"The intellectualisation
of football has
always foundered
on a simple problem-
-the players. Doing
all your most
rewarding thinking
with your feet seems
to dull the philo-
sophical impulse.
Unless, of course,
you are Dutch.
According to legend,
Europeans played
a moronic, muscular
version of the world's
game, until Holland
proclaimed its vision
of total football in the
1974 World Cup,
and enlightenment
dawned."

Brilliant Orange: The Neurotic Genius of Dutch Football

... Bulgaria

Bulgaria are currently one of Oranjes opponents and also the main competitor in qualifications group G for the European Championships in Austria and Switzerland in 2008. The historic record shows hardly any difference between the two, although when there was something at stake Holland never lost.

The all time table:
