Day 3 | Poland vs Netherlands | Slovenia vs Denmark | Serbia vs England

Seems more like suicide by cop than an actual threat.
I'm surprised Frimpong isn't starting after the season he's had. Is Dumfries actually better atm?
Was surprised by how many fantasy teams I saw with Frimpong in.
Caaaaarmmm on' Arry, you faking cnut, smash some goals in, lad.
No Lewandowski for Poland. Going to be tough for them. Can see the Netherlands scoring 2 or 3.
They should still beat Poland comfortably (who are outplayed by Wales for a good while in their playoff game), but that Dutch team looks so mediocre. Basically just Van Dijk, Simons and a lot of averageness.
I wouldn't be too shocked to see them finish 3rd in the group behind Austria.
I would add Aké to those but other than that I agree. Poland without Lewandowski is still a team they should beat, although they are not a poor team by any means. And with the Dutch you never know what you’re going to get. They’ll miss de Jong (and Koopmeiners).
Our team lacks quality especially now that Frenkie de Jong and Koopmeiners are out. Don't think there's going to be any easy games in this group either. Wouldn't be surprised if we end up third but hope we can get second place. There's no way we're beating France. Even if their entire current team would wind up injured they could still field a better team than us from the players they left at home 
Dutch back 4 looks one of the better ones.
Even our back up options would look like a better ones. Frimpong, de Ligt, van de Ven and Maatsen would be good too.
Our other lines dont have that starting quality or depth in quality unfortunately
Dumfries always plays really well for our national team and Koeman is really loyal to players that performed for him before. Sometimes a bit too loyal in Wijnaldum his situation.
Dumfries, together with van Dijk and de Jong are untouchable
Not starting Frimpong is insanity. If not at right back, right mid, heck even up front. He's top notch
He could be a perfect sub around 70th minute when the Polaks are getting tired.
Going to be backs to the wall job for Poland just like it was v Argentina.
Zielinski is one of those who's been generally brilliant for Napoli for years but never looked close to replicating that form for Poland, strange when he's had Lewa infront of him for the last decade.

I’m guessing that our resident Germans and the locals will be rooting for Poland?
How has Depay been this season?
Don’t know any of the Dutch mids. But their back line looks solid and their front line is passable. Will Memphis wear that headband during the game? Been a while since I saw that.
Are the Netherlands wearing their away kit? There isn’t a clash between white and orange.
No Lewa, no chance.
Told you he'd be on the bench @Scorpy
Yeah, guess they've not been keeping an eye on how Koeman picks his sides. Frimpong on the bench was one of the more predictable things. That said, he could still do some damage off the bench if given time.
They have the most beautiful zoo in all of Germany, though.
Why are the Dutch not playing in orange?
Close from Gakpo.
That was close!
What’s with the daft headband?
Carmelo Anthony playing up front for Netherlands?
Bednarek going to be destroyed by Gakpo here....
Netherlands all over Poland. Normally speaking the 0-1 is a matter of time.
So that all the people who spent the whole game just looking at arses can tell who's who easily.
Poland will be a carbon copy of Scotland although not sure Dutch will score as many as Germany did.
Is there a techy reason why the feed from games ITVx is so far behind iPlayer?
Hope not. Money on a 2-1/3-1/4-1 win.
I wonder how Simons explained that idea to his barber
Netherlands about to become Ronaldinho's new team
Depay is toying with us
Simons fires just wide.
