Holland's woes continue as they fall 2-1 at home to Greece in warm-up for World Cup qualifying campaign

The Dutch national team suffered an embarrassing defeat on Thursday night, losing 2-1 to Greece in Eindhoven.

Little was at stake but pride for Holland in a friendly match, but the country's pride was already at a low point after missing out on Euro 2016 this summer.

Coach Danny Blind and his team were hoping to bank a win ahead of their Russia 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign opener on Tuesday against Sweden.
