 Netherlands History
Arguments over professionalism were finally settled in 1954, as the Netherlands embraced professional football and set the scene for the successes that would follow in the coming decades, as players from the Netherlands and the Dutch colonies began to make an impact at the highest level.
Indeed, it was to take eight years before another Dutch team reached a major finals tournament, but the new look Netherlands of Ruud Gullit and Marco van Basten were not to accept their predecessors' legacy of near misses, winning the 1988 European Championship after playing some marvellous football.
However, for all of their brilliance, this was a team prone to in-fighting and unrest, and their displays at the finals of the 1990 and 1994 World Cups and the 1992 European Championship saw as much talk of unfulfilled potential as potent football.

 Holland 1974 World Cup Squad
Suurbier, tall, strong, and a good passer and crosser of the ball with either foot, was equally at home on either side of the defence, while Krol combined the physical presence of a centre-back with the speed and athleticism of a left-back or left-winger: a modern-day reference point might be Paolo Maldini.
In general, Suurbier played on the right, Krol on the left, Rijsbergen in the centre and Haan as a sort of mobile sweeper (albeit often in front of the defence rather than behind it) but the roles were very often swapped, Jansen often dropping deep to cover for an absent full-back.
The captain of the side was to be Cruyff - an obvious choice, you might think, but in fact he had only been given the job back in 1971 after Israël had lost it (due to some comment he made out of turn, apparently).
