QF: England v Switzerland | Netherlands v Turkey Groups

[Spikey]

After growing up watching Van Nistelrooy, Bergkamp and Van Persie, watching this Dutch strike force is proper depressing.

 

[Bob the Ninja]

Netherlands level. 1-1! De Vrij.

Good header. Terrible defending.

 

[Bob the Ninja]

2-1

Gakpo gives the Dutch the lead.

Turkey in trouble now. They've created very little in this half.

 

[John Steed]

Looks like an OG. Unbelievably poor defending

 

[Boot Cleaner]

Dutch have been a better team with Wout Weghorst as a focal point.

Can't see Turkey coming back now

 

[The GOAT]

Wow, Turkey been so unlucky in the last 5 minutes. A clearance off the line and a brilliant save keeps the Dutch ahead.

 

[Crabtree]

Well done to the Dutch. Can't help but feel they have a better bench than some of their starting players at times.

 

[Ginger Ted]

Great tournament for Turkey. All their games were fun and exciting to watch. Holland deserved the semi-final though.

 

[Dylan]

Turkey never cleared their heads quick enough after that equaliser. They finished the game well but ran out of time unfortunately.

The Dutch looked more balanced and better once they made some substitutions and probably deserved to win in the end.

 

[Dylan]

England were way better in the first half, second half and extra time the Swiss looked a bit more threatening but inexplicably having scored from a low cross, kept taking weird shots that weren't on. Neither team were much better and a draw was probably the right result.

The most impressive thing about England was the ability to fight back and get a goal quickly. They seem to have a resilience which bodes well in spite of their incredibly lucky manager.
