You guys got a much better coach in Uli Stielike.
Van Marwijk has been an average coach who took Netherlands to the World Cup final in 2010 simply because players like Sneijder (5 goals), Van der Vaart, Van Bommel, Robben and Stekelenburg had the forms of their life and were top class players during that tournament. Two years later he miserably failed to get past the group stage at EURO 2012.

Yea because Saudi FA unlike IFF has every possible means available to them to get the best coach in the world. What hinders their development is lack of gifted players like Iran. So basically buying a Ferrari to be driven by guy who just got his license !
