Match 14 : Netherlands vs France : Report
From round 1,Netherlands had astoundingly beaten Italy and France had a rusty draw with Romania.Two changes for France with Henry coming in instead of Benzema and Anelka and Patrice Evra in the defence.
Netherlands started off with great speed and were up in the 10th minute with a goal from Kuyt who headed the ball in from a corner.
[VIDEO]
Van Basten's attack minded substitution was made visible when he replaced a defensive midfielder Engelaar with Robben who is more of attack minded and dazzling midfielder with immaculate ball control.
The change reflected in the 59th minute when a great skill to save the ball by Van Nistelrooy from going out fell to Robben who ran from the left to square the ball for Van Persie to finish,another fast break from the Dutch and another goal.France,where is the defense?
[VIDEO]
France got a lifeline with Thiery Henry's lightest of touches to get France back in the game.France score the first of the campaign,Netherlands concede their first too.
[VIDEO]

[VIDEO]
