Total Football lasted only a few seasons in that pure form, 1974 to 1978, and both finals it reached were lost.

Two more World Cup finals followed without a win — 1978 and 2010 — and a third-place finish in 2014 under Louis van Gaal, who had also managed the side through the 2010 run. Guus Hiddink and Rinus Michels, the coach most associated with Total Football's original shape, are among the others who have taken charge; Xavi Hernández, a player rather than a Dutch product, was appointed more recently.

Memphis Depay sits atop the goalscoring list, and Virgil van Dijk has captained the side through a period in which the closest rival on the calendar remains Germany, in the fixture known as the Duits-Nederlandse derby. The stadium holds 56,120.
