Never Netherlands
They made England look decent. The Oranje are still firmly in the doldrums and friendly football isn't going to spark a revival.
Debate rages as to what we learnt about England on Friday night but the less contentious point seems to be that the Netherlands were pretty atrocious.
Ronald Koeman’s new side have a long way to go to recover former glories and it’s only their enduring stature in the game that prevents Portugal from being odds-on at home on Monday night. Back Ronaldo’s boys at a best price 5/4 with WilliamHill.
The reigning European champions lost their first World Cup qualifier back in 2016 but subsequently won the remaining 9 fixtures.
The are now unbeaten in a year including friendlies (W11 D3) and will surely have too much for a Dutch side still staring into the abyss.
