Turks just straight outplaying the Dutch individually, very surprised. They make so many dangerous runs while the Dutch end most possessions with an offside flag or a flop because they just can't get thru the defense.
Not much Jekyl and Hyde in the English team. They can't play as a team and rely on moments of brilliance from their players. Lucky for them they have world-class players.
Goes a long way in explaining the surge in extreme right politics across Europe. Scary shit.
As an immigrant myself, it hurts my soul extra special to see people refusing to integrate. I came to Canada, played hockey, integrated, and am proud to be half-Canadian and half-Dutch. To see people who grew up and were born probably 3 generations in the Netherlands shit on the country hurts me deep.
There’s not much of a difference between European and Canadian cultures (western) but the gap between east and west seems to be growing fuelled by religion and rabid nationalism.
Nationalisms are growing East and West. It's a big problem.
I mean, these guys are also extreme right... just part of a different tribe. Dumb shit all along, but there's a reason why far-right politicians would rather make policy against poor refugees than Turkish fascists.
Tired of making excuses for them tbh. Rioting in the streets and abusing Dutch fans in the Netherlands. I am so glad they lost tonight. There are so many good Turks in the Netherlands, especially The Hague, they need to take some responsibility for allowing this to fester in their communities.
They had already proven their talent and strength of spirit by winning concacaf qualifying with a limited manager.
?? We play one of them even if we lose. Tourney has a third place game.piss off with this
