what a save

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

That should be it.

Deserved Netherlands win vs boring exhausted passion merchants 

 

england Netherlands will be a classic but not in a good way 

[Vesper 28,802]

we should be able to beat the Dutch

[Pizy 18,368]

Think England beat the Netherlands comfortably. Turkey were carving through them and creating chances like crazy in that match. The Dutch midfield has a couple of nobodies in midfield so I expect England to dominate the middle of the pitch and their defense has been the one pretty solid area for them this tournament. So it all comes down to who Southgate picks in attack. If he starts Palmer instead of Foden who has done fuck all in 5 matches I think England win.

England didn't beat anyone comfortably tho. In fact, last 4 games 4 draws against teams like Slovenia, Denmark, Slovakia and Switzerland. 

Regarding Dutch midfielders, yes, weakest area, they are missing best players there, but don't understand why Koeman doesn't give a chance at least to Gravenberch and Wijnaldum.

Jerdy Schouten is their only DMF on the team, due to injuries

and 

Tijjani Reijnders (AC Milan)

is better atm than Gravenberch (too inexperienced) and Wijnaldum (turns 34 this fall, and rinsed) IMHO

I know it's not Dutch idea of football but if you are so lacking in MF area try to play to your strengths. They have Van de ven, De Ligt on the bench and Blind. Add 3rd CB and play Conte system. Dumfries also plays wing back for Inter. So you have just 2 instead of 3 average MFs. Simons behind Gakpo and Depay. Would be better imo.

Van de ven

should DEFFO start over de Vrij

massive increase of pace, which will be needed v England (and if they win, France or Spain)

Btw Morata can play. It was a mistake on screen he got yellow.

Goodluck to England, don’t fuck it up this time. Portugal needs to move on from Ronaldo, enough is enough.

Ha ha the Germans fucking moaning, your out fuck off

It's difficult to say what is deliberate handball and what is n't.
This one reminds me for the match against City for the league.
One historical I think should never have been given was in the champions league final L'pool v. Spurs, the 1-0.
But the Cucurella handball was pen.
