Post-game, Van der Vaart labeled England a “s*** team” despite them winning 2-1 to meet Spain in the final.

He told Dutch broadcaster NOS: "What a s*** team they are. Slowly, they didn't want to do anything anymore. They have such top players on the field. 

“We didn't do much either. We had a few chances. There could have been so much more in it."

Former striker Pierre van Hooijdonk added on the referee: "They can thank Felix Zwayer. He really needs to be blacklisted. Terrible. 

“Also in the second half. A duel with Cody Gakpo where he simply blew his whistle again, ten meters from the linesman. Those are moments that were crucial in this match."
