Plus this is the same squad LVG took to 3rd place last summer. Something gotta be going behind the scene I refuse to believe this team is this horrible.
The squad is battling alot of injuries. The entire defence lineup werent even selected for the worldcup. The next official match will be in September 2016. But in terms of quality they're pretty much the same. The selection of 2014 was really bad defensively, but LVG threw the dutch 4-3-3 system in the garbage bin and was playing really defensive with 5-3-2 formation. It took lots of courage and balls because counter football is looked down upon here and 4-3-3 is holy.
Not qualifying has a bad impact on the economy too. Study shows that if the dutch squad participates in an international tournament, the supermarkets and bars make 500 million euros extra profit compared to when they don't play.
Their next official game, the match for wc 2018 qualification, is in September 2016
