I failed by just looking at the date when the game would have been played and mixing it up with the date of posting the article.
My apologizes.

@Klaas On the day the article was written the Netherlands were ranked third in the FIFA rankings:

The monthly rankings update happened on the following day, when the Netherlands moved up the rankings to second.

The Netherlands won 1-2 eventually, but the author of this article isn’t right about the FIFA rankings, since Holland is SECOND & not third.

” A win for the Netherlands, who currently top group nine, will confirm their qualification for the World Cup finals in South Africa.”

No. It won’t. Scotland can still go ahead of them, even with that win.
