"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."

... Denmark

In football there are close relationships between the two countries, due to the large amount of quality Danish players that play and have played in the Netherlands: Soren Lerby, Jesper Olsen, Frank Arnesen, Ivan Nielsen, Jan Mølby and Jon-Dahl Tomasson are perhaps the best known of the large contingent Danes in the Eredivisie. In Denmark the encounter of 22 June 1992 is probably remembered best. The Danes came as tourists to the EC finals in Sweden, played without pressure and won the cup. In the semis they knocked a very strong Holland out on penalties after Marco Van Basten missed his spot kick.
