In '94 when the WC was in the States, I was a valet at a restaurant in Dallas when a group of Dutch supporters came in for dinner the night before the game against Brazil.

I was unaware of the singing and carrying on that goes on in the crowds of those games, and it was so different than the atmosphere at a random American sports event. Since then, I have continued to watch Oranje, and sport my National jersey regularly, and continue to hope that one day they will finally hoist the World Cup. I feel like no country has produced as many great players and not won it. Hope they win Euro 2024!
One of the best sides I ever saw, this 88' Netherlands. Van Basten was the world's best scorer by a long shot, but Gullit was probably the best player in the world at that moment. What a delight.
Van Basten probably scored the greatest goal EVER on a european championship. EVER!!!!! The Netherlands were the greatest team back then. BY FAR!!!!!!!!!!
@@waxweazle100Hoe kan je dit zeggen… Dit was letterlijk het beste NL elftal ooit. Van Basten en Gullit zijn letterlijk 2 van de beste voetballers aller tijden en jij noemt ze slecht😂
Dit weet ik nog als de dag van gisteren, en ook 2021 staat in mijn geheugen geschrift. Op mijn verjaardag werd er opnieuw history geschreven. Nederlands eerste Formule 1 wereld kampioen.
As a 14 year old I was blown away how good this Netherlands team were. They came to Wembley an destroyed us (England)and also in this tournament what a fantastic team.
@@Tha-King-Arthur, no way that they were better than great players like Van Basten, Gullit, Rijkaard, Koeman, Vanenburg and Wouters! Only the generation of Johan Cruyff in the seventies was better than that of 1988.
I was born after the 74-78 totaalvoetbal years with Michels and Cruyff, but as a young impressionable boy in 1988 I fell in love with Oranje. Big moments I remember are Marco van Basten's hattrick against England, and the very tight semi-final against West Germany, with first a penalty to the Germans, then the Dutch, and then van Bastens goal at the very end. Both my older brothers were fans of Germany, but I stood my ground. Of course I remember this final, too, but even for a 7 year old it was a bit of a blur. I had fallen in love. To be fair, to be more precise, the effect was even bigger. Gullit, van Basten, Koeman, Rijkhard, Bosman and company didn't make me fall in love only with that specific team or subsequent iterations of the Oranje, but also with football as a sport (I played until U18 on a high level), with spectator sports as a whole, with the Netherlands as a nation, with Dutch as a language... the effect was profound. And I'm from Finland. Later when our own Jari Litmanen played a big part of his career for Ajax, it didn't exactly lessen my love :D I have since travalled to the Netherlands many times and learned enough of the language to be able to read simple text (can understand if I read a newspaper, unless it's about very complex issues), but understanding spoken dutch is still difficult. In 1998 I was heartbroken when perhaps the best Oranje I've seen (van der Saar, both de Boers, Cocu, Davids, Jonk, Kluivert, Seedorf, van Bronckhorst, Overmars, Kluivert, Bergkamp) lost on penalties to Brazil in the semi-final. And I had really really liked Brazil, too, since 1990 or at the very least since 1994, so I was a bit surprised with how dissapointed I was. It was perhaps the first time I was reminded of that one can only have one favorite. I really liked Tiki-Taka, too, and developed a fondness for Spain because of it. But I got this same reminder in 2010. I travelled to the Netherlands to see the final, I chose the student city of Groeningen over Amsterdam, to have a better, more intimate party, and I thought that I wouldn't be so dissapointed if Spain wins, because I liked their play, too. How wrong was I. It was an even bigger dissapointment than 1998. No need to talk more about that dissapointment, but it left a wound in my heart, probably very similar to what those older generations felt when experiencing 1974 and 1978. In the 2012 euro qualifications Holland and Suomi were drawn into the same qualifying group, but that was not a problem. I went to see Finland's home game dressed in Orange, and I made some friends (who were dumbfounded). It did not feel wrong to support a team against my home nation, which I love and cherish. As Finland has since become more of a contender to participate in Euros and maybe in worlds, too, it could be more difficult in the future if (and eventually when) they meet. I believe, that I won't be too dissapointed if my country Finland beats my team Oranje, but I may be in for a third reminder, that one can only have one favorite team...
Ik was een jongetje van 7 jaar en keek het samen met mijn vader. Hoe mijn pa tekeer ging bij die doelpunten van oranje. Ik zal het nooit vergeten. En het feest op straat. Het maakt mij zo weemoedig....
@@INFIN1TY- It wasn't luck at all, he deliberately shot (that's very clear from the way he shapes up to hit the ball, it was deliberately hit with power in a way which would make no sense for a cross, let alone one played from within the box - way too powerful to be a pass).
