As always Holland will be amongst the fancied sides to compete for the Euro 2008 title.
The winners in 1988 have an excellent recent record, reaching the semi-finals three times in the last four tournaments.
The Oranje will have some of the best support in Austria & Switzerland and there flowing football will guarantee they are east on the eye.
The tournament marks the end of Marco van Basten's reign in charge and he will be looking to finish on a high.
Marco van Basten embarks on his final tournament with Holland before taking charge at Ajax.
Van Basten was appointed with barely any experience of management in 2004 following the European Championships. He successfully guided Holland to the World Cup in Germany - but they bowed out in the last 16 when being beaten 1-0 by Portugal.
The Dutch also had few problems in qualifying for Euro 2008 and the Dutch Football Association (KNVB) wanted to extend his deal to the World Cup in 2010 - but he opted for a move into club management.
Van Basten has never shied away from controversy during his tenure and the likes of Ruud van Nistelrooy, Roy Makaay, Mark van Bommel, Boudewijn Zenden, Edgar Davids and most recently Clarence Seedorf have all even fallen out with him or made themselves unavailable because of his style.
