Administrator Stan Posted November 25, 2022 Author Administrator Share Posted November 25, 2022 GAKPO!! What a player he is. Excellent strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Going to hurt us knowing we'd practically had Cody Gakpo signing agreed just before the transfer window shut, only to balls it up. No chance now. Looks a star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted November 25, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted November 25, 2022 The Dutch, when they get sent home, will have to take a hard look at themselves and ask how they assembled a squad that completely lost interest in the game towards the middle of the second half. So many lazy passes, absolutely no will to push the ball up and play as a unit. Ecuador on the other hand were just hungry for it more and really should have won that game. In other news, Qatar are out of the WC. First to play, first out. Seems reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 The Netherlands had a great early start to this match with a lovely goal from Gakpo, as his left footed crisp shot, found the corner of the net. Ecuador though fought back well. They created several chances and eventually scored through non other than Enner Valencia. A shot from Estupinan was blocked and parried by Dutch goalie Noppert and Valencia was on hand to score from the rebound. That was Valencia's 3rd goal at this World Cup and his 3rd goal in 2 matches. Ecuador would go on to hit the crossbar through Gonzalo Plata, but the match finished in a 1-1 draw. The Netherlands will not be happy with their performance today. Like some other European sides, they appeared to tire and it could be that the high humidity levels got to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Enner Valencia is the current leading scorer at this World Cup, as things stand right now. The former West Ham and Everton forward, has scored all of Ecuador's goals so far at this World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
