The Netherlands national football team (Dutch: Nederlands nationaal voetbalelftal) represents the Netherlands in association football and is controlled by the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB), the governing body for football in the Netherlands. The current manager is Bert van Marwijk. The football team is colloquially referred to as Oranje, as a tribute to the House of Orange-Nassau, or Holland, referring to the country itself. In Dutch people colloquially speak of het Nederlands elftal (the Dutch eleven).The Netherlands played their first international match in Antwerp against Belgium on 30 April 1905. The players were selected by a five-member commission from the Dutch football association. After 90 minutes, the score was 1–1, but because the match was for a trophy (the "Coupe van den Abeele"), the game went into extra time, in which Eddy de Neve scored three times, making the score 1–4 for the Dutch side.
The Netherlands made their first appearance at the World Cup final tournament in 1934, and after coming back in 1938,
