorldCup2026 #FootballHistory #PedTalksSports

Bro did NOT just name johan crruyf in the same sentence as Depay 🤯
As a Dutchman, it feels like foreigners have more confidence in our current team (and coach) than we ourselves do.
We don't speak about 2010 thank you
Me: Seeing the title. Me: Looking behind my couch for any decent attacking players.
Only forward in shape is Malen at the moment. I think he deserves the spot up front at the moment over Depay.
Frenkie De Jong is underrated
Malen is on Fire
No we don’t. We have a stuborn coach problem that refuses to put the top striker in Italy at the moment and likes to play with a playedout playee that plays in Brasil. We barely play total football nowadays.
I just recently got into watching futbol (started with premier league) and discovered this channel. I love the dedication and amount of info you have on these players, getting me hyped up to watch the world cup 😁 keep up the great work
Meanwhile. the World Cup has a problem far more serious than that, related to one of the hosting nations.
Memphis depay vergelijken met Johan cruijf is schandalig
I think Gakpo will score some important goals for the Netherlands. He always shows up for the national team.
its rlly not terrifying tbh. here is why as a dutch guy -Koeman has terrible counter tactics which are easy to exploit. -we have not won against a big team in 4 years. -we use tactics not suited for our best players -Koeman does not bring potential or in form players but prefers players he knows well and likes. -Koeman has been under pressure by ziggo and clubs due to him maintaining walking football in training. there is barely any intensity. the TV broadcast was shocked this year by the level of training. -According to Koeman there is barely any dutch talent in the world "a good reasoning to put his friends in the starting XI" -we have 36 players in the premier league. 10's of players in the Bundesliga and laliga. we have insane upcoming talents in france. but Koeman prefers to bring an EMPTY Seat instead of giving someone for the future a chance to come along. Yes u name all the "big talents we have" but most of you see the guys in the starting xi with the clubs they play for. yet all of the issues above is very well known in the Netherlands. but not by you chaps it seems. SO here i am informing you :)
if Malen can bring his form to the national squad, I think the Dutch are looking good
Respectfully, at 0:12 is not Johan Cruijff, rather Rob Rensenbrink.
Not including Giovanni van Bronckhorst's goal vs Uruguay in 2010 is a crime against humanity
11:25 please use the Dutch commentary for this goal, it’s insane and brings home perfectly how great the goal was
Well we haven't had a good striker for YEARS.
Van De Ven is like when we were young and wanted to be attackers, but coach punished us by playing us in defence
The dutch NEEDS a world cup at least, for the past legacy players they've had and have
