Holland boss Marco van Basten was delighted with his side's opening game result after they romped to a 3-0 victory over Italy. The Dutchman believes this was the perfect start to their Group C; otherwise known as the group of death.

"This is a dream start," Van Basten said.

"To win 3-0 against Italy, a team with so much experience and quality in their team, we didn't expect that.

"It was a truly good team performance from the whole team.

"The first game is always a big match, and the whole team gave a performance and then to win 3-0, it is a fantastic, historical performance."
