It is a significant fall for the Netherlands

The Netherlands were plunged into a veritable crisis after Sunday’s 3-0 loss in Turkey left their Euro 2016 qualification hopes in tatters with the local press declaring it as the end of an era. New coach Danny Blind said the team had “shot ourselves in the foot” with individual errors in the defeat in Konya, which followed on a 1-0 home loss to Iceland on Thursday.

The two losses in Blind’s first two games left the Dutch floundering in fourth place in Group A, needing to overhaul a two-point deficit on third placed Turkey with two games to play in October to have any chance of reaching the Euro 2016 finals via the November play-offs.
