It was a difficult moment in the modern history of Dutch football, with the national team having experienced the same disappointment in qualifying for Euro 84, but in the most unlikely of circumstances: leading their group and with a huge goal difference, Spain had to lose at home to Malta to advance to their final match, 11 goals ahead of the Netherlands, and qualify for the 1982 World Cup at the expense of the group. The Spaniard's 12-1 victory was not credible, but Kees Rijvers' willingness to call on young talent was a positive point at the time, and it helped him to introduce future stars such as Ruud Gullit, Marco Van Basten and Ronald Koeman to the international scene at the time.
