The Dutch and total football

In the World Cup of 1974, the Dutch came and played their delightful brand of total football. With Johan Cyruff in the form of his life and well supported by his team mates, the Dutch captured the imagination of football lovers worldwide with their style of play not seen anywhere before. Although they failed at the last hurdle, that Dutch team of 74' left a lasting impression on me. Since then, I always have a soft spot for the Netherland. Can they go one better this time?
