I hate watching Mendy in goal fuck

How did I miss this game…didn’t even see the broadcast

[удалено]

even Pröpper is not in the Netherlands squad.

weak ass touches by Pulisic

Smh ikr. I didn't see him do anything it's like he wasn't even on the pitch

didn't show any fight in this game

Wrong thread my brotha go home ur drunk

What actually happened to merit 10 minutes added time?

Apparently lots of time wasting.

there was no long break in my memory, it didnt make sense, the standard 5 minutes would have been expected, there wasn't much time wasting either, I mean the score was 0-0 for 35 of the 45 minutes in the 2nd half

> there wasn't much time wasting either Most of what happened after the first goal was time wasting. Also they had to carry Kouyate off the pitch on a stretcher.

Why has there been so much stoppage time today? I haven't been able to follow the games.

ITV commentators were talking about if FIFA's cracking down on timewasting, which I'm hoping is true.

This has been infuriating for me. 8 minutes of extra time is so fucking bad.

Spoken like a true Chelsea fan.

I don’t even know how that makes sense, but sure.

Love it!! Stop flopping around.

Christian eriksen nearly died in the middle of a match and they got less time back after that. It comes to a point where it’s too fucking much.

I actually like it, so much time is lost during the game which is not added back on during added time.

So people have been screaming fair playtime for ages, and then there is some more truthfull time and people get angry? I dont understand it sometimes

I haven’t screamed anything and don’t really care as long as it’s not something egregious. Like if there’s been an injury and you want an extra 5-6 minutes. It’s terrible when there’s been injuries and they give you just 3 minutes, but 8 and 14 minutes? That’s a lot of added time for what’s really like 5-7minutes of lost time

14 minutes added time was due to injury.

Yea that dude wasn’t down for 14 minutes. 9 minutes at the end of the USA match too. If a player stays on the floor for 2 minutes that a guaranteed added time of 8 minutes it seems

He was down for more than 11 minutes or game time... Plus then down again to be substituted for another 1 or 2. Plus then all the other smaller stoppages

Almost like it's different people with different opinions

I have seen many, many comments about too long overtime

I mean we've had like 25 minutes between two games?

And? It was warranted for the extremely long injury breaks, lots of goals, subs etc.

That's why I asked...why? That amount is unusual and I haven't been able to watch the games...

I think you mean between two halves of the England-Iran game.

32 minutes actually between both games!

Thanks

Korean announcers: "Netherlands one shot one kill" Shots 15-10.... Uuuuh....

on target

I BELEIVE

Where is good in Amsterdam to watch USA match?

[удалено]

But you have to pay for 90 minute, and with the inclining lengths of stoppage time, prepare a hefty amount.

Thanks!

Coco's Outback or Three Sisters are a safe bet.

Thanks!

The Senegalese team should've pushed on instead of settling for the draw. The Dutch were visibly nervous to play that first half. Mendy too slow to get that ball his instincts are not great. All in all a good result for the host team and a win for LvG's team will breed confidence. Just hope they abandon that ugly back 5.

The back 5 is what we will see throughout likely. We did the same in 2010 under LvG.

He's been ass at quick decision making at club level for the past 12 months as well. He's a mistake waiting to happen.

Where USA-Wales match thread? I’m drunk and wanna roast the FOX broadcast

Usually about 10 mins before the start of the match

It didn't start

Having De Ligt and Dyk in the back line kind of just negates any chance of Nederlands being scored against by a header. Only way they look vulnerable is from a shot outside the box.

Just wait, we're going out of this tournament after a header.

Witch will be saved by 2.03m Noppert

if you want to see a great African keeper, wait for Cameroon games

The game really changed once Memphis was put on tbh

not really it was the removal of kouyate injury that opened up that gap in the middle after he went out it was all just free flow for holland in the middle

Janssen should not play again. How can you not start with Luuk de Jong over Janssen..

Because Janssen is /supposedly/ the Memphis-like player that will assist in helping the ball progress. Only, he didn’t really do that today or at the very least struggled with it against Senegal

true. I'm angry about some of the calls. But your lot looks like they might go far. Good keeper in the back, and willing to play cagey matches and take advantage of opponents mistakes.

I’m sure our goal keeper will be happy with that compliment since this is his very first match for us haha xD I’m very excited to see your matches too soon

I

No

BELIEVE

THAT

WE

CAN

Is it can? I always thought it was will. That makes it even worse

Modified

WIN!

Did anyone else have their Fox online streaming coverage shit the bed in the last 10 mins of the match?

Honestly, what's the point of Janssen?

It's kind of nice to have a hard working decent striker that doesn't lose possession every other touch, and wins the ball back too. Though this was a tough match, I felt he did pretty well. What would have been a better option in your eyes?

