UEFA EURO 2012: Netherlands' story

Wesley Sneijder fails to keep his header down as Netherlands are shocked 1-0 by Denmark in their first game

Arjen Robben reacts as Netherlands lose their first UEFA EURO 2012 Group B match


Mario Gomez scores one of his two goals as Germany beat Netherlands 2-1

Rafael van der Vaart scored a wonderful opening goal against Portugal but the Dutch still went on to lose 2-1

Failure to take chances proved to be Netherlands' downfall

Netherlands took the initiative in every game and created plenty of chances

Jetro Willems became the youngest player to appear in a UEFA European Championship finals game when he started against Denmark

Two goals in three matches was a paltry return for a team including the likes of Robin van Persie and Wesley Sneijder

Bert van Marwijk: "Doubt crept into the team after the defeat by Denmark and it remained there. Simple mistakes were made, that annoyed me, but I have also failed."
