You love to see it.
England played quite well but the Netherlands were sublime
Don’t play out from the back if there’s no space or pressure from the opposition.
First comment I heard from Talkshite was that they were tired after a long season.
I thought England were going to win it in the first half.
Netherlands did everything in the build-ups, but were awful in front of goal - until they scored. Then they played with more purpose, and it was "how many will they score".
And when England thought they had scored their seconf, my daughter's BF did a victory dance around the room, then the fateful "VAR check" was announced :hehe:
Listened to The Game podcast the other day. 20 minute debate on how winning the Nations league might be considered an important piece of silverware for England in years to come.
Guess they’ll never know.
My favourite bit was when Lingard thought he’d scored the winner. Players leaping around screaming at the fans with joy, fans jumping about like they'd won the World Cup. Then in steps VARQuote:

Make your mind up peeps, it’s either to long a season, or to short a season, you can’t have it both ways :hehe:
PS:——- I love VAR this morning, the little faces on those Ingurlund fans, were just a picture to behold :hehe::hehe:
PPS:—— Still hate it, really, as that may be us next :frown:
Only watched the highlights but it was brilliant.Quote:

The amount of defensive mistakes was shocking (in a nice way) to watch.
If Depay hadn't had someone else's boots on, it could have been a cricket score.
The pundits set themselves up the fall yet again. They really fancied themselves.
I also enjoyed the reaction of Virgil van Dyke when questioned by the interviewer about the marginal offside of Lingard, the interviewer intimating that it would have been a different outcome had VAR not been used. Aw diddums!
Loved it!
The post match bitching was great
You love to see it
You can't blame Southgate for Stones being crap. The back 4 were awful last night.Quote:

You could see the writing was on the wall in the first half but they still fannied about at the back.
I should also say that in order to play like that the midfield and front players need to create options so it's not simply down to the defensive errors per se.
Southgate has to take some responsibility.

If truth be known and it wasn’t for the home players rule, not a lot of them would be playing in the premier. They’re not very good
Unfortunately true, in a lot of cases home grown players are making up the numbers, bit part actors to the headline stars.Quote:
