  1. Holland seem to have completely abandoned the game plan that got them level to the completely ineffectual style they started with
  2. Netherlands have Tim Krull on the bench ready for pens?
  3. Momentum all with the Dutch now, shame they didn’t start the game with more positivity. Argentina can’t live with the direct balls, the disparity in height is hilarious
  4. Refs have been brilliant as a whole at ignoring players going down too easily when overplaying or under pressure but this ref has bitten at everything. Killed the momentum so many times
  5. This ref is a massive **** whopper
  6. We’ve played about 10 seconds of football this first 3 minutes
  7. If this was a group stage game it gets 10 minutes injury time. Reckon this gets 3/4 I stand corrected!
  8. Should be a good last 10! The insane injury time additions seem to have disappeared recently.
  9. At what point does Van Gaal try and take a risk and commit men forward. Has Martinez made a save? Talk about going out with a whimper.
  10. He definitely gave him a little push but didn’t look anything like enough to knock him off his feet
  11. Countless times the Dutch have had runners on the shoulder but decline, to pass it sideways and backwards. Everything to feet. Weird tactics and tempo, especially given they are losing.
  12. Netherlands need to up the tempo, such a pedestrian game.
  13. Does look like he's done as a starter at the top-level, not really too surprising at touching 38 though.
  14. I think you may be correct. Fernandes alone is enough for me to wish them nothing but the worst.
  15. Portugal are under-rated. Quality throughout and that’s with Ronaldo, Neves, Cancelo and Leão on the bench.
  16. Brilliant goal that, Brazil look ruthless.
  17. What an incredibly simplistic way of viewing things. You must have been over the moon when Villa appointed Roberto Di Matteo
  18. Well hopefully the power of your hopes and dreams will finally propel us to international honours. I personally would put more faith in us actually making the most of a talented generation with a decent manager.
  19. Well yes, you do normally need to beat the top sides to win a major tournament. Despite our comically easy runs in both prior competitions, looks like even the forums resident number one Southgate fan is under no illusions we'll do anything but revert to type and fall short once we face someone we aren't a clear favourite over.
  20. Bellingham is something special, very naive from Senegal over committing so early.
