Netherlands – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Oranje”, after Koeman returned to the coaching position, are showing themselves to be quite predictable. They win when they are stronger and lose to the “big guys”. Speaking about the previous year, there were defeats to France (twice in the qualification) and Croatia and Italy (in the Nations League final). At the same time, there were 100% results in the games against Ireland, Greece and, of course, Gibraltar.
Nothing changed in 2024, although the matches were held in a friendly format. A crushing victory over Scotland was followed by a 1-2 away defeat to the Germans in March. To tell the truth, Canada did not become a serious barrier; it was defeated with a 4-0 score.
Iceland – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Icy” held another extremely mediocre qualification last year. The defeat of Liechtenstein was followed by a draw in the struggle with Luxembourg and a victory over Bosnia.
Age Hareide’s wards, even with such poor results, were close to qualify for the Euro. They won the spring play-offs against Israel – 4-1. And then they scored first against Ukraine, but it all ended in a weak-willed defeat. And it was just a 0-3 failure in the battle against England in Newcastle in June.
