This Germany v Netherlands hoodie from Players Couture is for fans who love World Cup history and want to wear a meeting of two great football nations. Fan apparel built around one of international football's most intense rivalries. The 1988 European Championship had produced one of the classic knockout victories in tournament history when the Netherlands beat West Germany 2-1 in Hamburg in the semi-final, with Marco Van Basten's volley one of the most celebrated goals in international football. Two years later at Italia 90, they met again in the group stage. West Germany won 2-1 in a fractious, physical encounter that featured the controversial incident between Rudi Voller and Frank Rijkaard that earned both players red cards. The match was a reminder of how intense the rivalry between these two nations had become. West Germany went on to win the 1990 World Cup, beating Argentina 1-0 in the final in Rome with an Andreas Brehme penalty. The Netherlands were eliminated in the second round. But the group stage meeting between the two nations was one of the most anticipated and most discussed matches of the tournament.
