Netherlands Thrash France

Netherlands give France a lesson in playing counter-attacking football and gave them a thrashing. The win meant the Netherlands have finished top of the 'group of death' Group C and have qualified for the quarter-finals.

The Netherlands opened the scoring when Dirk Kuyt headed in on 10 minutes. Robin van Persie turned in Arjen Robben's cross on 60 minutes, before Thierry Henry pulled one back from close range after 71 minutes.

The Dutch weren't finished with scoring and seconds later Robben's finished from an unbelievable angle. Wester Sneijder sealed the win with the fourth goal a 20 yard stunner in injury time.

With this performance the Netherlands have to be favourites to win the Euro 2008 tournament as they've outplayed both teams that reach the final of the last World Cup.

Result

Netherlands 4-1 France
