After matchday 3&4 France and Germany are the only teams that could already qualify. They both need to win their two games to get 12 points and be lucky with the other games' results.
Well the Dutch defeat France at home and get a draw away to lead the group. Dutch were missing a number of the older players because of injury and started a young team. This is exactly what they needed to do a year ago! Today they handled the more physical French team with good defending, conceding only one goal off a header from a free kick where Demaris just was not physical enough to challenge the attacker. Dutch need to get much petter at passing into space as they had players open but the passes were too soft.
