It was a great goal but I don't think it was Dutch football at it's best. A quick counter attack is not their natural style but Van Basten has been forced to change their play as they don't have the players this time around.

Nevertheless a brilliant performance and something of a surprise. I always want the Dutch to do well so here's hoping.......
