Default France 2-0 Netherlands

Tonight les Bleus beat de Oranje in Paris! Granted this was just a friendly, but nice nonetheless.

That's not much of an achievement anymore as it used to be. /

P.S. "het Oranje" if you want to use an article. But best not to use any in this case. It's a proper noun.

France winning a football match actually is an achievement.

That's true, and that makes the dutch performance even worse. But to be honest was the first goal a mistake of the goalkeeper, because it wasn't a tricky shot and he had more than enough time to respond. And after that our only midfielder got injured, and they played like utter crap because of the goal and the lack of Strootman.

Correction. Both time it was the coach to blame, because he should've fielded an experienced goalkeeper from the english premier league and should've selected Nigel de Jong as a backup, who could've come in instead of Strootman. That guy is a complete tool, yet brilliant at the same time. There's a minor chance he gets his shit together before june, but I'm not counting on it. This was the worst match I've ever seen the national team play, and for the most part that's because he has picked the wrong players. The upside is that he's being succeeded by Hiddink, who isn't afraid of picking the good players. Holland for European champion 2016!

Hey, that will be our Euro. Hands off!

Hmmm, come to think that we also won in 2000, in Belgium/Netherlands, so... how much would you pay to let you win it?
