At the end of the 20th century, but also at the beginning of the 21st, it was a tradition to watch the Dutch in the finals of the big championships. "Oranje" almost always reached the semifinals, and once they were in the finals at the World Cup in 2010, when they were unfortunately defeated by the Spaniards, after Iniesta's goal in literally the last moments of the second overtime. But the times change.

Exactly after that year, a rather bad period in Dutch football followed, and things started to get better only after Ronald Kuman sat on the "tulip" bench. However, Kuman took over Barcelona last summer and was replaced by Frank De Boer, who has not had a notable role as a coach so far. When it comes to qualifying for the European Championship, the popular "oranje" took second place in the table with two points less than first-placed Germany, so at first glance, we see that the Netherlands did not have an easy job to qualify for the European Championship. As for the World Cup qualifiers that have recently started, the Netherlands is currently in second place in the table, with a point short in relation to the first-placed Turkey, which, among other things, has inflicted the only defeat in the qualifiers so far, in the first round when it was 4: 2. What will certainly be a big handicap for Frank De Boer's team is the non-playing of Virgil Van Dyke, who will not play in this tournament, and unfortunately De Licht will not be in the first match, so the "tulip" selector will have to change the standard stopper tandem.

After the failure in 2016, the legendary Andrei Shevchenko was promoted from the position of assistant to the position of the selector. After Ukraine did not qualify for the World Cup in 2018, this selection excelled in the qualifications for the European Championship and without defeats in the group with Portugal and Serbia, finished the qualifications in first place on the table. With very good games, Andrei Shevchenko's team continued in the World Cup qualifiers, as at the start they managed to get a point away from the French, who are perhaps at this moment the best team in the world. However, after that, Ukraine could and should have done better. Namely, this selection tied two draws in which they simply had to triumph. First, Andrei Shevchenko's team played a draw at home against Finland, and then, despite all expectations, they drew as hosts against Kazakhstan, and that duel ended with the result 1: 1. What is very interesting, is that the Ukrainians have a score of 1-0-5 at the European Championships, did not score a full 479 minutes and have a problem opening this tournament against the Netherlands in Amsterdam, which they have never beaten in history, and which plays in front of their fans. By the way, in the last preparatory match before the European Championship, Ukraine demolished Cyprus, and that match ended with the result 4: 0. As the leader of this great generation of Ukrainians, Malinovsky, who had a fantastic season in Atalanta, stands out without any doubt, and besides him, we should definitely add the Manchester City football player Zinchenko, who recently played a great match in the Champions League final, in which his club, unfortunately, experienced defeat.

However, I think Ukraine will not lose this game, they have great harmony in the team, and with a compact defense, I am sure they will make a hard game for Oranje boys. Predicting 2-2 or 1-1 here.

在 20 世纪末和 21 世纪初，在大型锦标赛的决赛中观看荷兰人是一种传统。 “Oranje”几乎总是能打进半决赛，有一次他们在 2010 年世界杯的决赛中不幸被西班牙人击败，在第二个加时赛的最后时刻伊涅斯塔的进球。但时代在变。

就在那一年之后，荷兰足球经历了一段相当糟糕的时期，直到罗纳德·库曼坐在“郁金香”替补席上之后，情况才开始好转。然而，库曼在去年夏天接手了巴塞罗那，由弗兰克·德波尔取而代之，弗兰克·德波尔到目前为止还没有担任过出色的教练角色。说到欧锦赛资格赛，当红的“橙子”以比第一的德国少两分的成绩排在积分榜第二位，所以乍一看，荷兰队的晋级之路并不轻松。欧洲锦标赛。至于世界杯在最近开始的预选赛中，荷兰目前在积分榜上排名第二，与排名第一的土耳其相比，仅差一分，这是迄今为止唯一一次在预选赛中失利的国家当回合是 4:2 时，对于弗兰克·德布尔的球队来说，肯定会是一个很大的障碍是维吉尔·范戴克的缺席，他不会参加本次比赛，不幸的是德利希特不会参加第一场比赛，所以“郁金香”选择器将不得不改变标准塞子串联。

2016年失败后，传奇人物安德烈舍甫琴科从助理一职晋升为选秀人一职。乌克兰在2018年无缘世界杯后，本次选拔在欧锦赛资格赛上表现出色，在小组赛中不负众望与葡萄牙和塞尔维亚同组，以积分榜第一的成绩完成了资格赛。凭借非常出色的比赛，安德烈·舍甫琴科的球队继续在世界杯预选赛，一开始他们设法从法国队那里拿到一分，法国队可能是目前世界上最好的球队。然而，在那之后，乌克兰本可以而且应该做得更好。也就是说，这个选择将两个平局并列，他们只需要取得胜利。先是舍甫琴科的球队主场战平芬兰，然后不顾一切的作为东道主战平哈萨克斯坦，最终以1：1的比分结束了这场对决。欧锦赛1-0-5，没有打满479分钟，并且在阿姆斯特丹对阵荷兰的比赛中开局有问题，这是他们历史上从未击败过的，并且在他们的球迷面前比赛。顺便说一下，在欧锦赛前的最后一场备战中，乌克兰大胜塞浦路斯，那场比赛以4：0结束。 作为乌克兰伟大一代的领袖，马利诺夫斯基，在亚特兰大的精彩赛季毫无疑问地脱颖而出，除了他之外，我们绝对应该加上曼城足球运动员津琴科，他最近在欧洲冠军联赛决赛中打出了一场精彩的比赛，不幸的是，他的俱乐部在这场比赛中遭遇了失利。

但是，我认为乌克兰不会输掉这场比赛，他们在球队中非常和谐，而且防守紧凑，我相信他们会为荷兰带来一场艰苦的比赛。预测比分 2-2 或 1-1。
