Germany only have Lahm and Ballck who are top quality.
Holland have Van Pussie, Snyder, Robben, De Jong and VDV.

Well, technical players, yes. But are technical players the best players?

For me really its the Netherlands. I have visited the Amsterdam Arena + Ajax academy, its a hugely impressive system. First they seem to formalise the coaching of football at a younger age. But what seems more unique is that they start with coaching, not playing. They spend years with the youngsters, getting them to perfect skill with the ball, close control really.
All other countries is more about playing in a team, in a league - competitive. Of course you can see differences between nations, in Italia players who understand the mechanics of team play and tactics excell, in Spain you see alot of very fast players produced, while in England you see more physically tough players come through. All these have in common a kind of survival of the fittest from the youth leagues. I think the Dutch way is the only way in the modern world to ensure alot of technically excellent players are produced. Because it focuses players on thier technique and perfects it before they have to develop other attributes to be better than other players.

I was actually wondering why i was the only one voting germany after the recent success our our youth teams at ECs and WCs. I mean, i would never have praised our youth system not even 2-3 years ago. But after the DFB (our football association) started to completely restructure the youth system like 10 years ago, put a lot of money into it and esp. after studying successful approaches from other countries, it really started to pay off now that the kids getting into the right age. There were never that amount of young german players in our Bundesliga teams like now. Those 19, 20, 21 yrs old players are popping up everywhere. ANd some of them are very promising kids with high technical and tactical standards.
Just had to edit this after germanys U20 team turned around a 1-2 into a 3-2 vs Ghana with just 10 men after a very harsh red card.
edit2: ok it was nigeria, not ghana, but still ...
