[Devil]

Potential banana skin for Netherlands this one, I didn't rate their group at all so it's hard to judge the level of their performance. 

[Panna King]

Will be a test as we are playing in Romania,  I believe we will have enough to win as Austria and Ukraine are probably on par with Czechs.

You are not playing in Romania, you are playing in Hungary. Budapest is the capital of Hungary. Bucharest is the capital of Romania.

Confirmed @Panna King was one of those 6 fans that went to Bucharest instead of Budapest the other day then

Shit! Tickets booked already 

[Panna King]

Anyone know any good bars in Romania to watch the football? 

[Ploughendplonker]

I think Czech's may well win this, I certainly think it'll be ET. Netherlands obviously did the job, but in the one match I saw (v Austria) they didn't need to do much cause their opponents played like a Ryman League side. 

[Dan+]

This game feels like dejavu from years back.

[Lucas]

I feel like the Dutch are building a bit of momentum. They have had very little scares bar the first game and have some players hitting good form in Depay, Wijnaldum and Dumfries.

Personally think they'll have just a bit too much for the Czechs who will make it difficult, but probably don't have enough cutting edge.

That 3-2 game in Euro 2004 was one of the best matches I've seen.

Literally 90mins of end to end attacking.

To come from 2-0 and win 3-2, that Czech side were special and should have been contesting the final really.

Are you thinking of the same game?

Heitinga was sent off with 15mins to go, and you nearly saw it out till the last minute.

[Panna King]

Indonesia will be banging again if we win!

Yea I was thinking of the one a few years ago which was 3-2 also.  The 2004 was Dick Advocaat's fault for taking Robben off after 60 minutes for Paul Bosvelt 

[Panna King]

The Czech Republic have come to a bizarre roadblock in their preparations for the last-16, having to disembark their plane to Budapest after its door couldn't close. 

Having finished second to England in Group D, the Czech team face a table-topping side in Holland in the second round, due to kick-off at 5pm UK time in the Puskas Arena on Sunday. 

The Czech squad have been flying between matches on a private plane this summer, but they were grounded when the inflatable emergency slide was accidentally deployed. 

 

 

 

[Stan]

Enjoying this Netherlands side. Malen causing issues and shakiness in the Czech defence. 

[Stan]

Coufal

 

[Redcanuck]

Czech's almost scored there.  Great last  ditch defending by de Ligt.

[Stan]

Linesman in the Czech end doesn't like putting up his flag for obvious offsides. 

[Tommy]

What a save. 

[Stan]

Malen should do way better there. 

[Devil]

Instant red for me that should have been. 

[Stan]

That's deliberate handball from De Ligt. Denies a goalscoring opportunity? Should be off.
