The Netherlands entered Euro 2012 as one of the favorites to win the tournament. Their stay in Eastern Europe lasted a little over a week, as they lost all three games in the group stage.
A lack of sharpness, infighting and a number of other problems led to the Dutch demise. The post-mortem has only just started, but the facts are clear: this was the Netherlands’ worst performance at a major tournament in its storied history.
It wasn’t all bad for the Dutch. Their orange-clad fans represented themselves well. They added walls of color and sound to Euro 2012, making for a spectacle before, during and after every game. Instead of letting the Dutch guys have all the fun in Ukraine, a number of pretty women also travelled to take in the Euro 2012 experience. The Dutch players may not matched their own high standards, but the Dutch fans sure did.
