The Netherlands’ Euro 2016 dream shaky
Danny Blind insists he will not resign as Netherlands coach after a 3-0 loss to Turkey dealt another blow to his side’s hopes of reaching Euro 2016.
The defeat in Konya has left Blind's men fourth in Group A with just two games remaining, while Czech Republic’s win over Latvia on Sunday means Netherlands' only hope of reaching next summer’s finals is to pip Turkey to a spot in the third-place play-offs.

Blind replaced Guus Hiddink as Netherlands coach at the start of July but the 54-year-old has overseen defeats to Group A leaders Iceland and now Turkey, who are two points clear in third place.
When asked if he is planning to resign, Blind replied:”That thought does not go through my head.
