It's fascinating that Netherlands female team is one of the best in the World while their male team is so weak.

It doesn't help that the only male player I know of isn't playing for the national team anymore for years already if I'm not mistaken. Mark Bult was a huge fan favorite at Füchse Berlin 4 years ago, no idea if he still plays somewhere.

 

At least the women are good :d

I heard it actually was a pretty hard match against Japan in which we were often behind :yikes:

 

I saw the match. Japanese goalkeeper was very good in the first half, and some Dutch were also careless in the attack. But in the second half the Dutch technical and physics superiority prevailed and the team ran over.

    • I'll jump on the off-topic with an unpopular opinion - ice hockey isn't so stamina demanding to justify 25 people rosters. And it doesn't have big playing fields like football or rugby for example, where you'd require so many reserves. 15 field players + 3 goalies should be good. Or 18+3 at max. But 25 is too much imo and the constant substitutes are too much as well.
