AMSTERDAM: The Netherlands missed out on the last two major tournaments so they will be looking to make up for lost ground at Euro 2020 but with a side who still have an air of inconsistency about them. Failing to qualify for Euro 2016 in France and the World Cup in Russia two years later was a blow for a country who were near the top of world football as runners-up at the 2010 World Cup and third in Brazil four years later. They bounced back by finishing second in the inaugural Nations League in mid-2019 and lost only one game in the Euro 2020 qualifiers. But performances have been up and down they have beaten England, France and Germany in the last three years but just months ago lost 4-2 in Turkey after a poor showing. Five coaches over the last seven years attests to the turmoil, while the team has struggled to find replacements for the likes of match-winners like Arjen Robben and Robin van Persie.
