Dutch roll France 4-1 to advance


BERN, Switzerland (AP) -- Substitute Arjen Robben set up one goal and scored another Friday to lead the Netherlands to a 4-1 victory over France and a place in the quarterfinals of the European Championship.

While the Dutch clinched first place in Group C, the result left France needing a win over World Cup champion Italy in its last match to stand a good chance of advancement.

With a second classic performance in as many games, the Dutch again produced the sparkle any championship craves, compiling a total of seven goals against World Cup finalists Italy and France. The Netherlands beat Italy 3-0 Monday.

The only goal the 1988 champions have conceded came from Thierry Henry, who scored his record 45th goal for France in the 71st minute. Robin van Persie, Dirk Kuyt and Wesley Sneijder also scored for the Dutch on Friday.

"Italy was already so beautiful and this is exactly the same," said Sneijder, who was picked man of the match for the second time in a row. "Super, Italy and France are nothing to laugh at."

The second Dutch goal will be cherished by the Netherlands for years and will haunt the aging French defense. After Kuyt gave the Netherlands the lead in the ninth minute with a header from a corner kick, van Persie finished off an attack in the 59th.

Ruud van Nistelrooy spun some magic with close footwork to send Robben down the left and the counter was on. The winger outran opposition, bided his time and saw van Persie make a run on the right. The Arsenal winger pushed it past Gregory Coupet for the second goal.

After Henry had put the game within French reach with a subtle deflection from a cross from the right by Willy Sagnol, the tension in the 30,000-capcity stadium suddenly was electric.

One minute later, Robben was loose on the left, with France's once-great defender Lilian Thuram ahead of him. Working at twice the pace, he created space and rifled the ball past Coupet high in the net. At 36, Thuram didn't know what happened to him.

In injury time, another great goal to rub it in. Van Nistelrooy served van Persie, who served Sneijder in the center. The Real Madrid midfielder turned his defender and with a curling shot from 20 yards capped another perfect evening.

"Lets build a party now. Not too much because we still need to play the quarterfinals," Sneijder said.

For some spells France at least proved it could still play great football. The French didn't want to be lulled into another bad result like the scoreless draw against Romania, but France coach Raymond Domenech failed to come up with the magic formula for goals.

Even with the return of Henry, the thousands of blue-clad fans in the stands of the Stade de Suisse were left wanting. Henry had his first major action in the 43rd minute and it was well off the mark.

And when the Dutch started to look brittle for the first time in the championships, up stepped standout goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. Ever since making the vital penalty stop to give Manchester United the Champions League title, it seems he can do no wrong. In a five-minute spell late in the half, the 37-year-old van der Sar saved the team three times.

In the second half, the French immediately piled on pressure and appealed for a penalty in the 49th when a shot from close range from Henry appeared to hit Andre Ooijer's arm as he was falling down to block the shot.

06 Sterk Nederland verplettert Frankrijk met 4-1
Nederland heeft op het EK 2008 de kwartfinales bereikt na een ijzersterke partij tegen Frankrijk. Nederland won de spektakelmatch met 4-1. Man van de match was ongetwijfeld Arjen Robben, die na een invalbeurt een assist gaf en later hét doelpunt van het EK scoorde.


U kunt elk doelpunt van deze wedstrijd en een aantal dubieuze fases herbekijken dankzij onze exclusieve Virtual Replay-applicatie.


Nederland schoot het beste uit de startblokken. Na negen minuten kon Dirk Kuyt de 1-0 al keihard binnenkoppen. Daarna kwam Frankrijk opzetten. Gavou, Malouda, Henry en Ribéry kregen kansen, maar kwamen niet tot scoren. Ruststand 1-0.

Gouden wissels
Vers bloed bij Oranje bij het begin van de tweede helft. De van een blessure herstelde Arjen Robben werd in het veld gebracht ten koste van Orlando Engelaar. Even later werd Van Persie ingebracht. Het zouden gouden wissels blijken.

Frankrijk drukte bij het begin van de tweede helft en versierde ook enkele kansen. Frankrijk was op dat moment de betere ploeg, maar Nederland toonde zich op het uur dodelijk efficiënt. Een snelle uitbraak werd -na een assist van invaller Robben- gevolgd door een goal van de eveneens ingevallen Van Persie: 2-0.

Robben
Bij Frankrijk lieten ze het hoofd niet hangen; Sagnol mocht vrij voorzetten naar Henry, die de bal binnentikte: 2-1 en de Fransen weer hoopvol.

Maar amper een minuut later was het moment van Arjen Robben aangebroken. Robben kwam in het Franse strafschopgebied, dolde even met verdediger Thuram en schoot daarna vanuit een scherpe hoek de bal in het dak van het doel: 3-1 (foto). Een on-waar-schijn-lijk mooi doelpunt, dat meteen de doodsteek betekende voor Frankrijk.

