When was the last time the Netherlands reached the semi-finals?

1998 World Cup. Fourth place.

In the semi-final, the penalty kick was lost to Brazil, Brazil 1: 1 (5: 3) Netherlands.

The match between Brazil and the Netherlands is one of the most technical competitions in this World Cup. Hiddink relied on Davis and Koku to block most of Brazil's offensive, and no four main forces could not escape. Although Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal at the beginning of the second half, before the end, Davis counterattacked in the frontcourt, Delporte Jr. made a cross from the right and Kluivert headed the net. After extra time, the two teams had to play penalty shoot-out. None of the four players of the Brazilian team failed, but the Dutch team failed.

Croatia 2-01The Dutch team, who was unwilling to fight, came off the bench for many times in the final 3 and 4. Although Zenden scored a wonderful long-range shot, Prosi, France and Brazil took a group photo as a souvenir. The goals of Netzki and Suk finally won Croatia's first international medal after independence, and Suk also won the Golden Boot Award.

The most wonderful performance was that in the match of 1/4, the Netherlands and Argentina killed each other 2: 1. Batty, 29, hit the post twice, but Bergkamp, 29, could hardly be seen in the audience. An assist and a final winner prevented the game from entering overtime.

In the eighth final, Holland scored 2: 1 and Yugoslavia drew. Davis, the bad boy of the Dutch team, killed Yugoslavia with a long-range shot before the final.
