Yea I'm not completely disheartened by going up against The Dutch like I would be against a few other countries.

.......But they'll all be 6'8. It'll be like a less roidy WWE.
They've already got a lot of decent athletes who can't kick a ball.
Please, no more.
That's just because the manager is a fucking moron. We will have a better one next cycle
Josh fucking Sargent gets on the pitch for them FFS. You know, the Norwich flop?
Same here. I dont think it likely we will win, but I think we have a chance
I don't know mate. They certainly shut down our 'world class' striker in Harry Kane and all of England's other attackers. Not sure why everyone is underestimating them.

If we face them I suspect Van Gaal will be the difference maker. Talent wise England are miles ahead, but Van Gaal has set his team up better.
I expect England to put up another borefest, and eventually the Dutch will get ahead and the waistcoat wanker will watch on helplessly just like against Croatia and Italy.
You guys outplayed England who are apparently one of the favorites. No reason why you can't outplay the Dutch.
Probably because we can't score.
Because aside from their little cup final they struggled to cling on to a draw against Wales and clung on to a 1-0 win vs Iran.
Yeah they worked hard & shut down an England team happy to take a draw, congratulations. There's still very little quality there and it showed vs teams they were expected to beat.
Raum is on a week long windup. Best to just let it be and celebrate your win.
And it's not like Senegal would be any easier.
I feel like we are playing with house money. Really proud we made it to the knockouts. Successful WC after missing the last.
Getting out of the group was the main goal for this WC, building towards 2026. A lot of people expected us to go out by now so anything from here is a bonus.
The Dutch deserved to lose to Ecuador. They have issues with athletic teams.
I really think we need Gio next game.
100%
I won't be distraught at all if we lose to The Dutch (as long as it's not a last second soul crusher or something). We've shown heart and obviously we know what we need to build on. It's promising.
Would love it if Gio started. But I can DEFINITELY see us set up and play just like we did against England.
