Holland - ahead of England - a hate German football fans. A relationship based on reciprocity. 2002 German fans were singing gleefully "Without Holland we ride the World Cup" as the Dutch Elftal failed in qualifying. And the Dutch are the first to be happy the old song "What a pity Germany is far from over," sing, if the Germans advance . Excrete It is interesting that both satirical songs are sung the same tune. So there is next to the cordial dislike probably many things in common. is true indeed that the two countries have been many highly emotional football battles - most notably the World Cup final of 1974 in which the coronation of the "total football" to be held Dutch character and finally the Germans - not least because of the home advantage and because Gerd Mueller - won. The EM, the Hamburg semi-final was in 1988 in no way inferior to that in which the Dutch fans were in the majority. Unforgettable is the scene in which Ronald Koeman wiping with the shirt of Olaf Thon's ass. Then came the close duels in World Cup qualification in 1990 and finally hatred in the eighth game of the 1990 World Cup, which gave it to Frank Rijkaard and Rudi Voeller, the red card and was in the Jürgen Klinsmann, the game of his life. 1992, both teams met in the group stage of the EM together again, Holland won 3-1, but since both teams progressed, the German defeat was not so much weight. In 2004 there were in Portugal at the European Championships a 1-1, but the rivalry was at that time already pretty cool.
Holland was lost to the Germans on the one hand the World Cup semi-final of 1974 after the other hand, the memory of the German occupation during World War II long duels with superimposed the neighbors. We were happy to have managed to make the seemingly all-powerful neighbors on the pitch a leg.
to this was - and this is not negligible - that collided with the Netherlands and Germany, two different football philosophies, namely on the one hand, the often sober, results-oriented purpose Football German-style and on the other side of the offensive-oriented "Total Football" to die with a certain tendency in Beauty - by Johan Cruyff and his followers. Holland won by the fans for themselves, many of Germany title. This has
2010 World Cup, the picture turned in some ways, Germany has to Australia, England and Argentina refreshing attacking football shown, however, Holland played sober and purpose. Upside down! The German troupe presents itself as a multicultural, technologically finely chiseled football team, while Holland is football - although they have with Sneijder and Robben some exquisite artist in its ranks. It is no coincidence that with van Bommel, Robben, Mathijsen and Bouhlarouz four key actors play the Dutch in the league, coach Bert van Marwijk has Bundesliga experience and Bayern coach van Gaal is from Holland. The two rivals are currently fertilize each other more than we think it is possible a few years ago had held. Germany learning from the Dutch wit, the Dutch take over the German discipline. And last but not least: It's just nice to see that people like van Bommel and seals and many other Dutch professionals in Germany feel comfortable, so you can put the unfortunate past, perhaps at some point abandoned.
So I think in the final to the Netherlands (since the semi-final from the Germans I consistently wear orange T-shirts) and I hope that they see a gap in the English who have not found Jogi Löw and his men. I was in 2006 in Nuremberg in the "Battle of Nuremberg" between Holland and Portugal and held then for the first time in my life to the Dutch, because the Portuguese were playing back then simply dirty. Cristiano Ronaldo appeared Schwalbenkönig away so often that one could say he had a snorkel on the green grass on the road.
In this sense: Hup, Holland, hup! This time you are the better German!
skin off the Spaniards!