I was 9 too. I was playing outside when the tournament was on. We were building a “hut”, hideout of scrap planks etc. But back then tv was analog and so everyone was having the same content at the exact same time. And then the roar coming from all houses at the same time was quite impressive as a child. Never experienced that again. Nowadays with streaming everyone is a few seconds different so you don’t get that massive cheer anymore.
Для СССР это был матч упущенных возможностей - штанга, пенальти и промах в пустые ворота. Через пару месяцев уже Олимпийская команда СССР взяла золото в Сеуле!
на олимпиаде любители играют, а на чемпионате европы играют профессионалы, хотя за ссср так же играют онди любители, в СССР не было профессионалов. Так что сафт факт того что ссср дошел до финала - удивительно. Как будто дворовая команда дошла до финала
It is impossible to compare the Olympic Games with a European Championship. But indeed, the USSR were very strong and the Netherlands had a bit of luck in the final. If Belanov would have scored that penalty for example things might have gone quite differently. This USSR team was not lucky against the low countries, also losing to Belgium two years earlier after giving away an advantage twice.
@@elementone9454 СССР в полуфинале выиграли у звёздной Италии. В финале у Бразилии с Ромарио, Бебето, Тафарелом. Это по твоему любители? Ты думай сначала что говоришь...
I really wish Holland won more (1978, 2010 WCs) and Euro (2000) (though France was its peak). This side was really good along with the sides of the 70s and early 2010s. More consistency like Germany would have done the trick.
Netherlands circa 2010s was decent, not less, not more. Not exactly a world beater (in a period where Italy, France were in decline and Germany was just building its team). Spain eventually beating them just proved that back then.
@@iqbalmuhammad2920 The Netherlands is not only 3 times runner up at WC's, but also among the smallest countries. Uruguay is the winner among the smallest countries so far by winning 2 WC titles in history a long time ago. After that, it never happened again. This contest is not for small countries. This contest is for big countries, with the biggest amount of money in club investments (also at amature level) and therefore enough to compete in the strongest competitions. I forsee it will become more and more difficult for small countries like the Netherlands to get along with it and reaching a WC final; it still remains a very small probability.

Ik ben nu 60 jaar. Ik heb 1974 en 1978 meegemaakt. Daarna verloor ik het geloof ik Nederland. En toen, opeens, werden we Europees kampioen in het jaar dat ik trouwde met mijn liefde. Geweldig!!!
Great football times! The magical 1982 World Cup, Platini's and Maradona's finest hours in 1984 and '86 respectively, and finally that awesome Dutch team of 1988! Wonderful memories!
Heerlijk om weer terug te zien! De blijdschap, vreugde, trots. En dan de rondvaart / huldiging in A'dam, met halfgezonken woonboten.... Dit zullen we nooit, nooit vergeten.....
Vedere questa partita mi fa piangere per 2 motivi: sono milanista e Gullit e Van Basten giocavano in quel grande Milan; il grosso di quell'Unione Sovietica era fatto da giocatori della Dinamo Kiev; ripensandoci adesso, fa piangere xké allora erano tutti "fratelli" e adesso si fanno la guerra.🥲
Ik was -12 toen dit gebeurde, Ik zie deze beelden nu pas voor het eerst. Ik heb echt vrij weinig met voetbal. Mijn vader was hier wel bij maar die kan zich ook alleen nog maar de feesten en gekte erna herinneren en de kater de dagen erna (Mijn vader was 19 toen dit gebeurde) toch leuk dat het nou ook een keer heb gezien lol...
Ik was toen op de camping in België die vol zat met Nederlanders, je zag niemand op straat en toen de wedstrijd was afgelopen gingen we de kantine in feest vieren. De Belgen wisten niet wat ze zagen, geweldig dit. Dit team had in 1990 wereldkampioen moeten worden.
I was 10 and 14 years old when The Netherlands lost the worldcup finals in 74 and 78. Since then I didn't follow the orange team anymore, I was working when they won the EC of 1988. Unbelievable!
Let's admit Dassaev was a fabulous goalkeeper. edited because I watched the Netherlands in tournaments from '74 (eight years old) up until coming EC 24 (do the maths). It;s very, very rare to see them end on top, have my hopes up for this one ('24) as I think Depay is on peak form and we got some real talent in midfield. Let's gooooo Holland!
