How do you feel when you realize that Holland will never win a World Cup.
It makes me kind of sad actually. For decades the Dutch have established themselves amongst the 'great footballing nations'. Those are power ranked: 1. Brazil, 2. Italy (edging out Germany by being superior in direct competition) 3. Germany 4. Argentina 5. France 6. Uruguay (biggest successes happended to long ago to be placed higher) 7. Spain 8. Netherlands 9. England (many would place them over Holland because of '66, but that's another discussion)
Spain, being the other problem child for decades, with their most recent generation winning 2 EUROs and a WC comfortably overtook the Dutch leaving them the to be the only unfulfilled of the great nations.
And I can't really see them going back to be a competitor for a World Cup in the foreseeable future. They're a tiny nation, they have approximately 20 people to choose from and they are all going to drown. It's a miracle how they got to have so many world class players in the past. But that is over,no really, the only thing going down faster than their football is their land into the ocean.
At this rate the US will win their first WC before Holland. Portugal or Chile or even fucking Belgium might meme themselves to win it.
It makes me sad because, having had so many great players, having been involved in so many memorable clashes, including three finals, I feel like they deserve at least one World Cup. Definitley over England, whose '66 win is the only thing keeping them on that list above. They would literally be Sweden tier if it weren't for that.
Anyway what do you think? Does it sadden you too? Are you a bad person and like to laugh at misery? Are you indifferent? Is soccer for faggots? Discuss.

>6. Uruguay
Austin Baker
didn't read haha
John Ramirez
It doesn't sadden me because Van Persie and Van Der Wiel jewing our money while playing nothing for Fenerbahçe. Fuck them Dutches in my team. No disrespect to based Kuyt.
Do you know Fenerbahçe is playing Sturm Graz tomorrow for EL qualifier and Van Persie ""all of a sudden"" is injured again. Fuck that rat faced beta cuck. Hope he drowns in an ocean of cock.
Jacob Anderson
Seeing how they have completely abandoned the style of play that made them relevant in the football world I do not feel sorry for them, no. The team that >we beat in the WC final in South Africa wasn't exactly 1974's Holland, was it? Not even when they beat us 5-1 in Brazil they played something even close to total football, so I don't think you can really see any relation between the Netherlands of the 70's that "football owe them something" and their NT now.
Oliver Wright
they should just merge back with Belgium already, with their powers combined they might actually win something
all swamp germans are the same anyways
Nathaniel Morales
Since it's rare to find a Turk here, I might as well ask you now. Is Turan really the best player you've had in a while or is Cenk Tosun better?
Jaxon Wilson
borra esto
Joseph Martin
feels good man
Julian Jackson
2018 is our year la
Parker Lopez
We know that education in Chile sucks. No need to tell us.
Henry Rodriguez
>mfw they merge with belgium,van gaal comes out of retirement and they win the worldcup by hoofing it to fellaini no leaf me alone
Joshua Walker
I feel that Netherlands should be ranked higher, like 5th or something. Before 98 and after the 40's, there was ever a french team that was considered the favorite to win the World Cup?
William Johnson
Englel are for sure ahead of H0lland world cups clearly count or you wouldn't have included Urgay
Aaron Richardson
Yeah, France is ridiculously high, they should be 8th just after Spain tBh. Also Germany should obviously be 2nd and Argentina 3rd since two of Italy's WCs were bought by Mussolinni.
Jeremiah Murphy
when all the European nations reach 100% diversity it's an extra Africa cup every 4 years so who gives a fuck
Jaxson Adams
...
Lucas Bailey
You clicked Sup Forums not /pol...you have to go back
Blake Russell
You can't tell anyone that it doesn't bother you when all the NTs look exactly the same.
Also, >muh Sup Forums boogeyman
Jayden Brooks
spain doesn't have any blacks in the team tho
Hudson Martin
Yeah, it's quite sad and europeans should totally do something about it, but Sup Forums is not the place.
Oliver Ward
We had Senna in the 2008 EURO. And now we have Williams in the U21. We also have Diego Costa but if he counts as black then everyone but Iniesta does too.
Cooper Torres
France has two EUROs and several appearances in semis and finals, lots of memorable players, games, moments in football history that put them in this category in the first place alongside the other nations. Compared to that what does England have to show for? Besides their one win I remember tow semis in the 90s. Everything else is them being ridiculed. France deserves to be as high as I put them, Negland to be as low.
