Good news! False starts at the World Cup have not been a problem for the Dutch national team for 88 years

Historically, the Dutch national team has started off well more often than poorly at the World Cup. The Dutch team only lost the opening match twice, but for that you have to go back to 1934 and 1938, when Switzerland (3-2) and Czechoslovakia (3-0) were too strong. It also immediately meant the end of the World Cup for the Netherlands in Italy and France. In the modern era, the Dutch team is undefeated in its World Cup opening matches.