Frankrijk kon daarna geen vuist meer maken. Anelka probeerde nog een strafschop te versieren, maar scheidsrechter Fandel trapte er niet in.
Van Nistelrooy en opnieuw Robben kwamen nog dicht bij een doelpunt voor Nederland, maar misten nipt.

Wesley Sneijder maakte Frankrijk in de blessuretijd helemaal af: 4-1.
wat moet ik hier nu neerzetten?

Nederlanders schitteren ook tegen Frankrijk
vr 13/06/08 - Bereid u maar voor op een grote Oranje-gekte, want de Nederlanders zijn al geplaatst voor de kwartfinales van het EK. Na wereldkampioen Italië ging ook Frankrijk voor de bijl in Bern.

Nederland, dat met hetzelfde elftal als tegen Italië begon, breidde meteen een vervolg aan zijn glansprestatie. (AP) In de negende minuut was het al bingo. Kuyt kopte een corner van Van der Vaart hard binnen. Een droomstart voor Nederland.

De Fransen leken klaar voor de slachtbank, maar kwamen halverwege de eerste helft boven water.

Een grootse Van der Sar moest de kansen uit zijn kooi ranselen. Malouda, Govou (foto) en vooral Ribéry kregen de doelman niet van zijn stuk. De hoop van Frankrijk duurt niet lang
Na de pauze had Henry de gelijkmaker aan de voet, maar de Franse topschutter is niet in vorm en lepelde de bal over. (AP) Van Basten had tijdens de rust Robben (foto) ingebracht voor Engelaar en later kwam Van Persie Kuyt vervangen. De twee raspaardjes zorgden voor de 2-0.

Robben kreeg de bal na een fantasietje van Van Nistelrooy. Hij rende naar voren en vond Van Persie, die wel geluk had dat doelman Coupet klungelde.

Henry redde de eer met een slim tikje, maar de mooiste van de avond volgde erg snel. Sneijder lanceerde Robben, die in de onmogelijke winkelhaak scoorde.

In de toegevoegde tijd deed Sneijder de oranje-fans nog eens juichen. Hij krulde de bal mooi over Coupet: 4-1.

Nederland gaat zo naar de laatste acht. Voor Frankrijk en Italië, de finalsiten van het WK 2006, wordt het bibberen
pi_59377930
De spaanse verslaggevers op ESPN zaten alleen maar heel de 2e helft te zeiken over de niet gegeven penalty voor Frankrijk. Over dat de goal van Henry buitenspel was of over dat Nederland gewoon weer goed speelde werd helemaal niks gezegd....

Subliem Oranje topfavoriet na demonstratie tegen Frankrijk
Nederland heeft de zege in de groep des doods al na twee wedstrijden op zak. En dat is niet meer dan logisch, want na Italië kreeg ook Frankrijk voetballes van een oppermachtig Oranje. Les Bleus gingen met liefst 4-1 de boot in. Kuyt had al vroeg voor de openingsgoal gezorgd, maar vooral na de rust verwende Nederland het publiek met enkele oogstrelende counters. De invalbeurt van Arjen Robben bleek een meesterzet van Marco Van Basten. Met een schitterende assist voor Van Persie en een doelpunt uit een haast onmogelijke hoek dirigeerde hij Nederland naar de overwinning. Henry kon de Franse hoop nog even levend houden, maar de Fransen waren gewoon niet opgewassen tegen dit Oranje. En het mooiste doelpunt hielden ze nog voor het einde toen Sneijder de bal heerlijk in doel krulde. Na deze prestatie zijn alle twijfels weggespeeld, dit Oranje kan Europees kampioen worden.

Fransen te afwachtend
Al de hele dag stroomde een enorm legioen oranje voetbalfans samen in Bern. Zij hoopten vandaag al de kwalificatie voor de kwartfinale te mogen vieren en na de puntendeling tussen Italië en Roemenië lag de groepszege zelfs al binnen bereik. Frankrijk begon op dezelfde manier als tegen Roemenië. Les Bleus speelden heel afwachtend en zetten weinig druk op de Nederlanders. Die profiteerden daar al heel vroeg van. Op een hoekschop van Van der Vaart kopte Dirk Kuyt de openingsgoal binnen.

De Fransen begonnen stilaan wel beter te voetballen. Vooral Govou maakte het de Nederlandse verdediging niet gemakkelijk. Eén schot van Govou werd door Van der Sar nog nipt met de voet gered. Henry kwam niet zo vaak in het stuk voor en kon enkel dreigen met een schot dat nipt over ging. Toch moest Van der Sar nog twee keer goed ingrijpen op pogingen van Ribéry en Malouda.
Schitterende doelpunten
Na de rust begon de oranje machine een versnelling hoger te draaien en daar zat de invalbeurt van Arjen Robben voor iets tussen. De Franse onmacht werd na een uur afgestraft door een sublieme aanval van Oranje. Van Nistelrooy gaf de bal op het middenveld met een hakje mee aan Robben, die de hele flank afsnelde en met een perfecte voorzet Van Persie kon bedienen. Coupet zat er slecht bij en net als tegen Italië wist Nederland met een knap staaltje voetbal de voorsprong te verdubbelen.

