Netherlands won't be part of Euro 2016.
The team lost in Amsterdam to the Cechs. 2-3. No play-offs for them at all.
Sadly for him van Persie scored an own goal. A header. Another memorable one (not that it was a brilliant one like the one against Spain last year).
I hope it won't be brought back to him too often.
Zidane's headbutt on what's-his-name is not regarded as the most memorable thing in his career (his 2 goals in final against Brasil, or his goal in final with Real), but other players haven't had that luck:
Arconada's remembered for a blunder on a Platini free kick during the 1984 Euro final (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXIUaSOgS5g)... which is unfair; I got to watch the semi-final, and Spain that year qualified against a much much better team (Denmark) thanks to their keeper...
And to a lesser extent, Roberto Baggio being reminded his misfortunes when Italy lost to Brasil (who were not even good) in the penalty shoot out.

The good point, to Holland's crumbling, is that the team will have to be rebuilt (30-something and early 20 blokes). Hopefully, they won't be fit when facing France for the World Cup qualification rounds.
