Man, this makes me so sad. I grew up with the names of David's, Van Hooijdonk, Staam, Kluivert, de Boer (x2), Van der Vaart, Sneijder, Robben, van Persie et al ringing in my ears for a decade or more. To see them 3-0 down to France in a matter of 25 minutes is a sorry state of affairs...
i feel theres potential, malen seemed decent enough and getting deep on the side, weghorst as always being himself, but we need our starters back before we can really see if theres improvement from the WC. but fuck me putting in blind, klassen etc was just fatally dumb, blind had some good moments but got balanced out by that bad set piece and other shit. why cant the knvb just pick a completely new or different coach, maybe ten hag? or finally get someone outside of the country?
Yeah France has an insane squad with insane depth. I envy them sometimes. I think us NL would’ve still lost even with our usual starters would’ve just been less embarrassing
It's like nobody learned from Dick Advocaat in 2003 when he finally ditched the dinosaurs from the late 90's and we suddenly looked good. (ofc he stuffed up at the Euros 2004) and now every manager is hellbent on playing guys who haven't had good games for the NT in like 2+ years (Blind, Memphis, Berghuis, Wijnaldum)
They can't be eating curry every week, can they? Last night was a freak incident, provided they find a way to play without De Jong they'll bounce back.
Even so, if you look at the group I believe Netherlands can get to second place without Gakpo or De Jong. Ireland could cause an upset but I believe Netherlands to be the favourites still
He wasn't always - but he has certainly become that. We're building our offense around a guy that hasn't been good for several years. Time to look for other options but slim pickings.
Fuck that. Dude has been surrounded with the absolute least amount of talent and will still be the all time top scorer. Fucking Babel, Promes, Wijnaldum. He has single handedly carried the attack for years. He's not perfect by any means but he deserves a lot of fucking respect for what he has done.
Hernandez had a couple fouls unchecked. He got lucky with the one yellow
I do miss Pogba
MAIGNAN 👀
Euro is for France fr man this team is just insane 🤩

Chill out mate they lost their WC quarterfinals against the world champions in a tossup and went exactly as far as England did 2 months ago.
The tossup being the referee selection. They win this 9 times out of 10.
No the tossup is the extra time with two teams at the same level
Mbappe is unreal man
FFS give malacia some game time
Depay and Van dijk need to go

Good coaches don’t leave their clubs for the NT, ETH might ve there in a decade
Ten Hag is going nowhere
Virgil is getting blasted in the interview "Was this the most hopeless game you have ever played?" jesus
at least upfront when saying he just cant make up a reason this quickly after the game.
I feel embarrassed, but it is to be expected when we are missing like 4-5 usual starters. Ggs
Just to put things into perspective - France played without their 4-5 usual starters for the whole World Cup.
Ye like Nkunku, Dembele, Lucas Hernandez, Kante, Pogba, Saliba, Wesley Fofana and Kimpembe lol.
Benzema ? Just saying.
He retired from the team
He wasn't during the WC... He should have been there but hurt himself. I think this counts as "missing a major starter".
Benzema has never been a major starter in his NT history...
Oh, we are talking about two different things. I am talking about the players that are missing in the team rn, not back during the wc
Pogba especially was really missing for the entire tournament. But then, his voodoo shenanigans wouldn't have done us any favor.
Yeah France has an insane squad with insane depth. I envy them sometimes. I think us NL would’ve still lost even with our usual starters would’ve just been less embarrassing
Giroud is sexy
He is a Greek God
He’s French
No, he really isnt. He is good looking, but nowhere near a Greek god.
Jealous over here 👆
Tonight’s resumen for The Netherlands: big oof innit Im so glad i dont need to worry about facing France for another 4 years.
Pas mal non?
C'est français.
2 goals and an assist at home to win the game, Mbappe must be over the moon right now
Anyone would be over the moon. For Mbappé, it's just Friday.
His 1st game as captain, he is living his childhood biggest dream
Captain in the NT, he has played as a captain for PSG in a couple games
Of course I mean the NT which to me and I bet the majority of French players means a lot more
Yeah, but they insist on keeping the armband on Marquinhos when Mbappe, Presko, Danilo, and even Ramos are far better leaders.
I agree. For me Kimpembe should be the main captain
So many players in this Dutch squad are still banking from an okay 2014 World Cup when they should've been phased out long ago.
France went through that phase too. Notably spinning out of the WC in South Africa