De wanhopige Franse bondscoach Domenech gooide de jonge Gomis dan maar in de strijd, maar de spits bracht het Franse spel weinig bij. Toch werd het nog heel even spannend, want Henry slaagde erin om één van zijn zeldzame kansen na een knappe voorzet van Sagnol voorbij doelman Van der Sar te trappen. Maar terwijl de muziek nog in het stadion weergalmde, was Robben alweer doorgebroken. Vanuit een haast onmogelijke hoek knalde Robben de bal hoog in doel. Nederland scoort niet alleen vaak, het zijn ook stuk voor stuk mooie doelpunten. De late 4-1 van Wesley Sneijder was daar alleen maar een bevestiging van, een fantastische krul in het dak van het doel.

Topfavoriet
De sterke prestatie tegen Italië was dus geen toeval. Dit Oranje tovert acties op de mat die we tot nu toe van geen enkel ander team hebben gezien. De aanvallende weelde kan Nederland misschien wel leiden naar een tweede Europese titel. Nederland slaagde er toch maar mooi in om zeven keer te scoren tegen Italië en Frankrijk, de twee finalisten van het WK voetbal twee jaar geleden. Vraag is wel wat Nederland met de laatste wedstrijd doet. Met de groepszege op zak valt er niets meer te winnen. Speelt Van Basten met een B-ploeg en gaan de Roemenen zo met een overhoopte kwartfinale lopen? In dat geval is het resultaat in Italië-Frankrijk zelfs van geen belang meer en mogen de Fransen en Italianen hun koffers pakken. (gb)

Arjen Robben celebrates with Nigel de Jong after scoring against France
Netherlands reached the last eight of Euro 2008 and topped Group C with a superb win against France, who are now fighting to survive in the tournament.

Dirk Kuyt headed the Dutch in front after only 10 minutes.

Substitute Robin van Persie turned in Arjen Robben's cross on the hour, before Thierry Henry pulled one back from close range with 19 minutes left.

Robben's angled finish seconds later sunk France and Wesley Sneijder added a fourth from 20 yards in injury time.

The Dutch delivered another masterclass in ruthless finishing and the victory was a tactical triumph for coach March van Basten, who saw substitutes Van Persie and Robben emerge to play a crucial role in the win.

France, like Italy before them, had opportunities against the Dutch but were exposed by the brilliant counter-attacking style that has become the trademark of Van Basten's side.

Italy's earlier draw with Romania leaves them both battling with France to reach the quarter-finals.

And the so-called "group of death" will climax with a mouth-watering repeat of the 2006 World Cup final when France and Italy meet in Zurich on Tuesday, with survival in the tournament the potential prize.

The first goal was always going to prove crucial in Berne - and it was the Dutch who struck after only 10 minutes.

Rafael van der Vaart's corner evaded Henry at the near post and Kuyt out-muscled Florent Malouda to head past Gregory Coupet.

And Kuyt could have added a second shortly afterwards when Lilian Thuram made a mess of Giovanni van Bronckhorst's long ball, but the Liverpool striker lofted his finish off target.

France took their time to settle, but once they did they posed a genuine threat, with Sydney Govou twice shooting straight at Edwin van der Sar and Franck Ribery also forcing a save from the Manchester United keeper.

Dutch coach Van Basten made a change at half-time, replacing the ineffective Orlando Engelaar with Robben.

But it was France who picked up where they left off, with Henry's cross almost setting up Franck Ribery a minute after the re-start.

France then had penalty appeals waved away when Henry's goal-bound shot struck Andre Ooijer's arm, but German referee Herbert Fandel ignored the claims.

Henry was then involved in the game's pivotal moment after 53 minutes when he was sent clear by Malouda's over-head kick. The Henry of Arsenal vintage would surely have finished off the move, but only lobbed well over the bar with Van der Sar stranded.

The Netherlands took advantage of the reprieve to add a second with the sort of lightning counter-attack that destroyed Italy in their first group game.

Robben raced down the left flank and crossed for the incoming Van Persie - who was on for Kuyt - to sweep a finish past Coupet, despite the France keeper getting a hand to the ball.

France were thrown a lifeline with 19 minutes left when Henry beat Van der Sar with the faintest of touches from Willy Sagnol's superb cross - but hope was short-lived.

The Dutch swept downfield immediately and Robben, who had delivered a magnificent cameo, took Sneijder's pass and rifled a finish high past Coupet from a tight angle.

Sneijder then almost created a fourth for Ruud van Nistelrooy with a stunning raking pass that the striker met with a looping header that forced Coupet into a scrambled save.

