Oranje draws Hungary, Sweden in Euro 2012

The Netherlands has drawn Hungary, coached by Dutchman Erwin Koeman, in its Group E qualifying matches for the 2012 European Cup in Poland and Ukraine.


Finland, Sweden, Moldavia and San Marino complete the line-up. There are nine groups of 6 in the first rounds and 16 teams will go through to the finals.
The qualification rounds begin in September, after the World Cup in South Africa.
‘Obviously it is nice that we meet Hungary with Erwin Koeman there – that gives the match an extra-special touch,’ Dutch national coach Bert van Marwijk told the Uefa website.
‘But, and I have said this before, you cannot and should not underestimate any opponent these days. On the other hand, you should not be afraid. If we play like we can, we have a good chance.’
