About the Book
The Netherlands have been one of the world's most distinctive and sophisticated football cultures. From the birth of Total Football in the 1960s, through two decades of World Cup near misses, to the exiles who remade clubs like AC Milan, Barcelona, Arsenal and Chelsea in their own image, the Dutch have often been dazzlingly original and influential. The elements of their style (exquisite skills, adventurous attacking tactics, a unique blend of individual creativity and teamwork, weird patterns of self-destruction) reflect and embody the country's culture and history. Updated to include commentary on Euro 2000.
