Euro 2022: 'Difficult to keep up' - Losing Vivianne Miedema not the only Netherlands issue - Inside Europe
The reigning European champions have had something of inauspicious start to the title defence at Euro 2022. A lacklustre display in their opening match against Sweden saw the Netherlands just about escape with a 1-1 draw before a 3-2 win against Portugal having initially surrendered a 2-goal lead before stealing the win. Ad/> A win in their final match with Switzerland should see them top the group, but after their triumph in 2017 and World Cup final appearance two years later, the Dutch appear to be in a period of transition, especially having lost legendary manager Sarina Wiegman to England and making the somewhat left-field appointment of Mark Parsons to replace her.