But Sneijder was not to be denied and rounded off the win with a flourish with a glorious 20-yard finish that flew high past Coupet deep into injury time.

Oranje werpt zich op als favoriet

Nederland is na twee wedstrijden springlevend in de Groep des Doods en heeft zich gisteren bij de laatste acht van Europa geplaatst. Oranje voetbalde lang niet op het niveau van zijn eerste partij, maar invaller Arjen Robben telde Les Bleus uit. Niet alleen Italië ook Frankrijk, de twee WK-finalisten dus, staat nu op de rand van de uitschakeling.
Een schoonheidsprijs verdiende het elftal van Marco van Basten niet, maar dat deerde het Legioen niet. Na een vroege goal van Kuyt moest Van der Sar zijn ploeg overeind houden, maar met de inbreng van de snelle Robben en Van Persie kraakte de hoogbejaarde Franse afweer.

Nederland wijzigde zoals verwacht niet na de eclatante zege tegen Italië. Frankrijk voerde drie wissels door. Evra, Gouvou en Henry waren de nieuwkomers. Vooral de terugkeer van le roi Henry, de topschutter aller tijden van Les Bleus moest de Franse burger moed geven.

Frankrijk incasseerde echter al vroeg een veel te simpele goal. Gallas had geen oog voor de bal bij een hoekschop van Van der Vaart en Kuyt kopte binnen. Onbegrijpelijk voor een ploeg die in zijn vijf jongste partijen de nul had gehouden. Nederland zat op rozen, speelde op balbezit en daagde de Fransen uit om te komen. Dat was niet zo'n goed idee, want zodra Ribéry het tempo optrok bleek dat dit niet het Oranje van de match tegen Italië was. Van der Vaart liep veel, maar kwam weinig aan de bal. Sneijder zat niet in de match en Engelaar werd overlopen.

Ingreep Van Basten

De Fransen accepteerden de uitnodiging en stoomden op Van de Sar af. De Hollandse aanvoerder hield zijn ploeg in zijn eentje op voorsprong. Hij hield achtereenvolgens Govou, Malouda, weer Govou en vooral Ribéry van de gelijkmaker. Een zoevend schot van Henry ging voorbij de kruishoek. Tussendoor ontsnapte Makelele aan een rode kaart, toen hij Van der Vaart een klap uitdeelde. Het liep echter niet bij Oranje, dat blij was ongeschonden de rust te kunnen bereiken. Een ingreep van Van Basten drong zich op. Zoals verwacht was het Engelaar die de rekening betaalde en werd opgevolgd door Robben. Het spelbeeld veranderde niet. De Haantjes bleven komen en Henry had een punt toen Ooijer een schot van Henry met de arm afblokte. Het bleef vrouwen en kinderen eerst in de Hollandse defensie. Malouda maakte Henry met een omhaal vrij, maar de spits van Barcelona plaatste zijn lob over het lege doel. Dit had de gelijkmaker moeten zijn en maakte duidelijk waarom Frankrijk in 2008 slechts vier goals in zes wedstrijden maakte.

Van Persie werd nu ook ingebracht en het Nederlands elftal ging weer ouderwets met echte buitenspelers spelen. Alleen door zelf aan te vallen kon gehoopt worden Les Bleus van het doel van Van de Sar te houden.

Glazen man

Cruijff lachte op de tribunes in zijn vuistje, maar wat een gouden wissel was dit. Robben ontsnapte op links en aan de overkant duwde Van Persie binnen. Frankrijk stond voor een vrij uitzichtloze situatie, maar Henry devieerde een lage voorzet van Sagnol in de verste hoek.

Minder dan zestig seconden later kregen Les Bleus echter een nieuwe uppercut uitgedeeld. Robben knalde met twee verdedigers voor zich vanuit een scherpe hoek fabelachtig in het dak van het doel. Wat een luxe als je over zo'n invaller beschikt. De glazen man van Real Madrid moest zich in de slotfase echter opnieuw laten verzorgen. Sneijder maakte er in de toegevoegde tijd toch nog een afstraffing af en speelt volgende week zaterdag in Bern in de kwartfinale tegen de tweede uit de groep met Spanje.

the sun:
HOLLAND powered their way into the Euro 2008 quarter-finals — and left France facing the exit door.

Goals from Dirk Kuyt, Robin Van Persie, Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder made it seven in two games for the men in orange, with Theirry Henry grabbing the sole response for Les Bleus.

The result means France and Italy face a win-or-bust showdown in their final group game, which could still mean nothing should Romania beat the already qualified Dutch.


Speaking after the game, French boss Raymond Domenech could not hide his disappointment.

He said: “Really this hurts. Our defense was always our strength. We were unlucky at times. But they have quality and we were missing something."

While Holland kept faith with the team beat Italy 3-0 in their opener, France dropped Eric Abidal, Nicolas Anelka and Karim Benzema following the 0-0 draw with Romania.

