The Tournament

The Netherlands national team experienced a mixed period between 2002 and 2004. They notably failed to qualify for the 2002 FIFA World Cup after finishing third in their qualification group. Under manager Dick Advocaat, the team successfully qualified for UEFA Euro 2004, overcoming Scotland in a play-off. At the tournament in Portugal, the Dutch side progressed from their group and reached the semi-finals, where their campaign ended against the host nation.
