The Dutch certainly look the much more likely and should be ahead, but Ukraine break fast and it would not be a shock if they score. Most ‘fun’ 45 minutes to watch so far of these Euros for me.

Without doubt, great for a 0-0, defences for both sides look very poor. Great neutral match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 The Dutch look very good. Depay certainly looks a different player to when he was at United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Solid start by England. You want to gain momentum as tournament goes on so lots of room for improvement which is fine. Phillips very good. Croatia obviously not what they were but they created nothing and England were comfortable. From personal point of view I had my group tickets taken off me so I’m finding it hard to get too excited but hopefully when knockout stuff comes I’ll feel better about it.

Baba Yaga Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Great comeback from nowhere only to lose it a second time. Feel a bit for their keeper but they still have a good chance of going through. Dutch look pretty average on that display, can't see them getting that far. Yarmalenko early contender for goal of the season, nothing else he did game off really but when he got it right it was very special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In England’s case you have the bizzare situation that finishing 1st means they play a 2nd place team out of a group containing France, Germany, Portugal and Hungry. Finishing 2nd they potentially get a much easier last 16 tie.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Thought we were not bad today. Would still like to see Grealish amongst others as the tournament progresses but a solid win vs a good side. Fairly fast start, but Croatia did grow into it and though we had quite a bit more of the ball first half, they seemed to level it up, bit surprised to see stats showing same number of chances but I don't recall them having all that many. Our midfield though, fine, vs a strong trio for them, lack of defensive worries too given concerns prior to tournament about defence, first opening win at a Euros too I believe! Good start and plenty of room for growth. Just think of those we have in reserve too ie who didn't start today! Chilwell, Grealish, Sancho to name 3. Nice to see Bellingham get a start as well, think they said he was youngest ever at European Championship. Holland vs Ukraine was fun, good open game. Best of the tournament so far? Holland seem like they can be got at, definitely declined post Koeman IMO. They were very good for a couple of years under Van Gaal too but then at that time with to name a few, Robben, Sneijder, Van Persie, Van Der Vaart, Strootman I suppose that's a bit easier to do! (Though the last 2 missed WC 2014 through injury). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
