The 1974 World Cup final |
|
On the 15th of June the Dutch will play the Germans on the European Championships in Portugal . This year it is exactly 30 years ago that the Dutch played the Germans in the World Cup Final. A Dutch writer published a book about it with the title: 1974, ‘We were the best'. The Dutch writer did in-depth research and comes with a lot of new clues that explain why the Dutch played so bad in the dramatic or better traumatic final. It comes out that although the Dutch team played quite well and managed to reach the final, it was an undisciplined group of fun makers that had a fierce lifestyle during the tournament. When the match begun the team was already completely exhausted. The writer and one of the players of the 1974 Dutch national team give insight in way the Dutch lost the final.
