They aren't producing players of that quality to replace them. It's just one of those things. They'll be back eventually.

Justin Kluivert (Patrick's son) is probably one to keep an eye on as well as Fosu-Mensah. Memphis Depay seemed like he could be their new star but he's back in the Netherlands now.

memphis had a great season, i heard there are a lot of big clubs interested in him once again. i think the Netherlands are a little lighter on talent than usual but they still have no excuse to not be a top tier nation.

De Vrij, Strootman, Promes, Depay, etc.

i’m missing the current game but someone let me know who wins

OK Finally something happens. I was gonna go crazy if they didn't get that penalty.

Cuthbert 07-01-2018 02:28 PM

That defender should return to Denmark a hero.

Sacrificed himself.

Kasper with the save :cool:

debaserr 07-01-2018 02:28 PM

Modric has looked gassed out there. Not surprised with the miss.

Cuthbert 07-01-2018 02:30 PM

The Croats don't want penalties :D

Croatia and Belgium have impressed, wouldn't be surprised if they do better than my bracket says.

Occult - 2
Qwerty - 3
Rubbers - 3
Goofle- 2
Eric- 3

The last Danish penalty did it. Guy nearly fell over himself trying to be clever with it.

I couldn't watch after Schmiekel blocked the penalty kick. Now I can breathe again. Russia scares the Hell out of me though. If Croatia plays like they did again Denmark and with Russia's home field advantage, they're toast.

Trollheart 07-01-2018 03:09 PM

Unbelievable! Two knockout games, two penalty shootouts. Can't believe Eriksen of all people missed. Fair play to Modric stepping up. Schmeichel still one of the best keepers in the world though. Well done Croatia.

rubber soul 07-01-2018 03:15 PM

Schmeichel is one Hell of a goalkeeper. I might have taken Denmark against Russia had they won.
