No. The Netherlands is the name of a country. Dutch is the language of and also anything from the Netherlands.
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.

Rotterdam ^_^. Amazing beautiful, new sight, new people and new thing on every corner. Not big but very nice!
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.
