ROBBEN LAUNCHES TOWEL TO THE GROUND: «IT IS PAINFUL»
Can the Netherlands still go to the 2018 World Cup play-off? Yes, but to do so, they need to beat Sweden 7-0 in the final round of Group A. A scenario that is impossible to get around, according to veteran Arjen Robben.
"It's painful. Unfortunately, it is part of the sport. After the result of Sweden (8-0 victory against Luxembourg), we could not play otherwise than open chest, but winning 8-0 to Belarus was not going to happen. And a 7-0 win against Sweden is not. It's a big disappointment, "said the Dutch international.
For his part, coach Dick Advocaat remains optimistic: "It will be difficult but it is not over yet. We have another game, it's possible."
