The former Dutch international has insisted that Netherlands’ chances of reaching European Championship quarter-finals are now farfetched, and has heavily condemned the players for their lack of unity.
Willem van Hanegem has ruled out Netherlands from progressing through to the Euro 2012 quarter-finals, and has heavily condemned all the players for not putting up a better show.
The Oranje are currently sitting at the bottom of the Group B following their successive defeats. The 2010 World Cup runners-up suffered a shocking 1-0 defeat at the hands of Denmark before http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 dented their European hopes further
with a 2-1 win on June 13.
Nonetheless, the Flying Dutchmen still have a slim chance of making progression to the knock-out round if they manage to beat Portugal by a two-goal margin, and Die Mannschaft cruise to a victory against the Danish Dynamite.

“It's all over for Oranje at Euro 2012. It's like in 1976, 1980 and 1990, when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 also followed up a great tournament with a disappointing campaign [in the next competition]. They achieved something at the 2010 World cup,

The 68-year-old Dutchman went on to insist that all the players will regret that they threw away the opportunity to achieve European glory.
“They are really going to regret that they threw away the chance at European glory later on. If only the team were as united as the players claim they are”, Van Hanegem concluded.
The Flying Dutchmen will lock horns against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denmark-c2884 on June 17.
The Oranje would be keen to emerge victorious against A Seleccao with at least a two-goal margin, and would be hoping that Die Mannschaft claim a win over the Danes in their respective group match.
