For this reason, the Netherlands' record in the preceding U-23 competitions is also shown. The first competitive match was in the "Under-23 Challenge", a match which they lost. The team qualified for the last eight of each of the three U-23 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
