Now, heading into the 2026 FIFA World Cup, they once again look capable of going far. This video breaks down the history of the Netherlands and why this current team is so dangerous. #Netherlands #WorldCup2026 #FootballHistory #PedTalksSports

Great to see people can be positive about our players. When you watch football media here in NL its ALWAYS negative cant even praise anyone when they make beautiful goals. Yet this year it feels different also less orange flags and World Cup fever people just lost trust in our team here and its understandable we wont have it easy!
That body check at 13:00 bowled that Argentine perfectly.
I'm from Texas, my dad is a Dutch immigrant. We're going to Houston to watch them play, so stoked.
virgil is the best defender we've had in ages ❤ too bad it comes at a time where depay is the best we've got as a striker
Malen is in amazing form right now
Awesome video thnx Ped. ps nickname for van Persie after his Iconic goal against the world champion Spain => The flying Dutchman
I'm not a big soccer guy, I don't keep up with the clubs and their rivalries/competitions. But when we play as THE NETHERLANDS, I watch every match with pleasure. One united 11 man squad!😊
I've always enjoyed watching Gakpo.
u seen the ticket prices imagine that plus the flight etc etc... People can't afford even to go there anymore. Its not about football anymore its all about money and its just sad.
In the Netherlands they see a decline in the team.. not the same as mentioned here
Vd Ven or hato are the lb
Ake ... Important in the dressing room 😂
We staan d’r weer goed op boys!
1:00 EXCUSE ME????😂
Fantastic video, love the respect thats out there. You forgot our Phoenix Malen who is in incredible form.
you hit the nail on the hammer bro, this is good!
I still dream we win for once, but I don't have any hopes we would ever do so. As all players are good individually, they can't teamwork at all and that's extremely important in football.
Why are YouTubers milking this title😅
Talking about Cruijff and then show Rensenbrink, major bummer.
I'd even say they got screwed in 2022. As early as the second minute Fernandez had already bodychecked Gakpo unprovoked with the ball nowhere near. That set the tone for the match where the refereeing should have been much more strict.
