I never thought I'd see the day where England were categorically better than Holland. The sending off made it easier for France but the Dutch still only managed 1 shot prior to that and no matter who they have in charge, the team continues to be an embarrassment. I feel for their fans. The infrastructure and support is there to produce top class talent but it seems to have missed this generation.
@SteveHyland They've been on decline for quite some time now. Ajax's biggest stars used to be Dutch, now they have Dolberg, Onnana, Younes, and Ziyech who aren't Dutch. The fact that it took those international stars for Ajax to reach the later stage of European competition for the first time in about a decade says a lot about the sad state of Dutch football. Where's the new van der Sar, the new van Nistelrooy, the new Davids, the new Overmars? the last of their world class players are way past their best (Robben, Sneijder, van Persie) and they don't even have any potential replacements that has 1/2 of their talent.
@SteveHyland It's time (for the heck of it) to start injecting some of the younger talent into this squad. Jerry St. Juste and Riechedly Bazoer come to mind, Van Dijk as well. Robben and Sneidjer should be out or brought on as subs more or less.
If France lines up as predicted, it'll be possibly the first team to line up with more left-footers than righties: Umtiti, Kurzawa, Fekir, Griezmann, Lemar, Giroud. Random, but interesting...
@viratbossmahi France 100%, the prospect of Dutch football is not bright unfortunately. And this really could be a tough game for France but it depends on how they perform, not the Dutch. If France is good, it's over within 15 minutes.

please anyone knows where I can get the events of the 26th min ?
Please...was there a free kick between 26:00 - 26:59 for the France vs Holland match ?
Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think Robben is officially old.
@Stevus He hasn't won a single dribble in three consecutive games. So yes, he is officially old...
@Stevus His teammates officially suck.
The Netherlands are embarassing...
The standard incompetent italian referee. Doesn't see a penalty. Invents a red card.
