Yes, The Netherlands and Holland are two names for the same place
Amsterdam is the capital city of The Netherlands and the province / county North-Holland.
holland is only a part of the Netherlands its like saying England you know its only a part of the county :D
Usually that is the intention, but Holland is also a region INSIDE the Netherlands.If someone says Holland or the Netherlands referring to countries, they mean the same thing. But for a specific geographic term, it may mean a smaller area. The Netherlands have 12 regions/provinces including North-Holland (Noord-Holland) and South-Holland (Zuid-Holland). Since the capital Amsterdam is in North-Holland many people refer to the Netherlands as Holland. Dutch people don't mind - in fact it's used a lot by them. It's just easier.
Holland and The Netherlands are often used to refer to the same place. Holland is actually only a part of the Netherlands, so they are not the same thing. Many people don't know that and use both names to refer to the same thing. Usually when people use Holland they are intending to refer to the Netherlands. So technically it was the Netherlands and Spain beat them 1-0, but if you said Holland people would know what you mean.
Some people consider it as the same, but actually, Holland is just a part of the Netherlands.
The Dutch live in the Netherlands. Remember, the Netherlands and Holland are the same country.
