	Rob Rensenbrink Information
		His preferred position was up front on the left, but that was already Johan Cruyff's domain, he had to settle for the left-wing position in midfield, taking over from Ajax great Piet Keizer.
		In the 1978 FIFA World Cup tournament in Argentina, The Netherlands again reached the final, but this time without Cruyff (who decided to retire from international football) and under the guidance of Ernst Happel rather than Michels.
		Out of the shadow of Cruyff, Rensenbrink found more room to showcase his own considerable talent, playing on the left-hand side of a front three alongside Johnny Rep and René van de Kerkhof.

		Rensenbrink scored against East Germany in the second stage, but by the final he was being troubled by injury.

		If Rob Rensenbrink's shot had gone in instead of hitting the post in what was literally the last minute of regular time in the final, then everything would have been different.
		Rob Rensenbrink had been taken off at half time in the Munich final and this sealed his his fate as a tragic hero.
		East Germany's 1:0 win over their political enemies from the west, on the opponent's territory at that, may not have had much meaning in the sporting sense since both teams had already qualified for the next round.

		Namens het Nederlands elftal is Rob Rensenbrink met vier benutte penalty’s in 1978 dé strafschopspecialist van Oranje op een WK.
		De voormalige aanvaller van onder meer DWS en Anderlecht is samen met de Portugese legende Eusebio de enige speler die ooit vier keer vanaf elf meter scoorde op de eindronde van één WK.

		Rob Rensenbrink opened the scoring from the penalty spot.
		Rensenbrink's second goal, when it duly arrived, was rather a simple affair, meeting René van de Kerkhof's excellent cross from the right with a firm header.

		He was a good dribbler and like most other Dutch players at that time, he could easily adapt playing in another position if required.
		In the final, Holland yet again had to play the hosts and Rensenbrink was an inch away from becoming a World Cup winning hero when his shot at 1-1 hit the post in the dying seconds of the final.

	Holland 1974 World Cup Squad
		Clearly, the team had to be built around the astonishingly talented Cruyff, nominally centre-forward but in practice given licence to roam at will, dropping into midfield or wandering out to the left wing or wherever he could find a gap to exploit.
		Rensenbrink had been capped as long ago as 1968, as a young DWS player, but had been overlooked at international level for some years since his move to Belgium.
		He tended to operate on the left, and was a hard working front player, a target man if you prefer, a striker who enabled play to be built around him, while Rep, generally to be found on the right, was a deadly finisher.

		Rob Rensenbrink of the Netherlands also scored three times against Iran, scoring all the goals as the Dutch won 3-0.
		After losing to Peru, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Iran, which left them needing to beat the Netherlands by three clear goals in their final match in order to go through.
		It was a daunting task, and it looked all over for Scotland in the 34th minute of the game when a Rob Rensenbrink penalty put the Netherlands ahead.

		This side played without Cruijff, who refused to participate in the World Cup because Argentina had suffered a military coup only two years earlier and he objected to playing in a country where torture and murder were continuing to be perpetrated by the junta.
		Euro 1980 was the last tournament that the generation of Total Football qualified for, but they did not advance past the group stage, despite the tournament format being expanded that year.
		Veterans such as Krol and Rensenbrink retired soon afterwards and the Netherlands missed the 1982 FIFA World Cup, Euro 1984, and the 1986 FIFA World Cup in succession.

		La Coppa del Mondo del 1978 in Argentina venne disputata secondo lo stesso modulo dei Mondiali del 1974 in Germania, vale a dire con sedici partecipanti divisi in quattro gruppi di quattro squadre nella prima fase.
		All’82’, però, fu Ernst Happel a pareggiare i conti, con gli argentini che già pregustavano la vittoria; al 90’ poi Rensenbrink sfiorò il goal della vittoria olandese.
		Rob Rensenbrink sembrò far volatilizzare i sogni scozzesi con un goal in apertura di gara, ma Kenny Dalglish pareggiò i conti in chiusura di tempo e Archie Gemmill portò poi la Scozia in vantaggio su calcio di rigore.

		ROB Rensenbrink was so good that in 1974 he played Piet Keizer out of the Dutch national team.
		Later Rivaldo was compared to Rensenbrink for similarly evasive traits.
		He was born right after the war in Amsterdam, and through DWS he attracted interest from the Dutch national team and Belgium giants Club Brugge.

		Si Rob Rensenbrink hubiera dado en el blanco en vez de estrellar el balón contra el poste en el último minuto de la final, todo hubiera sido diferente: su nación y el resto del mundo hubieran festejado al delantero holandés como máximo goleador, campeón mundial y héroe del torneo.
		Sin embargo, la realidad fue otra: los argentinos transformaron el empate a uno en un 3 a 1 en la prolongación, volviendo a finalizar el gran equipo holandés de los años setenta en el segundo puesto final, al igual que cuatro años antes en Alemania.
		Rob Rensenbrink, se convirtió, de esta manera, en un héroe trágico en 1978.

		In a tumultous match, Holland fell behind to a first-half Mario Kempes strike.
