Spike Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 Just now, Michael said: Yes and what exactly is the relevance of that? Even Diego Maradona got sent off several times during his career. Maradona backed it up by being the greatest ever, don’t think de Ligt has done that so far. Plenty of teams win with a man down, why can’t the Netherlands do it if they are as good as you say? Mind you I didn’t even say that they were a bad team, just not as good you’d think.

Bit harsh on the Czechs to ignore their impact on today's game.

He's one of the best defenders in the world. Being a man down is an obvious disadvantage, especially when you are playing a very organised and competent team like the Czechs. It would be a hard task for all the remaining teams left in this tournament.

I'm not the one saying how good the Dutch are despite being outplayed before and after the red card. The Czech were always better today, they are underrated while the Dutch are overrated.
montybhopa Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 Czech would have easily scored a few more if they wanted

He isn't ready, he had a bad season with Juventus and had a bad Euros, is it his fault? Maybe not but he'll be better in the future.

Poor game management from DeBoer, surely he doesn’t stay in the job after this is over. Well done to the Czech though, they actually controlled the game perfectly. Still, I’m hoping Denmark get by them next round.

Even with being a man down for most of the 2nd half, the Dutch have had most of the possession in this match at full time, that should be some indicator as to how they controlled much of he game. The sending off was a clear turning point.

Panna King Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 All the talk about the colour of the captain armband before the game and that was it. Need to change the captain and manage asap.

Hard to understand why KNVB thought De Boer was a good option to replace Koeman. Dude failed big time at Inter, Crystal Palace and Atlanta. Great player, but bad coach.

That isnt' control 52% - 48% possession to the Dutch, does tell us something when you factor in the fact they played most of the 2nd half a man down.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted June 27, 2021 Subscriber Posted June 27, 2021 England haven't looked amazing and Germany were only impressive in one of their group games. It would be more than fair for Sweden, Ukraine, Denmark and the Czechs to be getting excited too.
