HOLLAND - Football Selecciones Socks

The Netherlands made its international debut in 1905. For decades, its presence was discreet, with sporadic appearances in the World Cups of the 1930s. It wasn't until the 1970s that everything changed.

With Rinus Michels on the bench and Johan Cruyff on the field, the Dutch national team revolutionized the game with "Total Football." In 1974 and 1978, they reached the World Cup final, losing to Germany and Argentina, respectively, but leaving an indelible tactical mark.

In 1988, with Van Basten, Gullit, and Rijkaard, they won the European Championship in Germany. It was their first major title, and a confirmation that Dutch talent was no longer just a promise.
