If Turkey hadn't conceded in the 94th minute last Thursday night this result would of virtually put Holland out

Holland are out
They need to rebuild but being a small nation it's going to take some time
The likes of Robben, sneijder and van Persie are clearly on the wane and the new crop aren't up to that level

With the way the Dutch teams produce players, PSV/Feyernoord/Ajax they always have a good crop coming through.
Willems, Martins-Indi, De Vrij are quality young defenders.
Clasie and Depay are top youngsters who have just got moves to Prem clubs.
They'll be fine its just theyve had a shitter.

And of course Holland will have to win both their games. |

It's going to be an interesting tournament Raising it to 24 teams was thought to make it easier for some teams but it looks like Wales and N Ireland will qualify by right. ROI still have it in their own hands. How funny if the only team from these islands not to be at the party was Scotland.  |

Turkey play Czech Republic away and Iceland at home. It'll be tough for Holland, but they do have hope. |

Belgium are the new Holland, everyone and everything falls from grace in the end, the only question is how far they fall and how and how hard they land, that's what this life has taught me  |

Well considering how much the Premium League has spent spunked on Dutch players recently, you really have to wonder what is wrong. The National team or totally overating current Dutch players (Afellay excepted of course).

The National team or totally overating current Dutch players (Afellay excepted of course). Is Memphis Depay £20m better than Aaron Lennon? I do reckon Martial will be twice as good as Depay though, swings and roundabouts!! |

If it's 2 they're mathematicallly out as Max they can go is 16 points which wouldn't be enough |

What about Greece, eh? From winning it to being bottom of the group with no wins and less points than the Faroe Islands (who beat them twice!) In 11 years. Now that's a fall from grace.

Yeah but let's be honest, they really were a very poor team, even when they won it. They scraped through every round (with the help of some iffy refereeing if I remember rightly) and very committed defending. In the final, they were absolutely battered by Portugal. However, they just so happened to have a 6ft3 striker who was half decent in the air, ergo, they scored off a corner and then put 11 men behind the ball. Football is a funny old game, but 9/10, Greece wouldn't have even made it to the final, let alone win the damned thing. |
