Euro Semi finals - ENG V NL; SPA v FRA

[DuncanPatterson]

Will the Dutch try and hold on for pens...

Bad idea given that England are now the Germans in that respect

(Yes I did just call you Germans)

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

England totally dominant but not creating clear cut chances. The Dutch absolutely starved of the ball but not creating a huge amount when they have it.

Saka having a very good game. Kane is moving like an oil tanker stuck in a canal.

Yes, similar pattern to the Swiss game actually. I'd watched the Swiss in other games and they looked impressively synchronised in both defense and attack. England to strangle teams.

I expected a bit more from the Dutch, especially on the counter.

 

[Papa Shango]

At least tankers move.

Probably not great at taking high pressure penalties though.

 

[coollino]

Looking forward to the Dutch getting the WarHorse on, proper football

 

[NathDogg]

The flaws in Van Dijk's game are massively exposed when his team is under the cosh.

His positioning is shocking.

He was bang average before his leg fell off, he just got away with absolute murder with the officials.

The hype and bs about the fella is farcical.

Nah, England look much better in this game, vs Switzerland it was equalish game with Swiss having better chances in the end.
Netherlands completely lost midfield battle tonight, they look so disorganized compared to even Slovakia.

Ian Wright hahaha. Embarrassing

 

[miami]

Neville 100% right.

 

[Mozza1987]

If that's reckless then may as well sack the game off now

 

[Drico]

I expected a bit more from the Dutch, especially on the counter.

I didn't, and have said as much. Bang average.

This match is there for the taking for England if they're good enough. Winning again on penalties would be an indictment of them ahead of a final that they will have a serious chance in if they brush the Dutch aside in the 90.

 

[summerisle]

Was an enjoyable half that -words I didn’t expect to type!

Wait for the start of the season, your expectations will be realised.

Koeman probably looks at him and thinks "I was miles better than you"

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Raving about the Dutch goal on Czech TV.

I'm not convinced, he's slipped as he hits it, gives the ball a weird almost "flat" trajectory.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Ian Wright stinking the place out trying to justify that penno.

 

[DuncanPatterson]

Watch out

Gary Neville's offended
