World Cup 2010 - Cruyff disgusted by Dutch display

Holland legend Johan Cruyff has launched a scathing attack on the Dutch team's performance in the World Cup final, slamming their "dirty" tactics and their style of "anti-football".

- 0

Cruyff was at the heart of the Holland team that earned a reputation of playing 'Total Football' in the 1970s, and the pioneer of the style that earned the Dutch the reputation of being a joy to watch. The current Holland team displayed a type of football that was the antithesis of that on Sunday night, as they lost 1-0 to Spain in the World Cup final.

"Thursday they asked me from Holland 'Can we play like Inter? Can we stop Spain in the same way Mourinho eliminated Barca?'" Cruyff told El Periodico, in reference to the way Inter Milan defended their way to a Champions League semi-final victory over Barcelona.

"I said no, no way at all. I said no, not because I hate this style - I said no because I thought that my country wouldn't dare to and would never renounce their style. I said no because, without having great players like those of the past, the team has its own style.

"I was wrong. Of course I'm not hanging all 11 of them by the same rope, but almost. They didn't want the ball.

"And regrettably, sadly, they played very dirty. So much so that they should have been down to nine immediately, then they made two (such) ugly and hard tackles that even I felt the damage.

"It hurts me that I was wrong in my disagreement that instead Holland chose an ugly path to aim for the title.

"This ugly, vulgar, hard, hermetic, hardly eye-catching, hardly football style, yes it served the Dutch to unsettle Spain. If with this they got satisfaction, fine, but they ended up losing.

"They were playing anti-football."

Mon, 12 Jul 2010 05:46:00 -0700 Spain 1 - Holland 0 http://agentm.posterous.com/22741887 http://agentm.posterous.com/22741887

This was the exact opposite of the Germany VS Spain game. Holland knows that the Spanish like to play possession football so they used rough-arm tactics THROUGHOUT THE EFFING GAME but Spain had the bulk of the ball possession anyway. The ref was a world class wanker, I hope for his sake he is colour blind or something because he pulled out a yellow when it should have been a red after that crazy kung fu challenge against Alonso. That defender (if you could call him that) was nowhere near the ball and the son of a bitch kept exchanging words with Alonso even after he got up.

Even during half time, the commentators were holding back as much as they could to not directly call the ref a pussy who was making the wrong calls. I cheered for every single foul/card/dive Spain managed against these bullies and their "total football". Spain won the FIFA Fair Play award for just 8 yellow cards throughout the tournament (FIVE of which were in this final alone).

This is a direct quote from Holland coach Bert van Marwijk taken from this article by The Telegraph:

"It’s a World Cup final, and there’s a lot of emotion out there. You saw that with both teams. I’d loved to have won that match, even with not so beautiful football.”

I don't care if you don't play beautiful football but downright ugly football? Seriously?

We went to watch the match at Grand Al Mariah on their big screen and were surprised to find that the Spanish ambassador (full delegation + other Sheikhs) was there to watch the match too. I was wearing my Barcelona jersey so I got the biggest smiles from them (like this :DD ) when we walked past them to our seats. I'm glad that this match this didn't go to penalties. There were a lot of chances for both sides but this one made the difference:

Torres > Fabregas > INIESTAAAAA!! I also nominate Casillas for President of Everything.

After the match, I shook the ambassador's hand and got a big hug in return :) congratulated her in my broken Spanish, she said something back but I couldn't really understand 'cos she was screaming and crying at the same time. She did say that she wished she was in Madrid right then. This was a good tournament, I am extremely happy for the Spanish team and here's to more awesome football in the future.
