Netherlands will play another match before potential round-of-16 clash vs England

The Netherlands are set to be in action before their potential round of 16 match with England following their humbling 3-2 defeat to Austria on Tuesday.

If England fans think our national team has been disappointing, try being Dutch right now.

Ronald Koeman's men were far from at their best against Ralf Rangnick's Austria, who emerged 3-2 victors and topped the group ahead of the tournament favourites France.

Following the result, Former Dutch player Rafael Van der Vaart slammed Liverpool's Virgil Van Dijk for his attitude at full-time.

Van der Vaart said: “We played the way Virgil van Dijk just talked! We just had to watch a disgraceful performance! I want the captain from our country to show some PASSION!”

Speaking after the match, Van Dijk said: “Very bad game. Very bad night. We started the game weak. I don't have an explanation for this performance.”

Following the matchday three disappointment, Koeman's side arranged a friendly with 4th tier German side TSV Havelse.

The Dutch players will have certainly gained a bit of confidence from the extra runout, as they ran away 6-1 winners.

Goals from Wout Weghorst (2), Van de Ven (2), Brian Brobbey and Jermie Frimpong secured the victory.

This could be extremely relevant for Gareth Sou thgate and England, with the Three Lions likely to face Koeman's side in the round of 16 due to the third-place rule.

Put simply, England winning Group C means they will face one of the three third-placed teams from Groups D, E, and F.

That would mean Slovakia or the Netherlands could draw England in the last 16.

Hungary are also provisionally in a qualification spot, but they were in Group A and therefore cannot draw the Three Lions, while Denmark who are currently in fourth in the six-team table - were, of course, in England's group.
