The Netherlands entered the 1990 World Cup tournament in Italy as one of the favorites, yet they managed to score only two goals in the group stage, which included England, Egypt, and the Republic of Ireland. With identical records at the end of the group stage, the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland resorted to drawing lots to determine the second-place finisher. The Netherlands drew the tougher opponent, West Germany, while the Republic of Ireland faced Romania. The match against West Germany is chiefly remembered for the spitting incident involving Frank Rijkaard and Rudi Völler, resulting in a 2–1 defeat for the Netherlands.