At 5:51 in slow motion the masterpiece where football takes its highest representation !! He stood still for a while rubbing my eyes thinking he saw a flash (of the big Van Basten)
Och wat een tijd, echt bizar hoe blij iedereen was. Wat een feest, krijg er nog kriebels van en dan ook nog, vooral in die tijd, op de bodem vd vijand de titel halen. Mis het non modern voetbal, spijkerhard, sokjes omlaag, ongeschoren etc. Bedrijven hebben vooral met geld het voetbal naar de knoppen geholpen. Mooie tijd, jammer dat het niet meer terug komt.
Group 2 was amazing, apart from England. Ireland played the Soviets off the park in the group and just couldn't get the 2nd killer goal. Then were extremely unfortunate to concede a freakish late goal against the Netherlands, in a game Netherlands had to win. Great tournament.
Number 6: Berry van Aerle. A great player and a very nice guy! He won a lot in his career: 1. European Championship 2. Europa Cup 1 (European Cup) 3. Eredivisie (Dutch championship): 5 times 4. KNVB Beker (Dutch Cup): 3 times 5. Johan Cruijff Shield Not too bad...
Remember this day well. Was 14. Had fish and chips. Went straight to Karate. Vomited at Karate. Watched this game with Dad wanting USSR to win because I was a fan of Dasayev.
@@love-vy1rynope, 15 out of 31 were from Dinamo Kyiv, and I remember that Lobanovskiy was heavily criticized for using so many players from his own club.
I was in Utrecht at the time trying to get home - but public transport came to a halt because fans where jumping up and down on the roof of buses. Finally I did not care - all the pubs where a sea of orange and finally the dutch lion had conquered. I decided to get drunk like everybody else. Good times.

I remember after the match we went outside for a drive in the car ,It was like the whole city dressed in orange and went outside. I mean everyone! (The Hague ,Holland) walking ,driving in cars with orange bed sheets over them hahaha.
Same year VanBasten, Gullit, Rijkard won the European Cup with AC Milan with a 4-0 destruction of Steaua Bucharest. On their way to the final they also beat Real Madrid 5-0
Van Basten’s goal is still the greatest goal scored in the final of a major tournament.

Ik ben nu 60 jaar. Ik heb 1974 en 1978 meegemaakt. Daarna verloor ik het geloof ik Nederland. En toen, opeens, werden we Europees kampioen in het jaar dat ik trouwde met mijn liefde. Geweldig!!!
Sovjet Union had a great team but couldn´t match with the individual qualities of the Dutch team
Soviet union - empire of the evil.
@@ruslanshunevich1016 That's true,but it's still a great team
@@prog1962 They are won something? Great team...He.
@@ruslanshunevich1016 They did: The Euros of 1960.
A few Russians were also very skilled. It wasn't only their team work.
The day football without silly drama and incidents.
@Dan Swildens no drama bro. Just pure football action
Lol. Look at the semi vs Germany.
@@visfanaat8188 agree. At that time, there's a big animosity between those two.
@@visfanaat8188 Thats Mattheus, the biggest dramaturg ever in German football history .
Toch nog even bekeken vooraf aan EK 2024. Wat zou ik dit graag een keer zelf meemaken. Dan ga ik echt dagenlang janken als dat gebeurd.
Is niet gebeurd
Is there any opta type stats for this match or the 1988 tournament?
05:23 The greatest goal ever scored in a tournament final, and likely in the top 10 of greatest goals ever scored in the history of football.
Never to be seen again this European Championship because Russian soccer players are punished for being oppressed by their terrible dictator Putin.
Must have been a very special feeling for Rinus Michels, to win the title at this stadium, where 14 years earlier he had lost the Word Cup Final.
As a Dutchman, this was the best team we’ve ever had, sadly wasn’t around to experience this.
Great football times! The magical 1982 World Cup, Platini's and Maradona's finest hours in 1984 and '86 respectively, and finally that awesome Dutch team of 1988!
Wonderful memories!
Rinus Michels !!! Wow . Best manager ever.
Heerlijk om weer terug te zien!
De blijdschap, vreugde, trots.
En dan de rondvaart / huldiging in A'dam, met halfgezonken woonboten....
Dit zullen we nooit, nooit vergeten.....
Vedere questa partita mi fa piangere per 2 motivi: sono milanista e Gullit e Van Basten giocavano in quel grande Milan; il grosso di quell'Unione Sovietica era fatto da giocatori della Dinamo Kiev; ripensandoci adesso, fa piangere xké allora erano tutti "fratelli" e adesso si fanno la guerra.🥲
AC Milan was big and power, what a time
Finally a win after then 2 losses in the World Cup Finals! We also need a World Cup win hope it's in 2026!
haha dat gaat niet gebeuren 😂
1974, 1978 and 2010...3 loses
3 losses my friend. That is insane. The Dutch deserve AT LEAST 1 Cup!