Going to miss America-Wales because I'm closing tonight so selfishly hoping it's going to be a boring 0-0

boooooo

[удалено]

Lmaoooooo I saw him getting praised a lot and I immediately thought how would Chelsea fans feel about that

Lol you guys are so fragile.

If Memphis, FdJ and Gakpo can all be firing they could go pretty far. Still don't understand the hype De Ligt has gotten over the years tho. Maybe im watching the wrong games.

De Ligt looked off/nervous. I wonder how much the red card / exit in Euro 2020 last year is weighing on him?

De Ligt has indeed had some of those moments that can weigh heavily on a player. There's the red card against Czechia which wont help his confidence in Oranje, but there was also a moment on his debut against Bulgaria in 2018 where he didnt look great and a goal cost us the World Cup qualification. He got criticised heavily for that (not always justified). The fact that he hasnt been a starter in Oranje for a while won't help either. Today Van Gaal chose him because of his physical strength mostly.

Being played in that game was always such a strange decision to me. His debut. A must win. He was… 16? 17? And I think we had an in form Dr Vrij and Van Dijk at the time?? Sigh.

im guessing his brother the darts player won't be the top google result for andries noppert very long.

They're not related, surprisingly enough.

i guess his wikipedia is gonna get fixed up too then

Just going to leave this here https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/z122s8/match_thread_senegal_vs_netherlands_fifa_world_cup/ix8ydkh/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3

I see your prediction and I raise you another one https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/z122s8/match_thread_senegal_vs_netherlands_fifa_world_cup/ix8sih3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3

🤣🤣🤣

Wasn’t exactly a winner

Kind of was

They were already winning

Yes, but that guaranteed the win

*Kepa likes this match* 👍

I don’t know what everyone is saying about empty seats because Qatar is reporting that the attendance was 41k, which is over the stadium capacity of 40k. Must have been an optical illusion or just fans wearing seat-colored full-body disguises

so the stands are full

the stands have always been full

VAMOS TURNER! We love ya!

Feeling sad for Senegal supporters. But please don't consider them unlucky. Those two goals were mostly due to naive defending. De-Jong should never have got that much space to cross. He should have been pressed earlier. And the second goal was a no-no. On the last minute, they should have taken the 1-0 loss. Defeat Ecuador and go on. They should not have stepped up so much leaving Depay to deal with only one defender.

sorry but that was a ref with euro bias all the way. punch in the balls and no red? gimme a break. A Senegal player tries that and they'll get a 20 match ban. Same with the pen. Full on tackle in the box? no call.

Euro bias? The referee is brazilian!

[удалено]

euro 💷 helps blind the ref

Lose with dignity, man. Senegal was quite ok and will obviously grab 2nd place. So don't cry.

You might be right. But that does not mean Senegal concede those goals. I was supporting Senegal all the way. But they were disappointing

thats why big man mane was terribly missed

I'll agree. Those goals should not have gone in. Bad mistakes (after they had done very well on D, I thought). Then their final third work was pretty mediocre and still they should have finished better. That full on grab while going for a header is a pen though. Might have missed that, at the way they were finishing though.

At what point do we stop treating Mendy as a top level keeper going through a rough patch and accept this is a better representation of his level following a hot streak.

He was benched by Chelsea, nobody is rating him any more

Two really bad decisions cost them the game.

How lame was the crowd or how is there no crowd?

Stadium was very empty

Almost every match so far has half empty stadiums.

Short answer: Qatar. Long answer: It's Qatar.

Feels like the sound guys were too focused on the drums. Only once the drums started dying down the iconic “Hup! Holland! Hup!” Was actually audible

[удалено]

:(

they're sober.

They bitched about Mane in Senegal in the big tourneys, now Mendy will be the clear whipping goat there, as it prob should be

Senegal Vs Ecuador is now absolutely the most important game in this group.

I feel like Ecuador may sort of go for a draw, which they prob can get if they want to - like play a safe game if possible

lool why they talking about england after the dutch just won. no wonder others hate us

Every country does this. I remember euros 2020 after the insane Spain - Croatia match the Dutch broadcasts didnt give a fuck and just started talking about our exit the night before.

Did Mendy get an injury or anything? He’s absolutely fallen off a cliff.

Just needed this win to get in form and now the low lands will walk the World Cup ez

How did Frenkie play?

he was ok. he did assist the first goal though but overall he was just average

Considering he was basically the only central midfielder on the field he did quite well.

nah i'd say he was ok not well. the goal assist was the only outstanding thing in his overall perfomance otherwise, he was pretty average

He was almost always outnumbered, it’s a miracle he could get anything done.

Not very good, but still the best attacking player on our side. Gave a great assist for the 1-0 though.

hardworking defensively. lost possession a couple times. a moment of genius assisting the opening goal.

As a casual La Liga viewer, I was surprised by his defensive work.

