Man dem wrestling Messi when he tries to run

 

[TheAlbionist]

Coming from the era of bulky Sondico shinpads it's wild seeing players wearing child size shinpads

I bet they don't even tie their laces round the bottom of their boots anymore. No clue.

 

[UnQuantized]

Netherlands not working hard enough of the ball, need to try winning the ball earliier.

 

[nyknick]

If only Messi could pass to himself

 

[Liu Kang]

i cant figure out van gall's strategy?

My take is that he is always trying to have his wing backs isolated against the opposition full backs but the transmission from side to side is too slow. I feel like Arg is doing a good job as shutting down De Jong who's supposed to facilitate that.

 

[Fortunate Lee]

De Jong probably the most useful useless player

He will never do shyt that decides the game

BLIND is shyt, take him out!

Messi again

 

[Jean toomer]

Absolutely no sense of urgency from the Dutch. Midfield is anonymous and defense looks suspect.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Virgil is washed.

 

[TheAlbionist]

Messi looks like he got kicked in the balls.

 

[Jean toomer]

Blatant dive

 

[UnQuantized]

De Jong probably the most useful useless player

He will never do shyt that decides the game

Good description of him. Technically skilled, composed, balanced player who isn't as decisive as he should be.

Messi styling on them

 

[Nero Christ]

Oh man

 

[Fortunate Lee]

That was close
