Holland rockin powder blue now

3-nil and the first half isn't even over

 

[phcitywarrior]

Really want to observe FDJ and Bruno Fernandes this game.

Side note, Euro 2020 gonna be hot. On paper, so many nations have solid squads front to back

France, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, England, Portugal, Italy, Croatia, Spain

Berhalter was basically a nepotism/status quo hire and he already playing faves with Trapp and Zardes

Hire a coach who was barely .500 in the MLS brehs

What's hilarious is if you go to places like MLSSoccer.com (which you shouldn't, but I digress), the analysts there were on some "He gets the most out of a squad with shytty DPs and marginal MLS players" shyt, like that in any way translates to developing and coaching players at the international level. The whole media is out here covering for US Soccer's bullshyt. That's why USMNT will never even sniff a World Cup final, much less win one - can you imagine if the English or French or Spanish or Brazilian or Argentinian media made a managerial hire with that as the reasoning for it? The public would never let that happen, the media would criticize it all day.

Here, not enough people care and the media is in the pocket of US Soccer, so this is what we get.

I don’t know as much as y’all but please explain Will Trapp being an anchor

When they lost to Trinidad & Tobago awhile back, I knew it was over.

Isn't there any young striking talent in Netherlands? Babel shouldn't be close to any NT

 

[FakeNews]

Isn't there any young striking talent in Netherlands? Babel shouldn't be close to any NT

Justin Kluivert, some breh at Club Brugge, Quincy Promes.

Basically there's no reason to have Babel anywhere near your starting lineup in 2019

Holland doesn't really have a quality out and out striker, hence Depay playing as a 9. They should drop Babel for Promes or move Depay out wide and bring in Luuk de Jong.

The lack of a clinical striker may be what does Holland come Euros when compared to other nations.

Fernandes ain’t shy.....

We smacked Venezuela 3-1 a few days ago with a C squad

Yeah Netherlands need some better attacking options; they always seem to easily get pressed by their opponents.

You get the feeling the opponent scoring a goal is inevitable.

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

Lowkey Virgil van Dijk might be the best centre half I've ever seen

The freedom he gives them to play a lot of football and keep atracking knowing VVD's gonna put the clamps on the other team is a total game changer to put it mildly

Otherwise known as a Rolls Royce.