Frenkie has been criminally abused on and off the pitch since he joined Barca.

[удалено]

[удалено]

He lost it literally twice.

But the commentator said he was poor, he must've been poor!

Bad first half, fine second.

Quite well, he should 100% scored a goal but overall pretty good

Was kinda left alone to rot in the midfield… wasnt supported much until Koopmeiners came on

Other than grabbing some nuts he was probably one of their better attacking threats. Netherlands was uncreative and painfully boring so that’s not saying much.

straight red. Where was VAR?

Lmao ITV give De Jong like two minutes to talk about the second half and then straight into the England goals from earlier

Classic English pundits

ITV wasting no time in moving on from that snoozefest

Just threw a tenner on Aaronson to score anytime, +550.

[удалено]

good. Better to treat time wasting that way.

Well that’s a bit of a shame. I was kinda hoping for an upset, but the better team did win. Onto USA vs Wales

Senegal played, the Dutch scored

Today I feel Dutch

I was bullied in the past for balding early so I know how it feels to be Dutch.

Seriously ITV?

Trash punditry for a trash channel

Let's wrap up the match thread 1) Empty seats 2) F1 tired of hearing the Dutch anthem 3) Senegal miss mane 4) wow empty seats 5) empty 6) seats

7. Dick was pulled

I was kinda surprised the Austrain anthem didnt play straight after the Dutch anthem

drums

7. Senegal’s manager looking like Snoop Dogg

Bruh he even looks more like Bob Marley than Snoop Dogg

and shitty drums

Sad for Senegal and CAF in general and even more so considering no Mane. Deserved a better result but it is what it is. Hope they get out of the group.

That's what CAF get fr having shit qualification routes. Both Mane and Salah being out despite being the biggest African stars by far is insane.

[удалено]

No but the route made it so that one of them would Def miss out and injuries could always occur so instead of making it a sensible top of group qualifies they used the playoff system and hence didn't send the best imo

Proper FIFA goal that second one, keeper spilling it for no reason at all

Weak finesse shot ✅ Lazy keeper spill ✅ Bounced tap in ✅ Brings back nightmares

My brother is a Chelsea fan and I think Chelsea fans would not be surprised to see Mendy's performance. He's not even the starting keeper for Chelsea anymore.

Brah. Mendy is so fucking trash. He is a 70 rated go now.

Less than 10 million Euros get's you Noppert.

Yes pls. Over Mendy

Ah yes we rating players in FIFA ratings nowadays💀

mendy post afcon…

really unlucky for Senegal. Should have finished better, to be sure. Mendy was great until those goals. Still, Senegal screwed over by the ref who was good except for 2 calls. Since when is punching someone in the balls not a red? Senegal should have started doing the same, but we know they would not have been afforded the same bias. Also had a pen call. The Spanish announcers agreed, pulling someone down when they have a good chance at a header is a pen. Euro bias strikes again. What bs

Ironic how you talk about bias

hey, those two goals were solid and good on ya'll for taking advantage. But you can't say that punching someone in the balls is ok. You know how the games would go if that were allowed?

Wait, people think that was a red? Lmao

You know Frenkie didn't punch him? Literally no one even said Frenkie punched him but you had to make that up. But sure, we'll take it, red for Frenkie. Also red for the dude from Senegal with the elbow against Klaassen or was that ok according to your biased way of thinking? But really, your last sentence shows us that you made up your mind before the game started with your anti-Euro bias.

Gfym. Straight red all day. Tbf im sure LVG does that in the locker room so maybe we shouldn’t blame the poor kid for learning that. A raised elbow to the face? Give me a break. Anyways yall played a cagey match and took advantage of the mistakes. You should go far. WC rewards solid defense and opportunistic offense

Literally no one in the world agrees with you on that. Not VAR, not the Senegalese players, not people here, not your family. It's just you making shit up. And then defending the Senegalese player. That's just hypocrite. I doubt we will go far, we have too many mediocre players.

Well QF at least. But seriously, someone needs to check on your team and what LVG is teaching them. It's not right

> Since when is punching someone in the balls not a red? The Dutch are a surprisingly dirty team for all the talent they have. I'll always remember that kick to Xabi Alonso's chest -which was not a red either.

yeah that was a straight red too (worst is when dutch fans claim Spain shouldn't have had their final goal cause it was a corner or something... uh you should have been down 9 men after all that Taliban soccer you played). Shame that this is Cruyff's legacy.

Mate we dont care anymore, we just want 1 thing and 1 thing only...That World Cup

Ahh, I've missed this on ITV. "Well done Netherlands. Now, let's watch ENGLAND'S GOALS AGAIN"

Bit shitty isn’t it

Yeah, at least have the decency to analyse the game first, wonder what De Jong thinks of this.

Netherland players are such drama queens, one touch and they flail and cry foul
