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

Did Reijnders actually get a yellow? It looked like the ref gave it to the wrong player and changed it to Veerman to me, but commentators here seemed to think it was for complaining. Looks like the feed on uefa.com has changed it to just Veerman though.
He did not. Ref even showed the var sign, but commentators...
 
Not for me, tournaments been a bit meh, quite a few boring games, this is the first entertaining game as it's been the most competitive end to end

To clarify, I don't think the quality level has been that impressive but the general approach has been much more watchable than previous tournaments with everyone playing boring ass possession football or parking the bus to counteract it.

Games have been open, numbers committed forward, some good stuff, some poor quality, but in general a very promising start.
 
I always liked Holland at tournaments from Davids, Kluivert and Seedorf to Van Persie, Sneijder and Robben

This looks like a poor squad though the Dutch aura has gone
 
Lots of muscle injuries - check
Very fragile mentally - check
Doesn't score great amount of goals - check
Can play different position so people can excuse him of being played out of position - check


Yeah, he would fit us great.

Nice to know you agree.
 
Netherlands the more dominant side but can’t finish
 
+1 min with 2 goals in the game. Has something changed from the World Cup?

The tournament ref said they wouldn't be adopting the ludicrous injury time so looks like it's' back down to 30 secs or they're not including goal celebrations in the general stoppages.

There was about 8 minutes in the Italy game wasn't there so we'll still see it on occasions where one team is trying to run down the clock with injuries and subs.
 
Holland look significantly lesser without De Jong. Frimpong to come on against tired legs and shit on the Poles?
 
Thought I was supposed to be watching horse racing at times that half. I've now realised that I had the radio commentary instead for some reason.
 
Lang Koopmeiners Frenkie and Timber would have been very very welcome..

The only ones we can bring now in midfielf or one the wing are Gravenberch, Wijnaldum, Bergwijn and Malen, of which only Malen looks like someone to change for the better...
 
Why can’t Murphy pronounce Gak-Po like everyone else? What the hell is Gako?
 
Would love to see Fabien Delph on pundit duty on BBC or Sky.

"What did you make of that first half?"
"they just need to stick to the basics of football"
"anything else?"
"just the basics"
"thanks Fabien."

so they will make it up as we go. Not a bad thing at all. Seem at the end football prevail. You get punished if you time wasting hope to see the same approach in the EPL
 
Memphis trying to be Allen Iverson
 
Depay being his usual crap self. Didn't even do his blocking job for the stupid zonal marking system from Poland's only chance at goal.

Also what's with the headband? It's alright if your a Messi or Ronaldo or some other elite player who's gonna dominate a tournament. But when your Memphis depay, your ego is writing goals that your feet cant produce. Idiot.

Is it injuries?

Where's frimpong? Zirkzee? Koopmeiners etc?

Injured or unpicked? This Netherlands team looks very below average except for arguably Van Dijk & Ake.

Very reliant on Frankie De Jong to make them tick. Shame for them he's out of the tournament. But they do look average. In comparison, I don't think Italy have the greatness of squads but they looked so sharp yesterday. You could see them picking up steam and getting better as the tournament progresses.

The Dutch? Just dont have the elite players at the moment.
