They're probably still seething that Holland have got this far and can't wait to make the completely ridiculous comparison between working with a limited amount of dutch youngsters and Manchester United.

It's ridiculous how much the narrative has changed, tbh.
They've gone from trying to take the piss out of the Dutch 'nobodies' that Van Gaal selected, to claiming how they would fail to get out of the group after being embarrassed by Spain and Chile, to arguing how Holland haven't beaten anyone decent, to now saying he's got the luxury of working with Van Persie and Robben.
If van Gaal actually ends up doing the incredible and taking this Dutch squad to the World Cup Final, he won't get an ounce of praise; instead it will all be about how 'negative' he's been and how he's supposedly fluked his way past average opposition.
