The Netherlands were very close to a sensation against Spain in the first round, with a win for Lyn Jones' men at 8.40, but the team played so well that they were defeated by only two points (18-20). The second half is worth a special mention: the coaching staff had a fruitful conversation with their charges during the break, and in a separate second half, the Netherlands crushed their opponent 12-0.
