Netherlands and Croatia will clash in the first of the UEFA Nations League Semifinals, on Wednesday June 14 (2:45 pm ET). The match will take place at the storied Feyenoord Stadium (aka Stadion Feijenoord 'De Kuip'), built in 1930. This semifinal game of the UEFA Nations League A Championship Playoff, will feature Netherlands and Croatia, the two teams that Argentina defeated on their road to glory at the 2022 Qatar Worlds Cup (in quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively). The Oranje, coached by Ronald Koeman, will seek to defeat the World Cup bronze medalists and take on the winner of Spain or Italy (played the following day) in the final. The Netherlands will be without star striker Memphis Depay, who suffered a calf injury training with Atletico Madrid in early May. Zlatko Dalic's Croatia, meanwhile, will face a tough challenge playing on the road. Despite benefiting from the leadership of ageless former Ballon d'Or winner Luka Modric, on paper they are seen as a slightly inferior squad. Goalkeepers aside...

International football The Netherlands played their first international match away against Belgium on 30 April 1905 - a truly historic day for Dutch football and a memorable occasion for Eddy de Neve and Ben Stom in particular. De Neve notched all four goals for the Netherlands in a cliffhanger that went into extra time after Stom had scored an own goal. Men's football Football is the most popular sport in the Netherlands. It was introduced to the Netherlands in 1879 by a 14-year-old boy, Pim Mulier, who founded Haarlemsche Football Club. Many clubs followed, including current top-tier professional clubs as Sparta Rotterdam (1888), Ajax Amsterdam(1900), Feyenoord Rotterdam (1908) and PSV Eindhoven (1913).

Dutch men's national football coach Frank de Boer has finalized his 26-man squad for the upcoming European Championship. A total of eight players were axed from the De Boer was still making his final cuts on Wednesday before his 4 p.m. press conference to announce the selection. "I made the last decision today. Who was that? No, you don't need to know, but I did make a choice today. That was indeed a difficult one, but it always is," he said. Tottenham's left-winger Steven Bergwijn was dropped from the Oranje team, marking the biggest surprise of the final squad. The 23-year old had a rough season in which he struggled to make an impact at Tottenham Hotspur. "It is always difficult, because the quality of the players is very close to each other. Making choices is never fun, but it is part of your job. I did that, but it was not easy," he said. Ajax’s 19-year-old Jurrien Timber will be marking his debut for the national team following the striking performance in the second half of the recently finished domestic league. Veteran goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg, who played for Oranje in the 2010 World Cup final against Spain, was also picked as one of the three goalkeepers, ahead of Marco Bizot from AZ Alkmaar. At 38, Stekelenburg will be one of the oldest players when the tournament gets underway on June 11. "We also want to be able to play a system with five defenders. In such a system, Promes is a good option in the position of wingback. He has already shown that during his...

The UEFA Nations League semifinal features Netherlands and Croatia at Stadion Feijenoord De Kuip in Rotterdam, Netherlands on Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 2:45 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we preview Netherlands vs. Croatia odds, and make our best Netherlands will play without star MF Memphis Depay, as he continues to battle a calf injury and is unfit to play. D Matthijs de Ligt will also be sidelined for this match, and the final, should the Dutch advance, as he also nurses a calf ailment. This UEFA Nations League A championship playoff features 2 sides which Argentina topped to get to the pinnacle at the World Cup. Both the Dutch and Croatians had a phenomenal tournament in Qatar, and this will be a quality match throughout. Croatia faces the tough task of playing in Holland, so it will obviously be a very unwelcoming atmosphere for manager Zlatko Dalic’s club. Croatia is unbeaten in its past 3 matches across all formats, including a 2-1 win in the 3rd-place game in the World Cup, and a 2-0 win over Turkey in a EURO qualifier in late March. Internationally, these teams haven’t met since a friendly in Feb. 2008, with the Dutch winning 2-0. The only injury concern for the Croats is that of D Josko Gvardiol, who will be inactive with a groin injury. If MF Ivan Perisic is able to score, he would move past Mario Mandzukic for 2nd-place all-time among Croatian scorers for the national team.
