Completely against the run of play. Holland has totally bent England over most of this half, but still, you can’t leave gaps open at the back Ike they just did there.

So happy that didn't just happen because as mentioned we've been absolutely all over them.

Bergwijn should have just buried that; would be incredibly harsh to give handball on Chillwell there.

What a game to pick to have a bad one for Memphis, yikes, he could have won the game two or three times for the Netherlands now. :(

Bergwijn has probably been our best player, despite his gaping miss.

Look at these skirmishes and the emotion of the players. Look at the squad selections, particularly some players who just played in the CL final.

Not one person involved in any capacity with the four semi final teams took these games here as just glorified friendlies. Plenty of battle from all teams involved.

And Walker 100% deserves that own goal since he was lazy in starting his recovery run. He was a solid 10 yards closer to the ball when Promes started running but he took 3-4 lazy steps because he didn't want to sprint back just in case.

Edit: Obviously Stone really deserves it, but Walker easily could have prevented it after the save by Pickford.

I hope that Koeman sees how much better this team is with Promes/van de Beek in it though.

England just do not have the technical ability and general skill to be a team who insists on playing the ball out of the back. Undone twice in similar fashion.

Promes is actually really good. His underlying stats at Sevilla this season too were really nice despite his lack of usage.