Patrice Evra, Sidney Govou and fit-again Thierry Henry returned to action — but with just nine minutes on the clock their plans were in tatters.

Gio Van Bronckhorst fired in an inswinging corner from the right and Liverpool ace Kuyt headed home under a weak challenge from Florent Malouda.

The goal saw Holland step on the gas, with Sneijder and Kuyt both having the chance to increase the scoreline.

France eventually mustered a genuine chance in the 23rd minute, when Govou’s near-post effort drew an instinctive stop from Edwin Van der Sar.

That effort spurred on the men in Blue, with Malouda, Govou and Franck Ribery all bringing decent saves out of the Dutch keeper.

Holland held on until half-time and eight minutes after the break French pressure produced the best chance of the game.

Henry powered past the offside trap but sent his lob horribly over the bar from Malouda's lofted through ball.

But moments later half-time substitute Arjen Robben broke down the left and crossed the ball for Robin Van Persie to smash home a volley off Coupet.

Henry had looked like dragging his side back into it on 71 minutes, finishing a low cross from Willy Sagnol with a cheeky flick — a goal reminiscent of his Arsenal days.

But a minute later Robben, after seemingly running down a blind alley in the box, fired a stinging shot into the roof the net from an impossible angle.

That strike proved the killer blow, before Sneijder netted a stunning injury-time strike from the edge of the box to put a gloss on things for Marco van Basten's side.

After the game, French striker Henry admitted their fate is now firmly in the hands of Romania.

He said: "The scoreline is tough if you look at the match but they did the same as they did against Italy, they relied on counter-attacks.

“We created some chances but the Dutch took theirs beautifully. We played quite well and now we have to beat Italy and hope Romania don’t beat the Dutch.”

The Dutch demolition machine rampaged on tonight in Berne, thrashing France 4-1 to qualify top of the Group of Death. Goal.com analyses the individual performances...
»Comments (10) Print This Story Send To A Friend Contact Us galleria zoom Netherlands


Van der Sar: 7 - Made some solid stops, particularly midway through the first half, and looked dependable throughout.

Boulahrouz: 9 - Brilliant! Made several perfect challenges and gave Malouda no joy down the left hand side, or Evra, or even Ribery when he came over to that side as well. An incredible showing from the Chelsea man. Will Scolari be interested in hanging onto him now?

Ooijer: 8 - The player of the first half. Very quick to close down any French attacks and stayed tight to his man. His overcommitment occasionally almost left him exposed, but his was a performance tailor-made for the day.

Mathijsen: 5.5 - A little off the pace on the odd occasion and was caught out regularly when the French roved forward.

Van Bronckhorst: 7 - Had a stern test up against the vibrant Sidney Govou and often Franck Ribery doubling up as well, but he coped very well with a tenacious performance.

De Jong: 7 - Stuck in there to his credit, but could not impose himself on the game as he would have liked.

Engelaar: 5 - Surprisingly off-colour after a very good first game against Italy. Misplaced passes and was not as big a presence in stopping the dynamic Franck Ribery. Was substituted at half time.

Kuyt: 7.5 - Tenacious as ever playing down the right hand side. A well-taken header, in the right place at the right time from close range from a corner kick.

Van der Vaart: 7 - Smart passing as usual, not quite as expansive and marked tighter than he was against Italy.

Sneijder: 8 - Like Kuyt, worked tremendously hard down his flank, doubling up to assist van Bronckhorst on defensive duty brilliantly. Good pace when breaking forward and scored an absolute beauty in the dying seconds.

Van Nistelrooy: 8 - Moved very freely and held the ball up brilliantly for his side all over the pitch. Did not get into the box as much as he would have liked against a very disciplined French rearguard. Amazingly, he didn't score, but he showed several touches of pure class, including two 360-spins that would have made Cruyff himself proud.

Substitutes

Robben: 8.5 - A magnificent performance off the bench. His devastating pace put the French to the sword and his tight-angle blast gave the Dutch the initiative back after having just conceded.

Van Persie: 8 - Full of energy and was in the right place at the right time to thump home the second goal. An ambitious substitution that paid off.

Bouma: 6.5

France


Coupet: 5.5 - Made a couple of good stops and was powerless to stop the first and last goal. He would have done extremely well to stop the second, but ultimately should have been able to keep out the third from Robben, which went over his head at the near post.

Sagnol: 7 - Got up and down his flank to decent effect. Was better than against Romania, but did not win his duel with Sneijder in the Dutch half or his own. Provided a smart ball across goal for Henry to touch home.

Thuram: 3 - Had a nightmare and looked every one of his 36 years. Was not quick or sharp enough and was even out-muscled and caught out of position from time to time. With no Mexes to step in, it's likely he will nevertheless retain his place in the side against Italy..

