Netherlands need at least a 7-0 victory on Tuesday to take second place and avoid missing out a second straight major tournament.
Advocaat said, ‘ It will be difficult to win 7-0.
”It is a football match and everything is possible. It will be a difficult game because Sweden have shown in recent months that they are a difficult team to beat but you never know.
”We always try to pick the strongest team and tomorrow that will once again be the case.
”We arrived back very late from Belarus and we had to adjust our training times. I also agree with what Arjen Robben said that we must play with pride and for the supporters.
”I have always believed that the individual players in my squad have always shown the intention to play well and play attacking football too.”

Es muy dificil la tarea de ganar 7 a 0, despues de ver a la oranje jugar pesimo en todos los partidos anteriores y que lleguemos a este ultimo en estas condiciones solo cabe decir IMPOSIBLE, si embargo sin dar iluciones a nadie ni menos a mi mismo, el 0.0001% de posibilidades de que Holanda llegue al segundo lugar es que los errores que cometieron en todo el torneo lo reviertan y que los goles que dejaron de hacer vuelvan a la luz y entoces el bombazo, ojala que DIOS ponga su mano y nos ayude.
De todas formas todos los que apoyamos a la oranje ya sea de cualquier parte del mundo nos merecemos que al menos jueguen con dignidad su ultimo partido de esta fase
