Euro: Group C: Netherlands vs. Austria, 6/17/2021

[Live in the Now]

Uh oh. Second one wasn't a dive.

A terrible touch from Alaba, I think that will end up being a pen.

 

[cgf]

That's a penalty. Rough on Alaba, but 100% a pen.

 

[Live in the Now]

It's nice when VAR fixes referee mistakes that are so blatantly obviously wrong. But it's hard to see that in full speed.

 

[gary69]

Dutch delight came out guns blazing, had to be a penalty. Depay scores. Austria must radically improve.

 

[Albatros]

Ouch. What an unnecessary penalty to take.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

For once, all the giants in the tournaments are rising to the top of their groups.

 

[robertmac43]

I thought that was getting saved.

 

[cgf]

Now Austria will have to swap Schlager for Grillitsch & Ulmer for Lazaro.

 

[GKJ]

I thought that was getting saved.

He guessed right, and the announcer guessed right on the keeper.

 

[robertmac43]

All and all brutal passage of play from Alaba. You don't expect that kind of poor touch and follow-up a challenge from him.

 

[cgf]

Just noticed they're starting Dragovic over Lienhart. That's not good either given how good the Dutch look.

 

[gary69]

Now Austria will have to swap Schlager for Grillitsch & Ulmer for Lazaro.

He can go back to bench singing schlagers.

 

[YNWA14]

Already bossing. I wonder if @YNWA14 or @Evilo still don’t rate him?

When have I ever not rated him? I just said he still has some things to fix; I've always had him as a top talent.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Hey look another penalty to the Dutch at home!!

 

[Live in the Now]

Alaba shouldn't be playing CB. Second time that was obvious.

 

[cgf]

Alaba shouldn't be playing CB. Second time that was obvious.

Dunno about that. Think he's just playing like crap.

My comment was tongue and cheek but I do seem to remember that another kid from Uruguay you rated more. The crazy part is I don’t know where frenkie can improve he plays a complete game. If im being harsh it’s a final through ball. Big if though.


De ligt plays such a mature game

 

[cgf]

Austrians have grown into this. Ulmer & Schlager still hurt their attacking movements.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Cmon Holland, pick up the intensity

 

[gary69]

Terrible miss by Memphis, Tennessee (or is it Egypt?)

 

[Live in the Now]

LOL.

 

[Evilo]

Already bossing. I wonder if @YNWA14 or @Evilo still don’t rate him?

I don't rate him?
Since when?

I think that Uruguayan can be just as good yeah, and was performing better at that time.

 

[Eisen]

Man, those Dutch strikers are utterly incompetent. It's frustrating to watch. How about shooting when in the box before the defender gets into place?