Gallas: 6.5 - Was strong at the back and, unlike Thuram, had the athleticism to keep pace with the Dutch forwards. Could have done little to stop the goals that punished his side on the break.

Evra: 7 - Looked a great fit in the side. Not afforded as much offensive freedom as usual but his defensive discipline was a testament to his all-round ability as a full-back.

Govou: 7.5 - A great addition to the team down the right wing and worked tremendously hard for his side. Had a few half chances and the Dutch a number of problems.

Toulalan: 7 - Grew into the game and was solid defensively, also playing neat and tidy passes throughout. Became overrun towards the end of the game.

Makelele: 6 - Made some horrible challenges but otherwise played quite well, full of energy and not allowing the Dutch too much freedom. Did not give up until the end.

Ribery: 7 - Lively and full of running but too selfish at crucial moments. Has not yet provided the magic spark he did for Bayern this season.

Malouda: 5 - Barring a few moments where he showed the skill we all know him to have, Malouda had a poor game. He gave the ball away far too often and was not incisive enough with his running or passing.

Henry: 6.5 - Some good movement but ultimately was kept out of the game for far too long, which is hardly his own fault. Had a big miss with the score at 1-0, but did pull back a smart goal to make it 2-1, only for the Dutch to add another less than a minute later.

Brilliant Dutch thrash France to qualify

(CNN) -- Netherlands thrashed France 4-1 in the match of the tournament so far in Berne to secure their place in the quarterfinals by finishing top of Group C.
art.dutch.gi.jpg

Dirk Kuyt (right) celebrates his opening goal as the Dutch destroyed France 4-1 in a superb match in Berne.

France still have a chance of qualifying, but they will need to beat Italy and hope Romania fail to defeat the Dutch in their final match.

For the second time in four days the rampant Dutch produced an attacking masterclass.

Dirk Kuyt opened the scoring and Robin van Persie, Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder added others after the break as Marco van Basten's in-form team sank the French in the same way they did world champions Italy here on Monday.

Les Bleus' consolation came through Thierry Henry on his return to the team, but even their revered defense could not handle the pace of their opponents' attacks.

France meet Italy on Tuesday but they both may be eliminated if Romania, who are second in the group, defeat the Netherlands on the same night.

The Dutch, meanwhile, will now have to cope with the tag of tournament favorites after disposing of the two World Cup finalists of 2006 in sensational style, scoring seven goals in the process.

It took just eight minutes for the Dutch to carry on where they left off against the Italians. Rafael van der Vaart sent in a corner in from the right and Kuyt beat Florent Malouda in the air to head home at the near post.

France coach Raymond Domenech, who had reverted to a 4-2-3-1 formation in bringing Patrice Evra, Sidney Govou and fit-again Henry back, would have been alarmed at the defending for the goal.

The Dutch were posing all sorts of problems early on, Sneijder firing just over in the 15th minute and then Kuyt poking a shot over the bar when free in the area after he pounced on a weak Lilian Thuram header.

However, France hit back and created a host of half-chances in the final 20 minutes of the half. Their first sight of goal came when Govou's near-post effort drew an excellent save from Edwin van der Sar.

Three more opportunities fell to the French in the space of a few minutes -- Malouda, Govou and Franck Ribery all bringing decent stops out of van der Sar with low drives.

Henry curled wide from 15 meters with the last opportunity of the half but at the start of the second period, he thought he had earned his side a penalty.

Govou's driven cross-shot was deflected into his path and the Barcelona striker's goalbound effort was blocked by the hand of Andre Ooijer, but German referee Herbert Fandel only gave a corner.

Henry had an immediate chance to exact his revenge but having been put clean through in the 53rd minute by Malouda's spectacular pass, the former Arsenal skipper sent his lob way over.

His miss was punished on the hour mark when two of the Netherlands' second-half substitutes, Robben and van Persie, combined to put the Dutch further ahead.

The goal originated from some sublime skills by Ruud van Nistelrooy on the touchline and his Real Madrid team-mate Robben took the ball on.

His perfect cross from the left found van Persie, whose volley crept over the line despite the best efforts of France goalkeeper Gregory Coupet.

Henry finally got his goal in the 70th minute when he glanced home a cross from the right from Willy Sagnol but, within seconds, Robben had restored the Netherlands' two-goal cushion.

The left-winger ran onto Sneijder's through-ball down the left channel, earned himself a bit of space against Thuram and drove home a powerful drive from a narrow angle into the roof of the net.

The impressive van Nistelrooy almost got himself on the scoresheet with seven minutes left with a looped header, but it was clawed out by Coupet.

It was left for Sneijder to add the cherry on the cake, with his superb curling shot from 20 meters out giving Coupet no chance.

"We were missing a lot of things, namely scoring," Domenech said. "We had more chances, we opened them up really well.

"But we were not efficient and that has been our recurring problem for a while now. You can't do much about that," he added.

