Enjoyed that match - I like both teams but was cheering on Denmark for Erikson. De Bruyne's goal was a beauty.

MrsGulDukat · 17/06/2021 18:58

Poor Denmark. It just werent the year for them.

WhiteHartLane · 17/06/2021 19:01

Hopefully they can beat Russia last game - it maybe enough to get them through.

MrsGulDukat · 17/06/2021 20:00

Come on Netherlands.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 17/06/2021 20:07

Hupje Hupje Holland!!!!

I have an orange headband on😁

Not a great start of Austria there.

MrsGulDukat · 17/06/2021 20:12

Text book penalty.

DuncinToffee · 17/06/2021 20:21

How did he miss that!

I know. He was practically invited to score.

Hellocatshome · 17/06/2021 20:55

How did he miss that!

DS14's footie coach just sent him a clip of that miss and said "stop being so hard on yourself when you miss, he missed and he plays for his f-ing country!"

It made DS feel better anyway.

Kalvin Phillips was adorable in that interview!

There have been a few howlers this tournament so far. Instead of goal of the tournament they'll be doing miss of the tournament!

It's still all feeling a bit flat. I think they're right it's down to the 4 third place teams going through, it's taken the pressure off so too many playing it safe.

DuncinToffee · 17/06/2021 21:15

It's all a bit sloppy

I thought only the top two went through from each group? Has it changed this year?

DuncinToffee · 17/06/2021 21:24

Get in!

Yes best 4 3rd places go through as well I think

@the80sweregreat

It happened in 2016 for the first time when they increased the number of teams to 24 (from 16)

I wonder if the players are suffering from lack of practice (due to COVID)?

That might be why everyone has beeen a bit lackluster?

DuncinToffee · 17/06/2021 21:43

Many league games have been like that too, I am sure covid is the reason. Guess it has been a long season.

OP posts:
MrsGulDukat · 17/06/2021 21:43

There definitely seems to be a bit of rust on all the players.

Some of the matches should have been great (looking at France V Germany) and its all about anti climatic.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 17/06/2021 21:45

I can't stop thinking it's a Halloween-themed game 🎃🕷

MrsGulDukat · 17/06/2021 21:48

You have a point there @ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba

DuncinToffee · 17/06/2021 21:54

Good win for Holland but Austria was disappointing.
