And they did nothing with the possession.

Well it's kind of hard to score when you play almost the whole 2nd half a man down, especially against tough opposition like the Czechs. Like I said, any of the remaining sides in this competition would have found it equally as tough if they went a man down early in the 2nd half against the Czechs.

But you said they controlled the game before the red, so why didn't they score then? Maybe it's because they aren't as good as suggested..

What on earth are you on about? Teams don't choose when to score. If they had a full set of players for the 2nd half, then we could have perhaps seen a goal. Furthermore, you seem to be dismissing the Czechs, they are a very good organised side themselves. No side in this tournament will find it easy against them in the up-coming knockout stages.

What are you on about? I said the Dutch weren't that good, they weren't that good, showed it today and you've been arguing against all day like the Dutch were playing well!

I've never dismissed the Czechs, have a word with yourself, in fact I said the complete opposite many times. xD Christ mate, ,just log off.

Doesn't change the fact Germany had 75% possesion and were still not the better team versus Hungary, though to be fair.

PS: Mentioned that as a sign that stats are misleading sometimes also the only stat interesting in the end are goals after final whistle.:)

The Dutch have proved their credentials with some excellent performances in this competition. Any one with a brain will know that the sending off was the turning point in this game. If you know that the Czechs are a very good side, then why on earth would you suggest that it is easy to score against them? I think you are the one who needs to log-off, you just contradict yourself. xD

Excellent performances? Okay performances maybe. I didn't say it was easy to score against the Czechs, did I? You just read what you want to read.

You insinuated it by asking how come the Dutch didn't score against them in the 1st half.

That's only because you said the Dutch were controlling the game xD

So does controlling most of the possession in the 1st half, always equate to goals when you are playing against very good opposition such as the Czechs?

How?  They have done press conferences threatening to walk off the pitch! There were 30k Dutch fans there! They were looking for excuses and now they deserve to be called out for it

Yes but just them? Wasn't their fault De Ligt had a big moment of idiocy, was it? And Stekelenburg going walkabout for the goal and giving away a stupid corner? But yeah, blame the black players.

De Ligt and Stekelenburg are black

Well then, I think that even you know that the answer is no. 

Mate, I don't even know what you are arguing against. You just keep quoting me. The Dutch didn't play well today, nor do I think they were a great team, I didn't say they were shit, nor did I say the Czechs were shit. That is all I said.

Mate, I said from the start that you are entitled to your opinion, but you wanted to debate this further. xD For the record, I don't think that they had a great game today either, no side is able to always play superbly. But they have some excellent players and they proved what they are capable of during the group stage. They go out today and the Czechs advance, I wish the Czechs all the best. You don't seem to rate the Dutch players as highly as I do, that's your opinion and you are entitled to it.