Bold Dutch rewarded as France left on brink

Orange aid: Van Persie meets a left-wing cross by Robben to score within four minutes of his arrival as a substitute (EMPICS Sport/PA Photos)

Martin Samuel, Chief Football Correspondent, Berne
A goal up against France with 45 minutes to go, most coaches would look to protect the lead. A rare few would dare to go farther and Marco van Basten, coach of Holland, is one such man. Last night he was rewarded with a convincing victory that sent his team into the quarter-finals as the first group winners of Euro 2008.

The battle for top place in the group of death, far from going to the wire, is over with a match to spare. Holland cannot be caught now and, indeed, are in such a position of strength that a full reserve team could be fielded in the final match with Romania on Tuesday. For France, and Italy, the end is nigh. If Romania beat the Dutch in that final game, the World Cup finalists of two seasons ago will exit at the first stage. Depending on news from the other group game, the match in Zurich could become a meaningless fight to avoid the wooden spoon.

Holland won convincingly here because Van Basten gambled at half-time by replacing Orlando Engelaar, the defensive midfield player, with Arjen Robben, the winger, and the coach reaped a handsome reward. Robben set up one goal, with an excellent run for his fellow substitute, Robin van Persie, to score his first goal of the tournament, and scored another with a stunning finish on the left. The fourth, in injury time, for Wesley Sneijder was the pick of the night in technique but, by then, an irrelevance. The game was over long before.

In between Robben’s interventions, Thierry Henry had given France brief hope of a revival with a goal in the 70th minute, but it was nowhere near enough. Raymond Domenech’s side knew the penalty for failure to win here and it made no difference. Their fate is in the hands of a team with nothing left to play for, Holland, and another for whom winning will be everything, Romania. That adds up to one thing, and it looks as if France and Italy can begin preparing for a summer on the beach.

If the opening fixture against Italy had been a night for the stellar talents in the Holland team, the first half here belonged to the bread-and-butter men. Edwin van der Sar, the goalkeeper, and Dirk Kuyt, the striker who has selflessly converted to an outside right for club and country, reprising his Liverpool role to great effect.

Kuyt was one of the most underrated players in the Barclays Premier League last season. Often the scapegoat when things went awry, he performed a vital and frequently thankless role in Rafael Benítez’s system, starting wide but expected to link quickly with the front man from deep, a position that is hard for defenders to monitor. It led to important goals, such as the one against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the Champions League, and a number of nights when his contribution, though less than eye-catching, was invaluable. Equally, on occasions, his persistence went unnoticed and if Liverpool failed to win, he looked ineffectual, a goalscorer without a sniff of goal, when in truth his role was considerably more complex than that.

Played to perfection against France here, Kuyt combined the best of both worlds. His striker’s instinct secured Holland’s lead after just ten minutes, the rest of the time he worked tirelessly to stop France bringing the ball out on the left through Patrice Evra, of Manchester United. His workrate was outstanding and his team ethic impressive; he trailed Evra into Holland’s half at times, yet was quickly available to stretch the France defence if Holland broke, which they frequently did.

What Holland demonstrated last night was that they could play a variety of ways and score many ways, too. The goal that rocked France after a healthy start was a simple set-piece, impressively converted by Kuyt, even if the defence against Rafael van der Vaart’s corner was a joke.

Florent Malouda, detailed to mark Kuyt, forgot only one thing: to challenge for the ball when it arrived. Instead of making an attempt to go against his man in the air, he did that prissy wrestling thing that passes for resistance these days, grappling with him when a proper physical confrontation would have led to him putting his head where it might get hurt. Kuyt treated Malouda’s attention with the contempt it warranted and got in front of him as any instinctive goalscorer would, delivering a powerful header from close range that left Grégory Coupet, in the France goal, with no chance.

Indeed, the strength of Holland’s front players seemed to cause a constant problem for the French and in the twentieth minute, Kuyt could have put them two clear when a long ball by Giovanni van Bronckhorst was poorly dealt with by Lilian Thuram, his header almost putting the forward in again, but he shot over under pressure.

Holland’s goal had certainly taken the wind out of French sails and, despite early possession, it was not until the 22nd minute that they mounted an attack of significance. Willy Sagnol played the ball in to Sidney Govou and the Lyons forward controlled it on his chest before hitting a low shot that Van der Sar saved with his feet. The Holland goalkeeper may not be as flamboyant as some here, but he looks the best and has carried on where he left off for Manchester United, the final act of his club season being the penalty shoot-out save from Nicolas Anelka that landed the European Cup.

Now playing with more confidence, not to mention a growing desperation at their predicament, France came at Holland through the heart of midfield and three times in two minutes, Van der Sar had to be on his mettle to save, first from a shot by Malouda, then after a fantastic move involving Malouda, Franck Ribéry and Thierry Henry, which fell to Govou. Finally, Ribéry cut inside and struck a fierce shot, but Van der Sar was its equal. In the 42nd minute, Henry turned and shot from a through-ball by Claude Makelele, but the waywardness of his effort was a sign of growing France frustration.

