It is good to see the Dutch back on track after a few years in the dark, it seem as Belgium got better the Dutch just fell off. Hard to believe for them they have not qualified for the last two major competitions though with the Ajax group coming up and the coming out for VvD it looks like they are back on the right track though oddly enough attack is their weakest point which was something you wouldn't associate with the dutch.
As for England you could see why Pep has not played Stone's in a while, had a mare of a game out there. I found it odd (though kinda thankful for Hendo or TAA) that he did not start any of the UCL final players because the dutch didn't have any issue starting VvD or Gini who looked decent out there. I am looking forward to see what England can do going forward, the trio of Sterling-Kane-Sancho is a exciting prospect. Mid-field combination is the question mark going forward as they lack a whole lot of options and Southgate has not found the right mix.
