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?
They should just play Wijnaldum as a striker. He can play CB, DM, #8, #10, I bet he can play striker too. This guy Weghorst sucks ass and they have no other decent strikers.
He already plays at the 10 position and he interprets it very offensively, that's not much of a difference.They should just play Wijnaldum as a striker. He can play CB, DM, #8, #10, I bet he can play striker too. This guy Weghorst sucks ass and they have no other decent strikers.

From the matches I saw in Bundesliga, he did look much better, though. The Dutch national team obviously hasn't had as much time to adjust playing with a player like him and are not getting the best of him.
You would think that they'd be used to playing with an unskilled targetman; they've been doing so for years.
Yeah, I remember well the days since Wim Kieft, but Weghorst in particular has only played few games. The movement on the pitch from everybody requires more games, imo.
Dutch playing with their food. Might cost them
Does playing Italy instead of another group winner help them in some meaningful way?
Oh it can get better, but playing a Weghorst or Luuk de Jong puts a ceiling/limtation on your offense unless you have just world-class talent everywhere else.
One man's ceiling is another man's solid structure. I don't think it's a bad thing to have a guy like him in the middle when you have speed and skill on the outside.
Nice goal, was expecting that break through.
All these lower teams suck.
Austria doesn't suck, but the conditions of the game aren't favorable. First they had one guy get suspended and then they're the only team in this match that has to travel to play the other team at their home ground. Fortunately it seems everyone has considered this a bad experiment and it will never happen again.
They also didn't help themselves out with the team selection. So many movements have died on the foot of Schlager or Ulmer, and notKoller should've been starting.
