England to play Holland friendly

December 5, 2008

England have announced they will play Holland on the 12th of August just before their remaining qualifying games of the 2010 World Cup.

This friendly match adds to the fixtures they already have lined up against Spain, Slovakia and Slovenia.

The last time England played in Amsterdam in 2006, Wayne Rooney grabbed the opening goal in a 1-1 draw.

As part of the deal, the Netherlands, who reached the Euro 2008 quarter-finals, will play a return fixture at Wembley in August 2011.

The Netherlands are placed fourth in the world in the latest Fifa rankings.
