By Jamie Spencer Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo shone for an hour as the Netherlands kicked off Euro 2024 with victory over Poland, but it was ex-Manchester United loanee Wout Weghorst who ultimately claimed the headlines with a late winner. A Poland side without record scorer and talisman Robert Lewandowski actually took the lead in Hamburg. Adam Buksa, the player standing in for the skipper and making only his 17th international appearance at the age of 27, was the beneficiary from some questionable Dutch defending. The Netherlands set themselves up in a zonal marking system to defend Piotr Zi...

By James Cormack For a nation steeped in football history and culture, the Netherlands' return of just one major honour is undoubtedly a disappointment. Not even the pioneering Total Footballers from the 1970s could get their hands on silverware, with the Netherlands' sole tournament success arriving at Euro 88. One of the heroes from that campaign, Ronald Koeman, will lead the Oranje into battle this summer, with the Netherlands' previous Euros triumph also arriving in the homeland of bitter rivals Germany whom they beat on their way to glory. Koeman has a talented Dutch squad at his disposal...

Five candidates have been nominated by the far-right Freedom Party of Geert Wilders to become ministers on Asylum and Migration, Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, Infrastructure, Economic Affairs, and Healthcare in the incoming Dutch government. The coalition government is dominated by Wilders’ radical right-wing PVV, which is joined by the liberal VVD, conservative NSC, and farmers' party BBB. Elections were held in November last year, in which the PVV almost doubled its seats to 37 of the 150-seat parliament, compared to the previous vote in 2021. The incoming administration, set to...

Dutch broadcaster Avrotros has called for "structural adjustments" to the competition and will keep its participation "under consideration" until such changes are made. Singer Joost Klein was disqualified during the 2024 competition in Malmö, Sweden, after allegedly making verbal threats to a female production worker – the first time an act has been disqualified having got through to the final. Swedish police said the singer was likely to face charges. Avrotros said it “still (believes) that the disqualification” of Klein “was unnecessary and disproportionate”.

The alliance of the Dutch Labour Party and the Green-Left party has taken the top spot in the European Parliament elections, according to provisional final results.

The Dutch kicked off this year's European Parliament elections on Thursday and the preliminary results are in line with ex...

By Amanda Langell Of all the biggest clubs in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur have the least amount of players competing at Euro 2024. Tottenham's fifth place finish in the 2023/24 Premier League season might not seem like a great result, but Spurs bounced back from their disappointing 2022/23 campaign.

The selected Spurs are all representing different nations, and none of them will meet in the Group Stage. Here's a breakdown of every Tottenham p...

An exit poll from Thursday's Dutch European elections saw the pro-European Labour/Green alliance edging ahead of the far-right Freedom Party PVV, with the latter the clear winner projected to scoop seven seats from one. However Geert Wilders PVV had been expected to outperform even that tally, and was forecast - following its commanding showing in national elections in November last year - to bag nine seats. Caveat: this was an exit poll and the final figures may change. So this appears to have been a big win for the PVV, but not in line with forecasts for a far-right deluge. We asked our Dutc...

Bas Eickhout, lead candidate for the GreenLeft–Labour (GroenLinks-PvdA) alliance says the future of Europe is at stake in the upcoming elections. “On all kinds of themes such as our security and climate, the question is actually whether you want a strong Europe or a weak Europe. That is actually the choice on 6 June,” he says. What's behind the Netherlands' turn to the far-right?Dirk Goting of the New Social Contrac...
