Was that Peter Schmeichel they just showed in the stands?

If this is tied after regulation every sports gambler that chased their loss and doubled down on Croatia after losing the sure thing with Spain is going to be ready to gargle razor blades.

So what happened to the Netherlands? Did all of their good players get too old?

I bet they went down after the refs got wise to their faking fouls antics

Pretty much. But they're not producing many top players which is unusual for them, they've always had a few. Robben, Sneijder, van Persie, Huntelaar are all well into their 30s. 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.

I would rate this match 2/10.

Explosive start then really boring.

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

debaserr · 07-01-2018, 02:26 PM

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

That defender should return to Denmark a hero.

Sacrificed himself.
