I watched the Ivory Coast vs Scotland game at the Hill Dickinson a couple of months ago, and they looked a pretty decent side. Germany will be a tougher opposition, of course.

Ah, nice. Did our guy Diomande play?
It’s one thing I love about the summer tournaments, watching teams I don’t normally watch. I saw their warmup game against France, and was quite impressed, thought they looked like a team to look out for. And their game against Equador backed it up.
From a ‘big team’ POV it doesn’t get much better than Germany’s group to prepare for the k.o. stage. The order of the three opponents (from easy Curaçao to pretty difficult Ecuador) should help growing together as a team.
He played an hour. The report is here along with match highlights if you are in the UK:
Sweden are so winning.
I hope not. There isn’t a more refreshing beverage during hot summer days than Swedish tears.
There are limits to my Good Will. If they played a dictatorship or the USA, then I would cautiously cheer for them though ![]()
Sorry, looks like my pic didn’t load. In stadium now, and I ve seen more Mexico shirts than Sweden. Sea of orange though! Hip Holland Hup!
Seen a few LFC too!
Tad salty for my taste.
Easily 75% Oranje here
Those Dutch jackets are horrible
1-0 Orange BriBro scored. Gakkers assist
That didn’t take long.
Cody with a left footed cross.
Why does he neve…ahhh fuck it
Very nice goal
Who had money on this being the first goal scorer?

Good move that by the Dutch, nice assist by the Gakpo.
Proper CF play by Brobbey
Gapko’s like a new man…
Gakpo looks lean, fit and deadly. Brilliant cross, this. He looks everything but the player he has been all season.
Sweden struggling with Brobbey.
Nice spot by Koeman
