The Dutch team under van Basten now are masters of counter-attack. They used the tactic to beat Italy 3-0 and France 4-1 and left French striker Thierry Henry moaning "they just counter-attacked".
A Dutch football fan holds a fake Euro Cup trophy during Euro 2008 Group C football match Netherlands between Romania in Bern, Switzerland, June 17, 2008. Netherlands won 2-0
The 2-0 win make van Basten's side the second team to qualify with 9 points from three matches. On Monday Croatia also qualified with a perfect record. The Netherlands will play in Saturday's quarterfinals against either Russia or Sweden while Italy will play Group D winners Spain on Sunday.
Should the Netherlands and Italy win their respective quarterfinal matches, they will meet for the second time at Euro 2008 in the semifinals on June 30 in Vienna.
