Less than three months before the German Euro (June 14 - July 14), the three well-known teams in Group D delivered disparate performances.
If France sank in Lyon against Germany, losing 2-0, the Netherlands were a success against Scotland (4-0) on Friday.
Tijani Reijnders (40th), Georginio Wijnaldum (72nd), Wout Weghorst (84th) and Donyell Malen (86th) all four contributed to the Oranje victory.
Poland or Wales as third opponent
Still in a friendly, Austria, which will face France on June 17, defeated Slovakia this Saturday (2-0).
Christoph Baumgartner quickly opened the scoring after just six seconds of play!
🇸🇰-🇦🇹
INCREDIBLE!!!
Austria, the Blues' future opponent at Euro 2024, opened the scoring after 6 seconds thanks to a solitary raid from Christoph Baumgartner

Andreas Weimann closed the debates (82nd).
On Tuesday, the Blues will face their third opponent at the end of the match between two play-offs: Wales and Poland.
If the Tricolores have never faced the Welsh in an official competition (six friendlies in total), their last clash against Poland is not that long ago.
In the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup, the Blues won 3-1 thanks to a goal from Olivier Giroud and a double from Kylian Mbappé.
