  1. He is into Dutch football but He is not a football Expert. He would have known that Netherlands doesnt have the players to impose that total football. Netherlands didnt qualify for the last world cup.

  2. What you saw decades ago, would not be relevant today! Football evolves, so does the players, the rules, the tactics, the coaches/manager……Example this year World Cup. There's no Italy even from previous World Cup. Germany knocked up early even lost to Japan…..now every top players has plus minus the same skill sets….that's unheard off decades ago!

  3. He is absolutely correct it's shocking to watch Van Gaal just terrible you watch Holland like Manchester when he was at the club dreadful event club he has been same awful to watch

  4. Quality of Dutch players is poor. Apart from van dijk being world class. 7-8 are decent players. the best are average! The days of total football are long gone and van gaal has done a good job from the players he has at his disposal. Dutch football is in a bad state right now!

  5. When's the last time they actually played attacking football? Even in 2010 when they reached the final, they played horrendously! When Gakpo is you biggest attacking threat, Van Gaal's current style is your best bet.

  6. Holland are a limited team but they pushed Argentina all the way.
    They just don't have the players for the total football and LVG took them as far as he could.

  7. Lol “Dutch” football never got them the trophy… Louis has this team playing good football that was able to take a better Argentina team to the penalties. What more do you want.

  8. Remember apart from Frenkie and Virgil, the rest of the team are not world class players but they carry the team all the way to Quarter Final.

  9. Well he did bring them to a semi final and quarter final the 2 out of the last three world cups… crucifying is a little intense

  10. Crucifying Dutch football? The Netherlands pulled off a miracle through LvG and his tactics, substitutions in that game and were in the end unlucky. It literally came down to the last kick of the ball – against one of the tournament favorites… pretty good performance.

    Albeit it was a slow game for them, remember Argentina are 35 – 1.

  11. Oranje just lost on a shoot out, and this is his hot take? Stop this madness – the pipe dream of the old days is not relevant to this current Dutch lineup.

  12. Gareth Southgate crucified the team when he needed to make crucial tactical changes against France…. bringing attacking players on later around 80' in the crucial game
