Matches in which the Dutch national team takes part are usually spectacular. That's terrific, but they would be even more enjoyable to watch if one didn't know that they would make certain mistakes in defense. It is not characteristic for the team headed by Koeman: since the very foundation of football, the Netherlands has been giving away goals as cheaply as possible. That's the group's charm that is able to achieve greatness only to undermine it with a blunder right there and then. But, if you've been watching football long enough, it makes them somewhat predictable.
