Why is the Netherlands world cup uniform orange?
That, my dear reader, is quite simple. It all begins with the person who we all call ''the Father of our land, William of Orange''. He was originally a German noble who got the job of taking care of the Lower Lands (the Netherlands) and was prince (not like King and Prince, but something like the boss there) of Orange, a city in France. Because of that he was known as William of Orange. Many years later when Holland became a Kingdom instead of a Republic the decendents (if I write it in a good way) of William, where the Kings and Queens. They where known as the Oranges (William of Orange -> William II of Orange -> Emma of Orange -> Juliana of Orange -> Beathrix of Orange (William-Alexander of Orange). And because we all luv our dear Queen (Beathrix), we wear about anywhere at a National Event the colour Orange.

It was the West German Franz Beckenbauer who was the coach in 1990 in Italy and played in 1974.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mário Zagallo was in fact the first person to accomplish this with Brazil. He played in the 1958 and 1962 World Cups of which he both won. He went on to coach the legendary 1970 Brazil team to World Cup victory in Mexico. He also coached his country in the 1974 and 1998 World Cups.
I believe Franz Beckenbauer was the second man to achieve this feat and the first European to do so.