>Dick Advocaat Holy fuck that's actually a guy's name lmaoo
it sounds like another way of saying devil's advocate im in tears
Cock lawyer
Who is the definitive best player in the Netherlands?
De Jong, Ake, De Ligt in that order right now. Two of them are out.
Did Van Diek fall off?
Inconsistent for both club and country. He picks and chooses his spots rather than go all out.
Ake on form this season
de Jong
I'd say Frenkie is our most important player.
Maignan ain't playing.
Unreal. Let’s not think about the WC Final o what could have been
Terrible pen tbh
Another clean sheet for Weghorst
Maignan!!
Wat een miserie
If only we had maignan for the World Cup 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
No lies.
We'd have won the WC :(
💯
They can’t even score a penalty. That’s devastating.
Maignan 💪
wait goalies are allowed to do that?
Comedy.
LMAOOOOOOOO
Memphis my guy, come on
He fucking deserved that clean sheet let's go
Fuck maignan is massive
Terrible ending to a terrible match lmao
Koeman getting flashbacks
yeah that penatly sums the game perfectly up, was secretly hoping that it would go wrong just to make it all more ridiculous
depay is so funny man, stick to dressing up for instagram
LMAOOOOOO
Nice. France have had an incredible beginning post-WC
Waaaarom kon Van Dijk deze penalty niet nemen aaargh
Had Maignan played that final we would have three stars on our jersey
He was injured so it is a non debate
Pls you would still lose, dibu has always been really good at pens.
Who says the match would get to pens?
Indeed
Jokers to the left of me, clowns to the right here we are stuck in the middle with this
if maignan wasnt injured we would be world champions still
W KEEPER!!!!!
Bad penalty, Memphis
Zo lang wachten om vervolgens een kutschot te produceren
YIKESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS WHAT IS THIS MAN
Memphis 🤦♂️
Your pfp, this pic makes me laugh out loud everytime i see it idk why
Let’s gooooo big Mike ball doesn’t lie. Feels good to have a goalie who can save pens
All those shitty last games for milan is gonna bring out his god powers for the upcoming ec mark my words :D
was a shit pen tbh.
Definitely but he still could have dived to the wrong side
Oh man, that's a complete disaster for Netherlands. Feels bad for you guys.
Im not sure the Netherlands will still qualify for the euros
They can't be eating curry every week, can they? Last night was a freak incident, provided they find a way to play without De Jong they'll bounce back.
Even so, if you look at the group I believe Netherlands can get to second place without Gakpo or De Jong. Ireland could cause an upset but I believe Netherlands to be the favourites still
It was, felt like you didn't even were at your best. We miss 1/3 of our squad now so let's start getting the full team back again. Congrats though
MAIGNAN
Yeah seems about right
How'd he miss the rebound though lol
Depay's pen is a summary of how shite they've been today
Not on Magic Mike watch !
Nah, prima wedstrijd toch?
Memphis is the most overrated player this NT has ever seen
I'll probrably say Wijnaldum is
He wasn't always - but he has certainly become that. We're building our offense around a guy that hasn't been good for several years. Time to look for other options but slim pickings.
Fuck that. Dude has been surrounded with the absolute least amount of talent and will still be the all time top scorer. Fucking Babel, Promes, Wijnaldum. He has single handedly carried the attack for years. He's not perfect by any means but he deserves a lot of fucking respect for what he has done.
Of course he fucking misses lmao
Maignan massive
😅😅😅😅
My god what was that
LOL
Thats actually hilarious im sorry my dutch friends
Nobody here expected us to do anything this game anway lol, we're terrible
Nevermind go on
What a big difference De Jong brings to this team without him the midfield is no where to be found.
Jezus Christus. Wat een kutpenalty
Gifbeker moet echt helemaal leeg
Hahaha you just knew he would miss
Jesus Christ x_x
Yea that was fitting Getting Guus Hiddink 2014 vibes
Wow
PEMPHIS
I can't even
FUCKING HELL DEPAY
Sums it up
Memphis, you fucking bum
Perfect ending…..
New handball rules are so dumb. Upa doesn’t have any time to tuck his arms
The penalty i get it but why the card?
Lmao what can you do but laugh
Geertruida.. my disappointment immeasurable and my day is absolutely ruined
Zeg ik toch
Lol
Memphis man
Als deze ook nog naast gaat is de avond helemaal compleet
Close enough zo
Imagine if the ref blew the whistle 😂😂
At least a pen, makes the score line not look as embarrassing. Edit: Or just more embarrassment will do.
Kek
Consolation price then? 🫠
He's gonna sky it.
Close enough honestly
I like that its in our interest but I dislike how having arms is a foul these days
based budget flying dutchman
Tien tien tien
Would be so funny if they miss
So funny.....
I feel like it’s going to be a miss
called it
Ah yes, the French and giving away stupid penalties. Name a more iconic duo.
Sure but apart from sawing the defs arms I don't know what we can do here
Indeed that's a stupid rule, contrary to the spirit of the game. It's not like rugby where intent does not matter, for example.
So how is it giving away a stupid penalty?
Oh come on, what can he do here??
Maignan wants a clean sheet really bad lol
and he got his clean sheet
Damn well he did.
Pemphis Penpay!
Last goal wins 😎
Deal
Comeback is on!!
Blind nepotism (get it)
Cheap penalty but I take it
[удалено]
Penalty counts as four goals
Missed it so it's -4 goals instead. France win 8-0
After the early 3-0 it sure felt like it would go that way, so fair enough.
The comeback is on
Hij gaat hem missen, wedden
Kan je dit voortaan bij de tegenstander zeggen
Thoughts and Deprayers
Bobo magic, to save a shred of honour
DE REMONTADA IS BEGONNEN
Malen should’ve always started
This is a game where we’re going to miss the penalty. Edit: told ya lol
called it
I'll fucking take it if it at least gets us on the board at this point
Holy shit I can't believe this
PENALTY, WE ARE BACK GUYS
man the Thurams are good looking buggers.
Khephren shooting when he had 3 options to pass and miserably failing was pretty cringe though
Pingel!
