As suggested by the Finnster, we’ll vote for the best team ever now.

But we’ll do it in chunks. I hope this will work…

First, the goalies.

The goalie in the best Oranje Ever is:
( polls)

Now the libero:

The best Libero in the Best Oranje Ever:
( surveys)

And the center back next to the libero (”voorstopper”)

Who’s the best central man marker in the Best Oranje Ever?
( polls)

Vote your heart out my friends, next time the full backs and holding midfielders….

Maybe interesting; in 1999 we had festivities in Holland with “Oranje van de eeuw” (Oranje of the century) in wich people could choose their fav all time Oranje and the played a game etc.

Johan Cruijff also made his selection, here it is:

Edwin van der Sar. Ruud Krol, Frank Rijkaard en Ruud Gullit (right back!!!!)

Midfield: Wim van Hanegem, Abe Lenstra, Faas Wilkes en Johan Neeskens

Attack: Piet Keizer, Johan Cruijff en Marco van Basten

—————van der sar—————-
reiziger—f. de boer—-stam—-rijkaard–
gullit——–davids————cocu
bergkamp——van basten——–cruijff

Very tough to leave neeskens out, but this would be my formation. I’d probably sub neeskens in at half for cocu, but I’d preferably put Cocu and Bergkamp in. That’s probably just because I’ve seen them play live. Davids would be the holding mid, and Gullit and Cocu would make runs up the flanks, in a classic 4-3-3 formation.
