Games are much more competitive and entertaining.

No doubt, this is way more interesting than what we had before.

I've only watched the game yesterday but it felt so much better than what a friendly would usually be.

Eng vs Ned needed

No Havertz no party

Two goals in the last five mins from Promes and Van Dijk earned the Dutch the point they needed to qualify.

England, Portgual, Swtizerland, and the Netherlands are confirmed semi-finalists. Draw is next month.

I'm not a spokesman or even an informed person regarding the German NT. Didn't see the game either.
Ask a question about Bayern, I'll be glad to answer

But the German national team, I wash my hands in innocence

So the Uefa Nations Cup is over, so to speak. Does this new thing make meaningless friendlies obsolete and passe? I dont know, for me, the most competitive and real, full blooded game I saw this week, was the meaningless friendly between Brazil and Uruguay, played in England.

Dummy Mbappe injures himself while simulating a penalty..

Kosovo destroyed Azerbaijan and Malta this week to make the playoffs against Macedonia, Georgia or Belarus.

Legitimate chance that they make Euro 2020

England vs Netherlands and Portugal vs Switzerland are the semi finals.

Cristiano with a brace, almost there to yet another International final. I do wish RWO was still around to see Ronaldo hit a brace against her boy.

Hattrick by Ronaldo, oof.

Almost 34 and a half years old, still scoring hattricks in semifinals

What an athlete.

GOAT

England vs The Netherlands teams:

Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire, Chilwell; Barkley, Rice, Delph; Sancho, Rashford, Sterling

Cillessen; Dumfries, De Ligt, Van Dijk, Blind; De Roon, De Jong, Wijnaldum; Bergwijn, Depay, Babel

The Netherlands have been a lot better with the ball and have created dangerous moments, but they've lacked quality up front. Depay has been indecisive, always taking an extra touch or ignoring a better pass.

England's midfielders have struggled to get on the ball and play it to the forwards. Their lack of movement to give Maguire/Stones options is allowing the Dutch to press them.

Despite that, De Ligt has just made a poor error and given England a penalty. Rashford scored it.

Numpty stuff from De Ligt. Man Utd move confirmed? perhaps

Why do English fans boo National anthems? Weird.

Yup De Ligt is average as fuck, I've seen 2 games of him.

Why Dutch playing someone called Dumb Fries on the right

De Jong looks great though, what you think of him?
