Euro: Group D: Netherlands vs. France

[serp]

No idea.


Anymore?

I mean there were scoring chances in the game . The last 10-15 minutes that completely stopped

Rabiot sucks.

Stupid man bun.

 

[Karterthadon]

These two teams are having a "mid-off" as kids would say nowadays.

 

[robertmac43]

Lol Rabiot...

 

[Power Man]

Doesn't seem like either team thinks it's worth to try anything risking at this stage. 1 point pretty much guarantees both teams advance so not trying very hard. Any goal that happens would be out of sheer coincidence.

Would be nice karma if it’s at the expense of Austria

I have theory you won’t like

Dunno, I found this game quite entertaining. It's not the England games.

 

[Savant]

Correct decision on the offside, yet a fraudulently bald refereeing performance to get there. Why can't England (and Scotland, though we have the excuse of fewer resources) look at how it's done in other countries and... maybe... learn????

If that’s the rule, they need to change the rule

 

[Power Man]

Giroud with the acrobatic goal

It's definitely more entertaining then the England games.

After the first 7 minutes I thought we were info for a high octane, back and forth affair. Instead it's been sporadic and filled with low quality plays.

 

[Power Man]

Kounde looks like Stallone

He's in an offside position and interfering with the goalie's ability to (try to) make the save.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Final minutes have been like Denmark-Sweden from 2004.

 

[Savant]

He's in an offside position and interfering with the goalie's ability to (try to) make the save.

But the goalie isn’t getting there, and where else is the Dutch player supposed to go? He’s not exactly setting a pick

 

[Karterthadon]

West Germany - Austria in 82.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

France had thei chances and should have won. Too bad they were awful in the last third.

 

[Evilo]

But the goalie isn’t getting there

That you think.

 

[Karterthadon]

France haven't scored in two games.

 

[Savant]

That you think.

He’s not inspector gadget

 

[Theokritos]

With two games played, France's only goal so far has been scored by Maximilian Wöber (Austria).

 

[koyvoo]

France haven't scored in two games.

Three games if you count their final warmup vs Canada

 

[Ceremony]

Was the shot really that far away from where the goalie was? I was half asleep for most of the half so don't really remember.

Maybe I'm used to hockey reviews where players being around where the goalie is is more common and pronounced but to me this was a pretty obvious decision.

 

[Evilo]

After two games....

Bad news :
We have zero offensive game. DD's offensive choices are just terrible (Thuram needs to go).
0 goal in 2 games with and without Mbappe.

Good news :
We are extremely solid defensively (though as can be seen, a fluke goal can always happen).
Kante is vintage Kante.
DD always plays very defensive in group stage and feels confident his team will win KO games. So far, so good.

In this game :
+ : Kante, Maignan, Saliba, Tchouameni

- : Thuram, Griezmann, Dembele, Theo

 

[Moncherry]

Imagine paying hundreds of euros to watch that shit. What a disgrace.

 

[Evilo]

He's not that far from the ball (though I do think he wouldn't reach it). But again, a player standing next to the goalie on the path of the goal is totally hindering the play.

Imagine paying hundreds of euros to watch that shit. What a disgrace.

My exact words 10 minutes ago. People paying tons of money for ticket+hotel+travel for that crap? Ouch.
