The highest victory in history of Dutch national football team was a 11:0 six years ago against San Marino. The Dutch also needed a success of about this magnitude on Saturday evening in Belarus, in order to be able to continue to calculate real opportunities, next Tuesday against Sweden perhaps still leap into playoffs and from re to World Cup to be created in Russia next year. But Belarusians are a different caliber than San Marino. The Dutch had to settle for a flattering 3:1 (1:0) victory by a Arjen seal six minutes before end of foul penalty and a hit by Memphis Depay in rematch period. Now you need your win absolutely against Sweden.
The game in Borisov norast of capital Minsk had not even begun, when Dutch already had jaw folded down. Their hope of competing with m acutely for second place in group could be in Solna against Luxembourg, or at least with scoring difficult, did not meet at all. Even before Dutch began ir last group match, Swedes had already won 8:0 against Luxembourg. A result like lead for legs of Dutch. And so y played too.
A win with seven goals difference must be madeBefore her final qualifying match on Tuesday evening in Amsterdam arena against Swedes is now clear: Nerlands must win a difference with at least seven goals in order to reach second group place. According to points, y would catch Swedes in a win and even in direct comparison y would be better, but unlike in UEFA competitions such as Champions League, World Cup qualifier does not include direct comparison, but goal. In fact, everything suggests that Nerlands, after European Championship tournaments 1984 and 2016 as well as World Cup tournaments 1986 and 2002, Miss a big tournament for fifth time in ir recent association history.
In starting were five Premier League Legionnaires (Daryl Janmaat, Virgil van Dijk, Daley Blind, Mathurin Wijnaldum, Davy Pröpper), who worked in Istanbul, striker Vincent Janssen and Ryan Babel, Barça finalist Jasper Cillessen and Feyenoord-left outside Tonny Vilhena-and two Bundesliga players: Internal defender Karim Rekim of Hertha BSC and left assailant Arjen Robben of FC Bayern. Robben acted as a captain, but it was practically impossible for him to propel Darbende Elftal, which has been in this important game for three years, into a productive performance.
Robben turns a questionable penaltyPröpper brought field-superior Dutchman in 24th minute with 1:0 in lead, but y failed to make any furr hits. The consumed on nerves. Instead of being able to expand lead, y had to take 1:1 compensation by Maksim Waladsko in 54 minute. Bas Dost and Memphis Depay were new to game, but it took 84 minute of a dubious foul penalty to win victory, which is no longer possible. After Dost had gone to ground in melee, Robben turned penalty. Shortly before end, a shot of Belarusians clapped crossbar. In second minute of season, Depay hit 3:1 by free kick. The itty-bitty chance of World Cup still lives on, but prospects for an edge victory on Tuesday are neverless minimal.
The desperate Torhatz in Borisov accompanied on bench coach dick Advocaat and his assistant Ruud Gullit with an intensive dialogue. But perhaps y only discussed what y intend to do in future, because a future at top of national could have already been completed next Tuesday.
