7. Something to do with Hendrick Hamel and the crew of the Dutch ship Sparrowhawk, shipwrecked in Korea in 1652.

http://www.godutch.com/windmill/newsItem.asp?id=259
In 1666, after thirteen years of what then had become imprisonment, eight men including Hamel were able to escape. The managed to seize a boat and soon reached Japan where they were able to travel on to the VOC trading mission at Decima, the artificial island in the bay of Nagasaki. Although Japan also was closed of to foreigners, its local rulers and people at least were not unfamiliar with gajin, especially the Dutch traders. Hamel soon after returned to Gorinchem where he died in 1692.

we are not talking about logic here, it's about Korean excuses for the loss:

"Netherland win. How?"
"Hiddink is from Netherland."
"Ah, I see. Yes, Hiddink."

I think it's probably more relevant to say that their current manager, Pim Verbeck, is Dutch.
