Eternal war: Germany vs Holland

If you find "good killers" in football, it is the Germans. They cut the wings total Orange team in the final of the World Championship, giving the game a new cycle of development. We tells about the difficult relationship between the Dutch and German football. 
In fact, if the Netherlands in 1974, not so fast, many teams have beaten could earn an inferiority complex and did not dare to repeat patterns and best practices By Mihelsa. Copying is not always enforced in football, but all the best to learn first, if you're gonna end up coming to the finish line at the head of the race. The Germans are also partly played in total football, no coincidence then that their Bayern win to the right and left. Each had his own version of the philosophy of Mihelsa - someone did on physics, someone - lyrics. But even now, any decent team plays is totally, no more strict binding to items. 
So the speed is noticeably increased. With all due respect to the great masters of the distant past, but it seems to me that we now have teams from the thirties just there would be no chance against modern. Run at different speeds on different principles. Football has grown over time, as Germany and Holland have grown. Orange at all unique guys is a country the size of a matchbook, gave the world football so much joy! This is because the two countries do not stretch out with accusations of popular sports. The first friendly match against the Dutch and the Germans have played back in 1910, 112 years ago. 
When Holland won with the score 4: 2 but lost after the first half of 1: 2. Before the end of the second world war, the teams have met only in friendlies, then in the late fifties and early sixties the Dutch were frankly slaben′koj team - lost to the Germans, sometimes even larger – a 7: 0 in 1959-m. Strange even, but before the final World Cup 1974 team have not played as many as six years. But after almost every year, began meeting in the final stages of big tournaments. In Argentina, they met in the semifinal group, team Happel Stadion otygryvalas′ twice. As a result, the Dutch had played in the final, and Germany had ceded to Austria and flew out of the tournament. 
It took another twelve years and a formal meeting was held - in the final part of the Portuguese Championship. Holland razed by using van Nistelrooy, the following tour group round Latvia and Bohemia kill chances of Germans on the way out of the Quartet. This turned out to be the last visit, since Germany has changed markedly, still eight years have passed. Although the Dutch they never play as the Germans always wanted once again to relive the moment of triumph over the Netherlands, and for "a Clockwork Orange" each struggle with Bundestim – the last, after all, a small football honour is at stake, but very proud country.

Challenge our defense starts with the attack. If attackers did not help the midfield from the start of the problem as the Defense players. So no matter how much a person plays in protecting three or four. The paradox, but perhaps we should both lose today, to come down from heaven to Earth and know how much there is still to work.
