After the 2006 World Cup in Germany, where they were eliminated in the round of 16 — by Portugal in a match historically known as the \u003cstrong\u003e\"Battle of Nuremberg\"\u003c\/strong\u003e — the \u003cem\u003eOranje\u003c\/em\u003e resumed under the guidance of Marco van Basten, who became coach.

It's the version worn on the field or marketed identically for the most demanding fans — neat finishes, technical fabric designed for performance, embroidered details specific to \u003cstrong\u003eNike\u003c\/strong\u003e at the time.
