Euro 2020 - General Talk Thread (32 Viewers)

[Fred]

Yeah, our chances to reach the final are quite big I'd say. We're facing the Czech's after this which should be doable. And the winner of Wales - Denmark after that. In Both those matches we'll be clear favorites and I can't imagine the Czechs causing an upset. Denmark might be more difficult but lets be honest, they are no world beaters either. It'll be an easy road to the final.

I hope it happens just to experience Amsterdam going crazy!!

Denmark are currently a better team than the Dutch. Their problem is that they don't quite have the individual quality up top to decide games on consistent enough basis. Very difficult and dangerous team to face nonetheless.

Let's be honest here for a second, Sweden - Denmark in the final would be epic. Especially if it ends 2-2 and goes to penalties.

Especially with an Italian referee

But it can't happen because they can only meet in the semis.

I'm really curious what this statement is based on?

I don't think we're a top quality side by any means but I think the Dutch squad sure is better than the Danish one. We had 9 points in our group, with 7 goals scored and only 2 conceded. Denmark lost against f'in Finland and Belgium and was 20-30 minutes away from not even qualifying to the next round. I really can't fear a front three of Braithwaite, Poulsen and Damsgaard against young goat MDL or one of the finest defenders in Italian football: De Vrij.

Yes I saw that after I wrote my comment


But I agree, with an Italian referee it would have been cherry on top.

On paper certainly not imo. While we have a great team right now is the Dutch still overall a better side.

And they're even without their best player in Van Dijk.

It's probably 60-40 in the Dutch favour.

Best Dutch player is De Ligt now, I don't think Virgil will ever reach his old form again.

It's like you can read my mind. I guess great minds think alike.

An example of someone who doesn't know how to copy and paste images.

I was surprised of Renato Sanches performance in the euro.
I was getting Zidane vibes in his ability to guard the ball and bounce opponents from him.
Can someone influential start a rumour about Juve interested on Renato, maybe someone from the board will catch it.

Me too! Seemed to always be on the TV screen producing. Probably too much money for Juve..

We gotta wait and see.

Van Dijk before his injury was easily the best Dutch player, but yeah it's difficult to see him reach that same height again.

So you're looking for The Bridge final?

Take it from someone who lived through the Bay Bridge World Series ... you don't wanna invite that.

"Running to Stand Still"... the fifth track on U2's Joshua Tree about heroin addiction.

If you notice, how it started is how it ended... which is all for naught.

Yeah, Van Dijk is broken.

The statement is based on watching both teams play football.

Emphasis on team. Dutch certainly have the better individuals and for that reason they would probably be considered as the slight favorites.

I'm not talking about on paper. I think Denmark play better as a team. They are well set up defensively and they press really well as a unit.

Idk if you are worse as a team as denmark, but your defense isn't as good as the numbers suggest imo. Even Macedonia had very good chances against you and it definitely looks shaky back there.

That's more of a team/tactics issue of course, the players are fine.

You'd lose 4-0 against Belgium.

If there's one team I do not worry about, it's the Netherlands.

Very odd to be this arrogant after three games in the easiest group of all.

Agreed. We're gonna make it to the final.

Just watched a summary of the group phase.

This Italy side is a beauty, hope they go all the way.

Not really. Everyone in Lille are on discount it seems.
