A country like Holland who has some of the best players in the world along with the best coaches doesn't use their best to represent their national team!!
Holland has many great coaches in the legendary Guus Hiddink, Dick Advocaat, Van Gaal, Frank Rijkaard, Leo Beenhaker to name a few.
Yet they opt to use a young inexperienced coach like Van Basten instead.
Hiddink turns an average team like S.Korea and Australia into attractive spectacles.
Seriously imagine what Hiddink could do with Holland a team with players like Van Nistelrooy, Arjen Robben, Van Persie and so on.
My Dutch team would look like this:
---------------------Van Nistelrooy
-------Robben-----------------------------Van Persie
-----Seedorf/Sneijder---------------------Van Der Vaart
-----------------------Van Bommel
-----Van Bronkhorst---------------------------Bouhlarouz
--------------------Ooijer-----------Matijsen
-------------------------Van Der Saar
Or take for example Brazil's world cup winning coach Luiz Phillipe Scolari who rejected coaching his native Brasil and opted to coach Portugal the country he failed to win the 2004 euro cup for.
They may have offered him more money, I dont know! But where are these people pride and loyalty?!! I am certain that with Scolari Brasil would have done much better than they did in Germany last summer. I hope he comes back to coach the Salecao.
Another example is when the Greek coach Otto Rehagel rejected coaching his native Germany after Franz Bekenbauer offered him the job when he won euro 2004 for Greece.
This sort of bahaviour by both players and coaches has to stop for the good of International football and competition. International football is losing its credibility and turning into club football as we see numerous numbers of national teams with non native players mainly from Brasil.
