In general, both France and Belgium easily beat the Netherlands and Sweden, as if they played not with the top teams, but with Malta or Luxembourg.

this is true
expected much more from Netherlands, although Gakpo was not there, and that looked as it would be an easier win for France
Belgium had Lukaku last night, and he smashed Sweden with three goals, didn't expect that as well

but all in all, Sweden and Netherlands looked more like Malta, than France/Belgium as top teams

In general, the choice of Koeman for the role of head coach, he is very strange. He is a tough, authoritarian coach and maybe 10-20 years ago this approach gave the result, but now we probably need other methods. Even Mourinho has little success. Of the coaches "old school" at the top level is only Ancelotti, but he is quite a liberal and not a hard coach.
In general let's wish the Dutch team good luck, they will need it with such a game in defense, and given that Van Dijk's game is also in decline, so we can't do without luck.

Sweden probably have a problem with players if they had to call on Ibrahimovic. Before it was an average, but quite a capable team, now even with Belgium it is not possible to play on equal terms and apparently Sweden needs serious changes if they want to remain at the top level.
