The Dutch were so good back than. Mostly because they were the most finally tuned players who were skilled, tight with the ball, smart with the ball, and dynamic as a team. So many great players have come out of Holland.Holland was the best side in the world from 1972 to 1980. Those were the “Clockwork Orange” teams that were the first to play “total football.” Along with the Barca sides from 2008 to 2012, they were the most fun to watch.
They had the horrible misfortune of having to play the 1974 World Cup Final against Germany in Munich and the 1978 Final against Argentina in Buenos Aires. Lost both. So, the best team doesn’t always win the World Cup.

My list of favorites:
Davids
Seedorf
Rijkaard
Gullit
Bergkamp
Van Basten
Van Pierse
And of course the best Dutch player ever Cruyff.
