Despite Krakow hosting no games during the tournament, the Dutch chose Poland's second largest city for their Euro 2012 base, together with England and Italy.

The 2010 World Cup finalists played their last warm-up match on Saturday (2nd June), thrashing Northern Ireland 6-0 in Amsterdam.

They progress to the tournament simultaneously as one of the favourites - but also as one of the great underachievers in world football.

Despite reaching three world cup finals, the 1988 European Championship remains their only major piece of silverware.

The Dutch have reached the knock-out stages of five successive Euros since then, but haven't made it beyond the semi-finals.

From the team which started the 2010 World Cup final, only retired left-back Giovanni van Bronckhorst is missing from the 23-man squad.

The Netherlands will open their Euro 2012 tournament against Denmark on June the 9th, with their Group B also including Germany and Portugal.
