Did the Netherlands win the World Cup?

(Hands Up, They Did)

We've seen that it's very likely that this year's winner will be Germany. It's more possible that England or Italy could repeat their success in 1998, and it's a definite contender to win it again for the first time since 1988. However, we'll be taking a different look at The Netherlands. There are three main contenders for the World Cup: Germany, Holland and Argentina, with England an outside chance. This time round, we're breaking our Dutch focus on the national side, opting instead for a more international-friendly match report.

First Team Squad. Ajax captain Ryan Babel; Frank de Boer and Christian Poulsen. Manchester United defender Edwin van der Sar; Georginio Wijnaldum and Gregory van der Wiel of PSV Eindhoven; Manchester City's Nigel de Jong and Daley Blind of Ajax; Atletico Madrid's Juanfran Torres; Liverpool midfielder Dirk Kuyt; Tottenham Hotspur's Rafael van der Vaart. PSV

First Half. After a shaky start, Ajax was still finding its feet and its shape. The Dutch side is built on a triangle and with no one of such size playing off De Gea, the goalkeeper was under pressure throughout the first half. De Boer and Blind are not the most agile when it comes to the ball but the two of them made sure that they'd make up for the lack of pace by showing strength and technique. Both had few chances, the best being a volley from Blind after a run by Wijnaldum.

Both Ajax and PSV struggled with the high press that they received. The Dutch players seemed slightly confused by the fact that the teams were playing in an area they considered their own. Both sides did well to prevent each other from finding room but a poor tackle by Wijnaldum that led to a free-kick just outside the box was perhaps a tipping point. PSV were lucky that the free-kick was taken at a very awkward angle but it ended up in the back of the net.

PSV then went to work down the flanks and the Dutch side did little to stop them. De Jong won the header off the free-kick and the ball fell to van der Wiel, who scored.

What happened in the 2010 World Cup Spain?

It was a bit of a mixed bag.

After a bad draw in the group stage, the team finished third and went on to lose in the Quarterfinals to a second-rate team from Ecuador. A month later, after being relegated in early May, they got knocked out of Euro 2025 by an undermanned Greece side in a shootout. That's the story of 2010-11.

A couple things to note before we look at the numbers. First, you'll see the usual disclaimer here that I am an admitted bias about this team. I love soccer, my hometown teams, and Spain in particular. With the best record in history, I want to give my two cents. Second, these are my own metrics and I'm not going to pretend that they tell the entire story. Third, it's early. And that third point is kind of the most important. The top of the charts may change. There's plenty of things still to play out. Some of these numbers might be off because the competition hasn't really begun. I'm going to do my best to be as unbiased as possible though.

The big picture, here's what I see. It's no different than any other season, with three big names carrying most of the burden. Xavi/Andres Iniesta will get you 90-100 starts per game, with either Busquets or Albiol being right behind them at 75-85. Xavi will also probably take over the assist lead. He's been outstanding so far. Andres Iniesta has to be the best defender of the league and at this stage in his career is the best passer, probably as well.

That would take the most starts from anyone except a full-time starter. Xavi only plays the full match every fourth game. For most of the games, he's got about 45-60 minutes. The next closest for a team playing 4-3 is Iniesta who plays the whole match once every fifth game. And the next closest for all players is Busquets who doesn't play more than 65 minutes. And that's how the starting rotation breaks down. As for the second line of defense, Xabi Alonso has stepped into the No. 1 role. He plays the full match every 3rd or 4th game.

Who won the 2010 FIFA final?

The answer to that question is not a straightforward one.

The official verdict is that it was a goal from Juan Agero that gave Argentina victory over the Netherlands, but the truth is that there were several moments when the Argentines could have lost. This is one of them.

It is always difficult to draw conclusions from a final - the game rarely comes off as a straight shootout between two teams, both with a chance of winning every single time. In this case, however, the Dutch defence was so impenetrable and the Argentines so determined to get their chance, that the only way they could have won was by scoring twice. The second goal, for all its brilliance, came as a result of poor play from the Netherlands.

Argentina's first-half display was so impressive that many people felt the Dutch were lucky to go into half-time 1-0 down. The defence had been superb - the four centre-backs of Nigel de Jong, Jeroen Zoet, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Ricardo van Rhijn were all outstanding, and keeper Tim Krul was also very good. But the second half was far more even.

The Netherlands had gone behind just before half-time, as a clever pass from Lionel Messi on the right, in space, beat the whole Dutch defence and put Argentina in front. Within seconds, the Dutch were back in the match. It was not a goal but it was an important moment, and it seemed that the Netherlands might be able to respond to their disappointment.

Afterwards, Krul said: It was one of those games where it was a very even game, no team had a clear advantage. He was right. The Dutch, who had taken the lead in the early stages, were also excellent at set-pieces.

The best player on the pitch was also the most important - Messi.e. He gave Argentina the initiative, and created three chances that brought the best out of the Dutch defenders. The first was a pass to the left wing for Maxi Lpez, who was played through by Hernn Crespo. The defender got a touch, but still made a good run forward. Then, when the ball broke to him, he took the ball past the last Dutch defender, Wesley Sneijder, and released Crespo.
