Germany sent a message to all opponents in Netherlands win

Muller, who scored the opener and was involved in both of his team's other goals, believes that they issued a statement of intent with their scintillating performance on Tuesday evening. "If you beat the Netherlands in this way, it sends a message to all other nations," he told "In the first half, the Netherlands radiated a bit of danger, but we clearly dominated the second half," Muller summarised. "We scored three outstanding goals." The win capped a remarkable year in which Germany finished with a perfect 10 wins from as many Euro 2012 qualifiers, and won 'prestige friendlies' against Brazil and Uruguay, in addition to the Netherlands.
