Holland Team

Match Summary - Denmark
Holland booked their place in the last eight and carried France with them into the quarter-finals after a stirring second-half showing against Denmark in Rotterdam.
Frank Rijkaard's side finally began to exhibit the talent that had made them pre-tournament favourites for Euro 2000 following a stuttering victory over the Czech Republic in their opening game.
A wretched opening against the Danes followed, before goals from Patrick Kluivert, Ronald de Boer and Boudewijn Zenden finally clicked the Dutch into gear.

Match Summary - Czech Republic
The hosts had the vast majority of the attacks in front of a sea of orange in Amsterdam, but the Czechs defended doggedly to keep the game goalless at the break
Nedved was looking by far the Czechs' best player. First he set up giant striker Koller, who was foiled by the diving van der Saar. Within seconds Nedved had tried his own luck only for the keeper to save again.
The Dutch, favourites before the kick-off to win the championships, were hugely fortunate with the Czechs twice striking the woodwork before Frank de Boer's successful spot-kick.
