The Netherlands secured qualification for the 2006 World Cup under the leadership of new manager Marco van Basten. However, their journey ended in the second round with a 1-0 loss to Portugal. This match garnered significant attention due to its record-breaking number of yellow and red cards, earning it the nickname "the Battle of Nuremberg" in the media. Despite facing criticism for his squad selection and the team's defensive style of play, Van Basten received a two-year contract extension from the KNVB, enabling him to continue as the national coach for Euro 2008.
