-Ronald Koeman is the team’s captain, but he’s being held out of this match due to an injury. Koeman was arguably the best player in this World Cup and his absence will be felt by the Dutch. -The Netherlands have never won a World Cup final before—but they were runners-up three times before 1986. -The Netherlands play an attack-minded style of soccer that is fun to watch. They’re led by Johan Cruyff, who was one of the most gifted players ever to grace a pitch. He retired from international competition after this World Cup and has since become one of Europe’s biggest coaches. -The Dutch team is full of players who play in the best European teams, such as PSV Eindhoven (where van Basten plays), Ajax Amsterdam and FC Barcelona. They also have some former Italian stars on their side, including Marco Tardelli and Ruud Gullit.
