Well yes, he's surprisingly good. Not better than Rashford by a long shot, though, in my opinion
Day 3: England vs Croatia | Austria vs North Macedonia | Netherlands vs Ukraine
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
It's a pretty weak tournament for star name strikers.
Holland is such a brilliant watch, they just need a couple of superstars to become a force again… think of a creative midfielder and a proven striker.
Unlucky
Ukraine still getting the odd chance.
Netherlands well coached team, but Ukraine are all over the place.
Netherlands playing a bit like United wish to play with advanced fullbacks and centre backs playmaking.

Kane ? Lukaku ? Benzema ? Lewandowski ? Ronaldo ? Etc
You say surprisingly, can I take you haven't watched him since he left United?
Some matches leave you nonplussed at how the feck it's 0-0.
This is one of them.

I don't really recall but I've no time for him so I probably would have switched to whatever channel he wasn't on.
I was also on holidays down in Wexford for the knock-out games so didn't hear much of the commentary in the pub.
Ukraine look good going forward, the Dutch are giving them a lot of space through the middle. Should probably be 1-0 for the Netherlands at this point though.
There's some lovely silky touches from these Ukrainians. Good flow to the game.
This has been a great match
Not sure if dead link or on my side — not working.
There’s still some big names but yeah, the current best no.9’s in world football still heavily leans on previous generations. The current one is lacking a bit of sauce.
ah shite, it's the greek god himself, Angelos Charisteas.
It’s sad to watch the Netherlands with such a proud history of strikers come to a tournament so toothless up front.
You cannot pretend more than 1 out of 10 fans, from any country, follow non-domestic football in a regular manner, though. Depay matured a lot and morphed into a good international-level forward suited to any of the front roles in the 4-2-3-1. He is clearly not Cavani level, even this past-his-prime Cavani at 34, which most of United fans downplayed as well, knowing nothing of him.
Watching on RTE, I swear the panelists are sitting on cheap garden patio furniture.
Shut up Gary.
Direct descendants of Aphrodite don’t countAwkward cut off
Clive: 'correct is important in 2021'. OK boomer
I picked up on that too and smirked.
I think Clive is outing himself as a bit of a gammon.
Him and Tyler need to be cancelled.
finally!!
At last.

Bad keeping
Go on Netherlands!
There it is
Poor keeping
Schoolboy keeping
That’s that game over..
The director must have loved that goal, he got to use every single camera angle.
Couldn't have pushed that out to a worse position.
Wijnaldum deserved that goal though

Barca could've actually really used Gini.
Really good job keeping that ball down there.
