    Yes, and at the 1992 Euro. Which is part of the reason why WC '90 is such a head-scratcher. Actually the worst of WC '90 were the draws with Egypt and Ireland.

    Group advancement record on end tournaments after the dark early 1980's:
    • 1988 advanced from group
    • 1990 advanced from group
    • 1992 advanced from group
    • 1994 advanced from group
    • 1996 advanced from group
    • 1998 advanced from group
    • 2000 advanced from group
    • 2002 failed to qualify
    • 2004 advanced from group
    • 2006 advanced from group
    • 2008 advanced from group
    • 2010 advanced from group
    • 2012 failed to advance from the group

    Over this period only Germany can rival Netherlands in this department. They never failed to qualify but did fail to pass the group in 2000 and 2004. I don't see that much hiding to be honest.

    @DRB300 I don't always make it to the end of your sometimes quite lengthy posts, but this one is top notch! Cheers.

    Speaking of winning mentality: Look at some of the reactions to winning all those gold medals in Sochi and how most of 'us' still managed to find stuff to complain about. What would our country do, if our most treasured subject of complaints was to to be taken away from us by eleven spoiled boys in Orange??? :);):D

    I really hope Robben scores 12 more goals and reach a tally of 40 goals!! That will be amazing! Maybe is a little dream but he can easily scores 6 more goals in the match remaining for the qualification plus some goals in friendlies and of courses 3 o 4 goals in the EC 2016:D
    Cheers!
