Is this the Dutch way of playing now? Got goals from long shots or set pieces, then slow the game, camp back and let the opponent score. Why do I feel like I have watched this at least 30 times :thinking:

Koeball.

Draw was the fair result, despite the injuries Japan have…they did exceptionally well.

Big Virg should’ve done better with the goal. He let the little feller get in behind him.

Koeman decided to put in defensive subs to protect the lead. That one hurts.

Very glad that didn’t end in defeat for the Samurai Blue.

By the way, does anyone know why nearly all the people in those enclosures behind the goals were wearing yellow shirts?

The Dutch coaches today are more or less all the same - tactically and mentality wise. It feels like they don’t want any stars/leaders in the squad - nothing special.

That’s why I said ‘Slot is just another Dutch coach’ in October.

They should sack Koeman and appoint big Ange.

Can we stop looking at groups and going “in fact that puts Japan top”

It doesn’t fucking matter, 2 teams haven’t played yet and 2 teams drew.

One of them would have to be top.

TSN current analysis:
VdV played everyone onside for Japan’s 1st goal.
VvD got done for the 2nd goal and it’s his responsibility.

The strangest thing is that the Japanese goal scorer outjumped VVD for the equaliser.

In the new rules Japan go top because the Dutch got more yellow cards.

Yup, the fair play rule.

VvD mis-timed the jump. The TSN panel disagreed with each other on VvD MotM award. Hahaha.

I know but it doesn’t matter, two teams have played.

It’s like giving Everton the title after 2 games

Cote D’Ivore Educador & Diomande watch, finish the last 2 eps of Euphoria, stick on a bit of porn, or just get an early night?

Ooooh, Bazoumana Toure on one side and Diomande the other. Might be worth a watch. Joel Ordonez there too, presumably at RB.

not at all surprising that the first half versus Japan, Netherlands played like a slightly better version of us from last season.

I might be a bit of a weirdo, but I’ll definitely choose Diomande watch over porn most days of the week.