With Uruguay, sure you could put them lower, but it's actually all those Copa Americas that tip the scale for me to rank them 6th.
Kayden Adams
that's only one then compare it to france or belgium,those teams don't look very "french" or "belgian"
Luke Jenkins
Fuck it, we win the world cup with Korfbal every year motherfuckers!
Logan Evans
>counting copa americas and euros >put holland on the list without a world cup and one euros
So where are Chile and Egypt and Cameroon and Nigeria and Ivory Coast and even fucking Ethiopia?
Cameron Mitchell
It was really cringeworthy seeing Senna waving Spain flag desu.
Jeremiah Gomez
>2. Italy (edging out Germany by being superior in direct competition) >3. Germany Germany should be considered number 2 for overall better performances in WCs.
They have more top 2, top 4 and top 8 finishes and more points in WC matches than Italy does.
Jonathan Long
>counting results that weren't cup wins
Nah blad don't be that guy, bet you watch the 3rd/4th game don't you?
Sebastian Allen
> rating the African Cup of Nations Did a big black man that lives under a boat on the beach steal your heart Giuseppe`?
Jaxson Martin
It's just as a tiebreaker, of course WC wins matter the most which is why I would still rate Uruguay over France and Spain despite Uruguay's cups being from the dinosaur era.
Elijah Fisher
You can't disregard one local competition and not another Hans. Australia are objectively better than Holland as well as Mexico
Carson Perez
>unironically counting copa americas and euros
Wyatt Fisher
Exactly this
Gavin Rodriguez
really really REALLY cringeworthy waving the flag of the country you represent
Ayden Perry
>inb4 some wild uruguayan appears
Ethan Hughes
>caring about Turkey or its people
you have to go back Mehmet
Kevin Myers
He only had to cut inside
Brayden Russell
list is actually fairly decent op, the only problem is if you're counting wc wins as a reason to put uruguay above fuckin spain there's no reason england should be below holland.
Parker Johnson
When you're a complete black foreigner in a white(ish) country and lived there for like 6 years, is quite cringeworthy pretending to be so nationalistic.
Nolan Perez
He wouldn't be able to beat Casillas in his prime regardless
Jack Wood
we also have two more EUROs doesn´t that count for anything? we´re clearly No 2. If we win next year we´re No 1 without a doubt!
Gavin Morris
Valdes was better
Jace Harris
valdes wasn't even top 3 in la liga
Dominic Roberts
Hahaha sick banter f@m. Really gave me a good bit of stick.
David Martin
delete this
Blake Edwards
>this flag >this post navas pls go
Mason Lewis
No problem with that, i find the netherlands worse than germany (no offense op).
I really miss the days when spain always won no matter what, they're a good substitute for italy who is only succesfull every 15 years or so. I love england but...
Justin Clark
Portugal > netherlands
They've been really consistent for the past 20 years (lot of semi finals) and finally got a major tournament win. Fuck the nigel kanker nejderlagen kunts
Mason Parker
Why Italy above Germany? Italy won two world cups in the Mussolini era. Meanwhile Germany defeated Puskas, Cruyff, Maradona and Messi
Also 3 euros > 1 euro
Jeremiah James
You all know this is the only correct answer. 4 historical dominant nations (Germany, Italy, Brazil and Argentina), always favourites no matter what year (maybe Italy a bit less recently, but still a top tier NT). Then 4 NT who had their golden era (Spain, England, France and Netherlands) and usually are top tier. And finally Uruguay, who are the Nottingham Forest of the WCs.
Andrew Allen
yfw based hungary wins the worldc up over the dutchmen in russia
Bentley Brooks
>i havent seen 2010 WC
Jack Myers
Mexico strong lmao
Hudson Brooks
just in here to see if a mexican insulted a dutchman for that sweet copypasta
Xavier Foster
>puts Uruguay over Spain >puts England under the Netherlands I know we're a bit shit m8 but we've won a fucking world cup
Joshua Myers
>Argentina >dominant nation >only 2 wcs >no titles since ever
Alexander Stewart
England on that list is a fucking joke.
Jacob Richardson
urgay's world cups matter just as much as england's and spain's
