Why they might be annoying:

    Three times the bridesmaid. Never the bride!
    Their 2006 World Cup match against Portugal is officially the dirtiest World Cup match ever with 16 yellow cards and four red.
    To add to their feats, they followed it up in 2010 with the dirtiest World Cup Final ever with 14 yellow cards and a red.
    They've had an intense rivalry against Germany stemming from anti-World War II sentiment.
    Their rivalry against Germany hit a rocky moment at the 1990 World Cup when a Dutchman spat on the head of a German twice.
    They had a period of 36 years where they failed to qualify for the World Cup.
    They lost all three of their Group Stage games at Euro 2012.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They're considered to be the best team in the world that has never won the World Cup.
    They won the European Championships in 1988.
    Their intense rivalry against Germany started fading after Euro 1988. In fact their match at Euro 2012 went without any incident at all.
    The team has always featured legendary players like Johan Cruijff, Dennis Bergkamp and Robin van Persie.