Ik was -12 toen dit gebeurde, Ik zie deze beelden nu pas voor het eerst. Ik heb echt vrij weinig met voetbal. Mijn vader was hier wel bij maar die kan zich ook alleen nog maar de feesten en gekte erna herinneren en de kater de dagen erna (Mijn vader was 19 toen dit gebeurde) toch leuk dat het nou ook een keer heb gezien lol...
Wow jij was 12. En je vader was 19...🙄🙄 wat klopt er niet?
@@joentjekapoentje -12. Dus 12 jaar voordat ik geboren was...
@@Drie_Kleuren OWWWW haha. Ja dan klopt het wel😄😄😄. Sorry. Verkeerd gelezen👍
Ik was toen op de camping in België die vol zat met Nederlanders, je zag niemand op straat en toen de wedstrijd was afgelopen gingen we de kantine in feest vieren. De Belgen wisten niet wat ze zagen, geweldig dit. Dit team had in 1990 wereldkampioen moeten worden.
74 , 78, 1990 , tja het waren de beste momenten voor Nederland .
@@jonaswhale6451 1990 waren niet zulke beste momenten hoor voor NL voetbal... Denk dat ik me dan nog lichtjes uitdruk.
@@jonaswhale6451 2010 ook hoor toen hadden ze ook de finale gehaald van het WK voetbal
Just seeing that zeppelin at the start gives me goosebumps.😅 i dont know why
I was 10 and 14 years old when The Netherlands lost the worldcup finals in 74 and 78. Since then I didn't follow the orange team anymore, I was working when they won the EC of 1988. Unbelievable!
Kippenvel. Fantastisch mooi. ❤ 🇳🇱
Where was this played?
Let's admit Dassaev was a fabulous goalkeeper.
edited because I watched the Netherlands in tournaments from '74 (eight years old) up until coming EC 24 (do the maths). It;s very, very rare to see them end on top, have my hopes up for this one ('24) as I think Depay is on peak form and we got some real talent in midfield. Let's gooooo Holland!
Wat een groot feest was het toen!!! Onvergetelijk! Wat was het prachtig!!!
3:05... could not even remember that one. Mother of all tackles and not even performed by an Italian
Haha mooi verwoord , de Spijker .
@@jonaswhale6451 Legendarische verdediger, de Spijker inderdaad, was ik even vergeten, thanks!
0:18 Hindenburg?
Я был свидетелем этого действия. Все закономерно. Скорее их первый матч закончился со счетом, который не отображал фактической картинв на поле.
This for me is the best football moment of my life
Tears of joy. Still.
It was a wonderful day for Rinus Michels, who had the worst day of his career in the same stadium 14 years earlier.
Van Basten, nr.1 in HISTORY!!!
18 jaar, na het fluitsignaal met vrienden de Hofvijfer in. Gratis Heineken op de Coolsingel. Wat een een mooie dag was dat.
At 5:51 in slow motion the masterpiece where football takes its highest representation !! He stood still for a while rubbing my eyes thinking he saw a flash (of the big Van Basten)
Great match lots of shots on goal love it
Russia was part of the championship back then. Now it will never be again!
❤🎉من أجمل الأهداف والفرص الضائعة لمنتخب الإتحاد السوفيتي
Och wat een tijd, echt bizar hoe blij iedereen was. Wat een feest, krijg er nog kriebels van en dan ook nog, vooral in die tijd, op de bodem vd vijand de titel halen.
Mis het non modern voetbal, spijkerhard, sokjes omlaag, ongeschoren etc. Bedrijven hebben vooral met geld het voetbal naar de knoppen geholpen.
Mooie tijd, jammer dat het niet meer terug komt.
Ik was in Costa Rica voor een lang weekend en na het stappen meteen gekeken in bed met prettig lokaal gezelschap....
Long live Netherland;(An Afghan refugees(as Hazara people of Afghanistan)!😍🤩🥰💘💌❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍💯👍✌👌
Welcome! As an veteran 6 times Afghanistan been there for 2.5 years. And know how hard your people some times had to push through. Welcome
8 min? 3 minuten voor het voetbal ook maar begint .Waardeloze samenvatting van een verder prachtige finale.
Trio AC Milan Van Basten, Gullit and Rijkaard what a Dream team
Timaço da Holanda, craques como Van Basten e Gullit
That dribbling at 4:18. Amazing
The best Netherlands team , unfortunate not to win world cup!
Group 2 was amazing, apart from England. Ireland played the Soviets off the park in the group and just couldn't get the 2nd killer goal. Then were extremely unfortunate to concede a freakish late goal against the Netherlands, in a game Netherlands had to win. Great tournament.
