At the 1994 world cup we would lose in a close game in the quarterfinals to the later winners: Romario's Brazil.
I believe we could have won that world cup with the amount of talent in the Dutch squad at the time: Frank de Boer, Frank Rijkaard, Danny Blind, Ronald Koeman, Wouters, Winter, Overmars, Jonk, Bergkamp.
If only there wasn't such controversy with the national team at the time. Gullit fell out with Advocaat and retired from international football in 1994, whilest having scored 18 goals and winning the Coppa Italia that year with Sampdoria. He was only 31 years old at the time and he would later say he regreted his actions.
