Dave Posted June 28 Posted June 28 Whilst the Dutch will feel they've got lucky by finishing third and avoiding Belgium I have been impressed with how organised Romania have been defensively and effective on the counter attack. I fancy Holland to win, but by no means is this a guarantee. Quote
Michael Posted July 1 Posted July 1 The Dutch are placed as outright favourites to win this match. But I think this could be the surprise of this round, as I think this Romanian side are capable of causing an upset. Quote
Redcanuck Posted July 2 Posted July 2 The Dutch are another team that has not played up to their potential. Romania looked great against Ukraine in their first game, poor against Belguim and average in their 3rd game. So who knows how this will go. Koeman got the line up wrong against Austria and Holland looked fragile,e at the back, but they are a more talented team so I think they will just edge it. Quote
Michael Posted July 2 Posted July 2 Dennis Man cuts inside and he has a shot that goes narrowly over the Dutch cross-bar! Quote
Michael Posted July 2 Posted July 2 (edited) Gakpo scores a lovely goal to give the Netherlands the lead! Netherlands 1-0 Romania Edited July 2 by Michael Quote

They got the goal sure, however Romania were the better side in the early part of this half, but since the Dutch scored, the Dutch have had most of the possession. But then again, most teams have the bulk of possession against Romania, because that's how Romania play. The Dutch haven't even created any clear cut chances since the goal. The Romanian keeper has had nothing to save. Edited July 2 by Michael Quote
Michael Posted July 2 Posted July 2 Dragus cuts inside and has a shot at goal saved by Verbruggen! Quote
Michael Posted July 2 Posted July 2 (edited) Malen comes on for Bergwijn at the start of the 2nd half. Edited July 2 by Michael Quote
Michael Posted July 2 Posted July 2 Stanciu whips in a free-kick but Verbruggen comes out and fists it away. Quote
Michael Posted July 2 Posted July 2 Depay has a shot at goal blocked by the defender, eventually the ball falls into the hands of Nita. Quote
Michael Posted July 2 Posted July 2 Gakpo goes on a long run and he has a powerful shot from outside the area well saved by Nita! Quote
Michael Posted July 2 Posted July 2 (edited) Gakpo puts the ball in the net, but he looks offside! Edited July 2 by Michael Quote

Tbf we've hardly ever played Gakpo on the left, which seems to be his best position. Maybe with Slot we'll see him get a run out on the left over Diaz. Nunez at Uruguay makes sense, the side there is built for him being the main man - with us he's just another cog in our machine. Quote
Michael Posted July 2 Posted July 2 Malen scores his 2nd goal and the Netherlands 3rd on the counter attack. That was a good finish from Malen! Quote