Then, at the start of the second half, came the two events that the French will claim turned the game. In the 48th minute, a Govou shot was deflected to Henry and he let fly from close range, André Ooijer charging the ball down on its way to goal. French appeals and protests were instant and replays did show that the shot had struck Ooijer on a raised arm as he threw his body in the way, but Herbert Fandel, the German referee, was having none of it. It looked a harsh decision, even if there was no deliberate attempt to play the ball illegally by Ooijer. No flint-hearted official to blame for France’s next moment of misfortune, however, a good scoring chance for Henry, left one on one with Van der Sar only to lob over. Had they gone in, it could have been very different. Instead, the fate of France is no longer in French hands. Allez, oops.

The Guardian

Euro 2008 is Holland's playground. Their football gleams with confidence and, even when France rallied, a third goal was rustled up at once. With this victory Holland have won Group C, with Sweden possible opponents in the quarter-final. Wesley Sneijder's lovely 20-yard shot in stoppage-time was a flourish to round off the night. Considering the impact of Arjen Robben as a substitute, these are opponents to be dreaded.

A tournament of this snappy sort is like a season set at fast forward. Expectations and moods change in a moment. So it is that France, initially among the favourites, were suddenly in subdued mood after the 0-0 draw with Romania on Monday. A coach's reactions to disappointment are also accelerated. Raymond Domenech made three changes to the line-up, reflecting a desire for immediate remedies.

No longer could he be patient and trust in the potential of young Karim Benzema. There was as little faith in Nicolas Anelka. Eric Abidal, in this situation, was too staid a left-back. Sidney Govou, Thierry Henry and Patrice Evra took the field in place of those three.

Domenech's opposite number had not been driven to such fevered calculations. This is a good time for Marco van Basten, who retained the line-up from his opening match here. He will be Ajax's manager next season, so there is a certain liberty to a competition without consequences for him. The side, too, is free, unchained after that meeting with Italy turned into a 3-0 caper. Their opener against France came from a set piece rather than fluid invention but Holland are most likely convinced that everything will now work for them.

France did not present a daunting barrier in the 10th minute. A corner was swung over and, with Florent Malouda a bystander, Dirk Kuyt headed past Grégory Coupet. At Liverpool he usually looks more earnest than lethal but he seems to have a different sense of himself with his country. It was his header, after all, which led to the crashing volley from Sneijder that put Holland 2-0 up against Italy.

It looked for a moment as if he would capitalise on a further French error when an off-balance Lilian Thuram inadvertently glanced the ball towards him but Kuyt, stretching to connect, could not hit the target in the 20th minute. For him and everyone else this was, inevitably, a more conventional sort of game than the meeting with Italy. There was a trace of fractiousness and Claude Makelele got a yellow card as he swung an arm more than once to shake off Rafael van der Vaart.

By degrees, France improved. Holland's defence was yet to concede goal at Euro 2008 but it does not look impregnable. Govou shot against the legs of Edwin van der Sar after 23 minutes. With half an hour gone, France had a rapid series of drives, with Franck Ribéry responsible for the best of them as Van der Sar grasped the ball at the second attempt.

Much depended on the Bayern Munich midfielder Ribéry and the French line-up did not perform like a well integrated unit. Henry had been subdued as an isolated striker, although he did shield the ball from André Ooijer on the verge of the interval before spinning to put an effort narrowly over the bar.

At the outset of the second half his rising influence was reflected in a foul on him that brought a booking for Ooijer. France had troubles to endure in a revival that would falter. A Govou effort deflected to Henry and his shot struck the arm of Ooijer but the contact was accidental.

Athough Henry was apparently ruled off-side incorrectly soon afterwards, his finish had gone high. It was Holland who re-emerged to punish France with their accuracy. Far from seeking to protect a 1-0 lead, Van Basten had removed a holding player, Orlando Engelaar, and introduced Robben for the second half. So much for the claims that this coach has mislaid the boldness of his predecessor.

After 59 minutes, a fine flick by Ruud van Nistelrooy released Robben and Robin van Persie's shot from an impeccable cutback ran into the net despite brushing the hand of Coupet on the way. Robben was so irrepressible after coming on that he smothered a French revival sparked by Henry, who touched home a low ball from Willy Sagnol.

Within seconds, however, Van der Vaart had freed Robben to score with a rising drive. It looks as if neither he nor his side can be held in check.

Ik begreep van mijn vader die in Frankrijk keek dat de Fransen er tot de 80ste minuut nog wel een beetje in geloofden maar dat ze zich uiteindelijk konden schikken in een nederlaag tegen deze ploeg.

Ik begreep ook dat er daar tijdens de wedstrijd ruimte is voor analyse. Wat een verademing tov Nederland waar je alleen commentaar krijgt.
