It's almost as if it's a shit place to hold a world cup or something.
Coverage has been rediculous here, ITV interviewer asking Dutch fans why they are in Qatar and why they are not boycotting.
Less than half full stadium
Maybe even twenty five
disgrace

Gutted Mane won’t be playing.
It is pretty much guilt tripping, but I'm not sure he was actually supposed to ask them that. The discussion was about the Fifa app and then suddenly he was asking that - pretty unfair and puts fans into a very difficult position.
so many empty seats at this senegal/netherlands match....tells you all you need to know as to why it was a mistake to play this in Qatar
Even without Mane, think Senegal could be difficult to beat
Good luck. Hope you win always had a soft spot for the Dutch.
Excellent point. If Greece managed to do it at a major tournament with a solid defence, the Dutch can.
Looks about 25 to 30 percent full.
Why is twenty five changing to 'Googleplex'?

Yes it's not fair at all.
I always enjoy the sound of Wilhelmus regardless of the occasion.
So strange to see the stadium half empty. I remember going to my first ever World Cup (USA 94) and the atmosphere was electric. This is the complete opposite of that.
Swedish pre-game line-ups had him as Gapko 
I wonder, is this the worst atmosphere in history of World cup?
Then why the feck was he even called up?
Stadium should fill out apparently issues with ticketing app, which is a joke really shouldn't be happening.
Easily - what could have been worse
It's such a shame Mane is out, Senegal have a team with players that play regularly in the big leagues. With a fit Mane they would be genuine knock out stage contenders.
Thank you sir
Gutted for Mane.
So far yes it is.
Are they going to play "Lets get down to business" on repeat at every game?
I thought these people have money, they couldn't buy rights to a second song?

I don't understand Holland's formation. 523?
Have always preferred ITV's coverage of these tournaments to the BBC.
van Dijk makes Koulibaly look tiny 
I thought the atmosphere in the England game sounded odd.
There was constant noise but it was like they weren't really paying attention to the actual match. Was odd.
Shed a tear for Timber who was told he had to reject a move to United to stay at a struggling Ajax side to make the starting XI, only for him to end up on the bench anyway.
Tried to get England tickets v Iran on the official FIFA website. Kept getting told it was sold out/unavailable. Turns out over 20,000 were unsold/did not attend. Maybe giving such a large allowance to the Qatari's wasn't such a wise decision.
Dutch Ds are having a mare early on.
532 - similar to the one in 2014 but Gakpo more ability to roam and do whatever.
Forgetting the amount of money FIFA made giving this tournament to Qatar, they surely must think it's an absolute disaster seeing this many empty seats on the second day.
this already looks like it's about to be the first open game of the tournament.
Hasselbank would be considered an elite forward in this day and age given the scarcity of forwards at the moment. Left foot, right foot, header. Man was a machine.Makaay and Hasselbaink hardly got minutes and now they would be one of the starplayers. Times have changed
Timber not starting? Interesting.
My buddy lives there and could get any ticket to any game he wanted
Shame they put Matterface and Dixon(?) as their primary commentary team over the likes of Champion, Tyldesley and McCoist.
This might be the worst Netherlands kit in history.
That should have been 1-0 Netherlands
Not many Dutchies there.
