Holland beat World Champions France to condemn Germany to relegation

Goals from Georginio Wijnaldum and Memphis Depay crowned a dominant display from the Dutch in Rotterdam to end Les Bleus' 15-game unbeaten run.
Friday's result leaves Joachim Low's winless German side rooted to the bottom of the table and heading to League B.

Player to watch…
Tanguy Ndombele: Tottenham and Manchester City have been linked to the 21-year-old who has been in impressive form for Lyon so far this season. The midfielder made his international debut only last month when he replaced Paul Pogba in France’s 2-2 draw with Iceland, and will look to catch the eye again of potential suitors after the midfielder told L’Equipe this week that he could leave the Ligue 1 side in the summer.

Prediction...
Netherlands 1-2 France
26 mins Wales 0-0 Denmark
But the corner is wasted and Wales break!
However, a promising counter is broken up as Allen chose the wrong option to pass too, seeking out Bale.
You can't really blame him most of the time for doing that!
28 mins: Netherlands 0-0 France
Chance France!
Flashbacks of the World Cup as Griezmann's disappointing free-kick is cleared by Netherlands... or so they thought!
The ball falls into the oncoming path of Benjamin Pavard and he takes aim from 30 yards out with the side of his boot and it flies narrowly over.
I'm sure you all remember his screamer in Russia.
6 mins Brazil 0-0 Uruguay
First action of the game as Neymar takes aim from a dead ball.
His 30-yard free-kick is easy for the keeper to deal with but he can only clear it for a corner.
GOAL DISALLOWED!! BRAZIL 0-0 URUGUAY
Fantastic football from the Brazilians who pass it from front to back with Firmino playing a big part in the action.
The ball comes to Luis on the left-hand side of the box who drills a pacey cross into the box and Neymar steers it into the goal.
The offside flag goes up though and he's probably correct. Tight though.
35 mins! CHANCE! Wales 0-0 Denmark
Excellent build up play from Wales and the ball is worked to the right-hand side where Connor Roberts lay in waiting.
He sends in a delightfully floated ball towards the far post where Gareth Bale is waiting, timing his running jump to perfection and making a connection with the ball.
But, his header somehow goes wide, and like Chester, he'll be left wondering how.
37 mins: FREE-KICK DANGEROUS POSITION DENMARK
Dummett is quite clearly carrying an injury and will be replaced by Chris Gunter who is coming on for his 92nd cap.
He's just given away a foul though before being replaced.
Minutes beforehand, Denmark should have taken the lead but their goal was wrongly judged to have been offside as Martin Braithwaite beats the defence and Hennessey but the linesman thinks otherwise.
Wales 0-0 Denmark
Denmark really look a threat going forward and Braithwaite who is having a great game sends in a teasing ball and it's Gunter who stops a Danish head from guiding it towards goal.
Wales hanging on at times, it seems.
What a fabulous goal it is.
Wales lose the ball and Denmark play it around in midfield before working it towards Yousef Poulsen on the right wing.
His touch is an absolute joy into the path of Jorgensen who is beyond the Welsh defenders with only Hennesey to beat.
He touches it into the net with a great deal of composure and Denmark have a huge advantage now.
