England set up Netherlands friendly


England will meet Netherlands in March as part of their Euro 2016 build-up, the Football Association announced on Friday.

Roy Hodgson's side secured a place at next summer's finals by winning all 10 of their qualifiers in Group E and will use the meeting with Danny Blind's men as part of their preparations for the finals in France.

In stark contrast, Netherlands' qualifying campaign was shambolic, with the Dutch failing to even qualify for the play-offs.

Oranje will visit London on March 29, following England's other friendlies against Spain, France and Germany.

The Dutch will also face Wales in Cardiff next month as Chris Coleman begins to form his plans ahead of his nation's first trip to a major tournament since 1958.
