From Wikipedia:
The Dutch national soccer team is the national football team of the Netherlands and is controlled by the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB). It won Euro '88 and reached two consecutive World Cup finals in 1974 and 1978, but lost both finals to their respective host nations, West Germany and Argentina. At the peak of its success in the 1970s, the team was famous for its mastery of Total Football and was nicknamed Clockwork Orange for its precision passing. In the Netherlands the team is colloquially referred to as Oranje (orange), a tribute to the Dutch Royal Family, the House of Orange-Nassau. The team is frequently referred to as Holland, even though Holland is only one region of the Netherlands. It is currently ranked fourth in the FIFA World Rankings and first in the World Football Elo Ratings after defeating Brazil.
