Having secured capability for Euro 2016, England, Iceland and Czech Republic had motivation to celebrate throughout the weekend. For Netherlands, it was an alternate story.
In the wake of losing 1-0 to Iceland on Thursday, the Dutch were beaten 3-0 by Turkey on Sunday, sliding down to fourth in their gathering.
With just the initial two positions ensuring direct capability for the competition, Netherlands now appear in a bad position.
Hypothetically they could in any case wind up third and meet all requirements for the play-off stage, however just if Turkey lose one of their next two matches.
With their rivals noticing blood, capability is no more in Netherlands' grasp. It appears Euro 2016 may need to proceed without the Dutch.
How has it result in these present circumstances?
Danny Blind assumed control as head mentor in July after the takeoff of Guus Hiddink
At the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Netherlands figured out how to awe companion and adversary alike by completing third, beating the powerhouses of Spain and Brazil along the way.
From that point forward, on the other hand, one noteworthy thing has changed for the Dutch. Louis van Gaal, who was seen by numerous as the driving force behind Netherlands' fruitful crusade, has left to wind up Manchester United supervisor, constraining the men in orange to essentially begin once again.
From multiple points of view, Van Gaal's style of administration and strategies characterized the way the group of 2014 played and carried on.
Take the arrangement, for instance. Typically, the Dutch pride themselves on playing assaulting football in a 4-3-3 development. Van Gaal got rid of this. Settling on a 5-3-2 development, he liked to avoid ownership and play on the counter.
Dutch fans and media reluctantly permitted Van Gaal to execute his irregular strategies, yet just consequently for stone icy results. After the World Cup, the group was relied upon to come back to ordinariness. Guus Hiddink, who succeeded Van Gaal, appeared to understand this, rapidly changing the group back to the old methods for assaulting 4-3-3 football.
Attributable to their 'Aggregate Football' roots, the Dutch say they like to "control" matches. Playing to their qualities, their point is to have the most ownership and sit tight for chances to over-burden rivals in their own particular half with dazzling, assaulting football.
A smart thought in principle, yet something that has demonstrated difficult to execute. Hiddink paid the cost for a keep running of awful results when he was sacked and supplanted by Danny Blind in July.
What's diverse in the squad?
Manchester United winger Memphis Depay had a splendid amusement against Turkey
At first sight, Netherlands' squad appears to be generally the same. Demonstrated veterans, for example, Robin van Persie, Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben still lead from the front, while more youthful players, for example, Daley Blind, Georginio Wijnaldum and Memphis Depay are making up the supporting spine.
A more critical look, nonetheless, uncovers a few splits in the squad's make-up.
The protection, for instance, needs encounter. The prime sample is Porto focus back Bruno Martins Indi, who was sent off in Netherlands' match against Iceland after stupidly fouling Kolbeinn Sigthorsson in an one-on-one duel. The 23-year-old's conduct, fans and media concurred, was amateurish, maybe as a result of his generally youthful age.
At that point there is the brutal truth that their veteran cutting edge may very well be past their prime.
Van Persie, the Premier League's top scorer in the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons, has left Manchester United to join Fenerbahce in Turkey. Sneijder has never entirely coordinated the statures of the 2010 World Cup, when he motivated the Dutch to the last, while Robben appears to be tormented by harm issues.
