WRAPUP 1-Soccer-Dutch roar back as Greece sink Portugal again

BELGRADE, March 26 (Reuters) - The Netherlands staged a remarkable comeback to win 4-3 in Austria while European champions Greece beat Portugal 2-1 as all 16 Euro 2008 finalists contested friendlies on Wednesday.

England midfielder David Beckham will not have happy memories of his 100th international appearance after Fabio Capello's side, who did not qualify for the June tournament, suffered a 1-0 defeat to France in Paris.

The Dutch were 3-0 down against Euro 2008 co-hosts Austria after 35 minutes but two late goals from strikers Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink and Klaas Jan Huntelaar gave them the win after they had clawed their way back into the match.

Andreas Ivanschitz and a Sebastian Proedl brace had fired the Austrians ahead before Huntelaar and John Heitinga replied for the Dutch to make the score 3-2.

Vennegoor of Hesselink grabbed an 82nd-minute equaliser and Huntelaar completed the comeback with his sixth goal in 11 international appearances.

England, looking for their first win over France in Paris since 1949, were fortunate not to concede more goals after a solid first half performance.

Bayern midfielder Franck Ribery steered in a 32nd minute penalty after David James had brought down Nicolas Anelka and contributed to Beckham's 38th-minute booking after the Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder pulled his shirt.

It was the first defeat as England manager for Capello after the 2-1 win over Switzerland in a friendly on his debut last month.
