The Netherlands and Sweden continue their quest for World Cup glory today in Houston.

Tuned up for a midweek clash with the United States, Sweden have comfortably finished off Tunisia 5-1 in their opening game, while the Netherlands had an exciting tie with Japan, finishing 2-2.

All four teams are playing today, and it may be a pivotal day for who makes it to the knockout stages.

When The Netherlands make the World Cup stage, they can’t help but be reminded of the “Clockwork Orange”. The 1970s’ famous side, spearheaded by Johan Cruyff, revolutionised football with a philosophy rooted in movement, intelligence and collective responsibility.

Today the Netherlands looks different, but the charms of Total Football remain with the national team. The faith is that it will be able to control possession, dominate space and get answers technically.

I’ve witnessed that orange spirit first-hand in Brazil, during the 2014 World Cup. From the stands the Dutch fans did their dutch and as the “Clockwork Orange” was brought to life it was evident that this team’s identity was also that of the fans, who follow the shirt around the world.