The goalkeeper for the netherlands (van Breukelen) is so underrated. 2nd best dutch goalkeeper OAT
Number 6: Berry van Aerle.
A great player and a very nice guy!
He won a lot in his career:
1. European Championship
2. Europa Cup 1 (European Cup)
3. Eredivisie (Dutch championship): 5 times
4. KNVB Beker (Dutch Cup): 3 times
5. Johan Cruijff Shield
Not too bad...
Remember this day well. Was 14. Had fish and chips. Went straight to Karate. Vomited at Karate. Watched this game with Dad wanting USSR to win because I was a fan of Dasayev.
Смотрел этот матч в 88-ом, был очень расстроен.
Russian? OK!!!!! Ukraine the team was 80 % Ukraine Dynamo Kyiv, I can Understand...
@@love-vy1rynope, 15 out of 31 were from Dinamo Kyiv, and I remember that Lobanovskiy was heavily criticized for using so many players from his own club.
Great Match
super geweldige tijd was dat,,!!!!
Toen werd er nog echt gevoetbald. Tegenwoordig hebben ze allemaal de theaterschool gehad.
Vanaf Eindhoven tot Amsterdam allemaal mensen op de snelweg, iets wat ik never nooit meer zal vergeten
Ik ben 10 ik was er dus niet bij toen dit mooie moment gebeurden maar als ik hier nar kijk dan zit ik met open ogen te kijken
¡ Gran GOL de Van Basten !
2 tatars, 7 ukranians, 2 Belarusians in the ussr starting 11... so interesting to think abt the diversity
7 Ukrains they will be happy they lost.......than and will win now......
Rinus Michel
El Gran jefe

Fútbol ⚽ Total 👏👏👏🏆
I was in Utrecht at the time trying to get home - but public transport came to a halt because fans where jumping up and down on the roof of buses. Finally I did not care - all the pubs where a sea of orange and finally the dutch lion had conquered. I decided to get drunk like everybody else. Good times.
The total football!!!!
toen de jongens nog ECHT voetbalde
ik was 20.... doelenplein rotterdam zo mooi....
Wie kijk dit nadat het weer niks is geworden in 2024???🤣
prc
@@rockfella1377 ja idd je hebt gelijk😂
Oostenrijk was duidelijk een off-day. Ik had dit ook na die wedstrijd geplaatst dus dan begrijp je wel dat ik geen vetrouwen meer had.😂
@@rockfella1377 was wel kut wedstrijd als je tegen de engelse zo speelt verlies je
@@svebpoleij De Engelsen zijn ook niet al te best hoor, het is in de Premier League vooral de buitenlanders die het mooie voetbal doen.
@@rockfella1377 We hebben helaas verloren, maar we zijn ver gekomen
Die manier van commentaar geven. 'Deee beste voetbalploeg... ...vaaaan Europa... ...oooop dit moment.' Heel grappig, die manier van praten ken ik alleen maar uit de sportverslaggeving.
kijk KPN ,ZIGGO en al die andere providers dit is HD in 1988 . hoe lang zenden jullie dat al uit ? dat terwijl er al jaren 4k/8/K12/k is ga eens inversteren geef die CEO's eens wat minder
Какая красивая речь на русском до начала матча, обращенная не только к болельщикам на стадионе, но и к телезрителям, как знак уважения к Советскому Союзу)
А матч, да победить могли, но все в этот день было против в этот день)
I remember after the match we went outside for a drive in the car ,It was like the whole city dressed in orange and went outside. I mean everyone! (The Hague ,Holland) walking ,driving in cars with orange bed sheets over them hahaha.
Same year VanBasten, Gullit, Rijkard won the European Cup with AC Milan with a 4-0 destruction of Steaua Bucharest. On their way to the final they also beat Real Madrid 5-0
Ik vierde dit op de kruising Laan v Meerdervoort Fahrenheitstraat.
貴重な映像が見れて嬉しい😊
Full HD? No way!
Jammer dat dit tot nu toe onze enige winst was op een Ek/WK. We hebben veel finales gespeeld, maar helaas slechts 1x gewonnen.
The best goal EVER in a final!!!!!
Van Basten would have been the greatest striker of all time if he didn’t get injured and retired so young
5:27 Kan geen voorzet geweest zijn want niemand stond in positie.
Wat een legendarische team alleen maar nederlandse iconen prachtig !!!
Voetbal geschiedenis geschreven 🎉 1988 in Duitsland🥳
Esta selección holandesa se la merecia
Russia was allowed to play back then, They are not anymore and I hope the world will ban Russia for at least 50 years!!!!!!!!!
