AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - The Netherlands coach Dick Advocaat has told his players and Dutch supporters to forget Thursday's 4-0 thrashing in France if they want to keep alive their World Cup hopes against Bulgaria on Sunday.

"We must stop going on about France," he told a press conference on Saturday, a day ahead of the Group A game at the Amsterdam Arena where the Netherlands must win to have any hope of finishing in the top two in their group.
