Oh dear, not a good start to the evening. A bird got into the conservatory and crapped on the telly.
I was just looking at the Curaçao squad and they are mostly employed in the less fashionable parts of the Dutch league. There’s a couple of English Championship players. It should be interesting to see how they hold up (or not) against Germany.
The host on TSN Canada questioned about hydration break in a closed, air-conditioned stadium. But FIFA set out the silly rule.
Curaçao has the same population as Paderborn.
Does that mean that half of them are British squaddies?
Tahith Chong used to play for ManU.
Só Wirtz, Gakpo, VVD, Grav, Frimpong, Endo and Isak all appearing tonight.
It’s pretty much half of the players out there isn’t it for us?
Not Endo. He is out of WC. Frimpong was not chosen for Netherlands.
Oh I didn’t hear about that.
Yeah just noticed now he had 16 posts.
Wirtz assists.
Our neighbours heard us cheering half a minute before their coverage caught up. Terrestrial telly has some advantages.
Against a Low block as well 
Lovely assist from Wirtz
I’m actually waiting for the question: Who the hell is Nmecha? 
Edit
Former ManCity Youth player, now BVB
Yeah Sky and others have been able to bridge that delay quite well and it’s down to 20 seconds or even less.
I think La Liga Tv is almost nothing on Flashscore but ITV seems to have not been able to lower the delay down.
Wirtz is looking lively.
As if he has a pair of eyes on the back of his head eh?
Our commentary described it as a “simple finish”…taking it first time and bending it around the last defender…a simple finish
