    I have seen every one of the aforementioned teams and I would have to say that the team in '74 and in '78 would have beaten the teams from '88 and '98. Even without Cruyff, the team in '78 was quite formidible. Now, the real question for me should be what would be the best starting eleven from all of the great Dutch teams???

    I also was around in '74,'78,'88,'98

    I would have to go for the '74 team but ask me tomorrow and I might say the the '88 team......Would Pele still have been the world's best if he was born 20 years later?? just impossible to know imo
