No one is saying Brazil played more honorably than the Netherlands

And I never claimed anyone did

Such a tiny country, only 17 million inhabitants.
Look how we're slaying among huge countries like Brazil, argentina, Germany etc.

We did well

We're the 8th biggest country in extension and yet we're only 40m people, stop trying that "huge" thing because it's not.

It's still 23million more people to potentially be great at football.

Y'all joking if you think Netherlands are going to take 2018. They're probably going to rebuild their team considering their core players are probably going to retire in the next four years and already showing signs of aging.

Robben is the hardest to replace. He is the heart and soul of Netherlands. This was their chance probably final if he retires until they recruit/develop an equal or superior talent.

I wish the World Cup was every year
The fact that most players can only play like 3 WC's at most
I know it takes time and tons of money to organize but still. They should just build permanent stadiums somewhere so that hosting won't be a hassle and it would reduce costs a ton

At least we put up a great fight, instead of giving up after 20 minutes and getting our biggest loss ever

Your intentions were clear

I'm not worried. Our new coach is probably gonna rebuild our entire tactics. I think he should focus on our defense but then again we are known for aggressive, dominant football.
We have lots of extremely talented fresh faces who are young and have a bright future ahead of them. Memphis Depay for example is only 20 years old. Daley Blind is only 24 years old. Stefan de Vrij is 22 years old. They will learn & grow from this

And what were my intentions exactly my dear?
Annoying the pressed Brazilians? Cause as far as I know that doesn't equal claiming everyone is saying Brazil played more honorary than the Dutch.

Yeah, because we have nothing else to do than playing football

The football is a secure business in your rich country. But us, as a developing country, we have other priorities, like forming engineers, researchers, doctors, and all those professionals you can easily dispense with because the history has been on your side.

I think a yearly WC would lose all the magic.

Plus, my studies has been a mess this month with all the attention on this WC. I could not handle this every year

Omg the controversy already
Cuz Queen Maxima of The Netherlands is originally from Argentina.
So everyone is like; omg is the bitch really betraying us now?

So the AIVD (the secret intelligence service of the netherlands) released a statement that the Queen is rooting for The Netherlands so we shouldn't worry.

nnnn

Maxima, la tenes adentro,

My $$ still goes to Holland. Surely it isn't that hopeless for Holland compared to the other scenario

I don't see the correlation with football tbh.
Every player in South-America that has potential flies over to Europe and plays here.
In the end ALL your players are trained by Europeans, Argentina has no hand in that at all.
