Why has the country that invented modern football never won a World Cup?

Whenever a major tournament arrives, an unmistakable sea of orange takes over the stands. The Dutch fans are universally recognised as some of the most loyal, passionate, and vibrant supporters in the world. Yet, beneath the celebration lies one of the most mesmerising paradoxes in sports history: despite completely revolutionising the game, the Netherlands has never lifted the World Cup trophy.

1974, 1978, 2010 and 2014 were the years, in which it really looked that Dutch football could be granted with their first World Cup trophy. They always failed. Will 2026 be any different - only Ronald Koeman, Frenkie de Jong, Virgil Van Dijk, Donyell Malen and Co. could give us a proper answer...

Kom op, Oranje! ????????
