Ukraine, Netherlands for me strongest here (as much as i want to hate that monotone moron De Boer, we are in with a good chance to win the group here)


North Macedonia can surprise, we saw it already against Germany, so i am not ruling them out as a complete no hoper, they deffo have a chance for third against a Austria

[Calderyon]

Depay seems to be on a roll, so I expect Netherlands to top the group.

Ukraine seems 2nd strongest, but Austria could beat them.

North Macedonia will try to tease the others and maybe even get a tie or two, but ultimately fall to 4th place.

[Nicky91]

idk what our first match is :conf:

[bots]

we always get a boring team that does well at the euros, i think austria could win it

[Calderyon]

idk what our first match is :conf:

Against Ukraine.

[Nicky91]

thank you


yeah well we haven't got the euro2020 pages on our tv text page from NOS since we are still in pre-euro2020 season


tonight the friendly match against Georgia, cannot call this a ''test'' more like a must win match, cuz a draw or a loss against the number 400 or 500 whatever of the world would feel like depressing ahead of the tournament


i rather wish our (corrupt) KNVB had arranged a better opponent for us :bored: but they decide everything

[Nicky91]

Netherlands starting 11 against Georgia

Stekelenburg, Dumfries, J.Timber, De Vrij, Blind, Wijndal, De Roon, Wijnaldum, Frenkie De Jong, Weghorst, Depay

[Nicky91]

omg what a joke on our local radio right now


comparing this dutch team to the magic team from 88

:laugh3: :laugh3: just because it is a slow start in friendlies



these bunch of overrated nobodies cannot even come close to the stars of 88



i so hope we lose all 3 group matches, with monster scores, that should learn the corrupt KNVB either to no longer call up Frenkie De Jong, Mathijs de Ligt, Memphis Depay ego's





so come on Ukraine, demolish us, embarrass us in front of our own audience



disgusting Netherlands :idc:

yes it does, but i just don't agree with most of our KNVB their choices, or the massive overhype around this squad

[Calderyon]

A massive exaggeration on your part.

Yet again.

[Nicky91]

no Donny van den Beek at euro2020


manager Frank de Boer hasn't called up a replacement, so a squad of 25 it now is

[Nicky91]

No Matthijs de Ligt against Ukraine tomorrow


this match comes too soon for him

[Zizu]

No Matthijs de Ligt against Ukraine tomorrow

Hope he’s fit enough to pass a medical at Barca ;)

today the day, my nation's first match (vs my sweepstake here) going to be a interesting one for me then :laugh:

[Nicky91]

Austria v North Macedonia now

[Nicky91]

1-0 Austria (Lainer)


keep on going, butcher those macedonians :clap1:

[AnnieK]

1-0 Austria (Lainer)


keep on going, butcher those macedonians :clap1:

Oops

1-1

[Crimson Dynamo]

come on North Mace

what a cock up for that goal but the opportunity was taken well

first goal was a cracker

[bots]

i still rate Austria although the goalkeeper needs to visit the Alan Rough school of goalkeeping for some improvement :laugh:

[Nicky91]

good on Pandev for scoring Macedonia's first ever goal at major tournament, very deserved and fitting it is him, their one big legend in this squad


i captained him few times many years back on FM2010, i was quite a FM addict too, with managing all teams in a specific competition with the names being real managers, making it look more realistic



Pandev is a icon for them, great career already and this goal must feel like cherry on his personal career cake

[Beso]

The Austrian goal is the best so far.

[Calderyon]

Austria v North Macedonia 1-1 at 60'

18' 1-0 Lainer (Sabitzer)
28' 1-1 Pandev

[Swan]

Really expected Austria to prove critics wrong and have a fairly good tournament, so far not good!! Painfully average performance from them.

[Swan]

Just as i say that, 2-1 :laugh:

[Calderyon]

Austria v North Macedonia 2-1 at 82'

[Swan]

:laugh: you jinxed NMC

I did, want those 2 points in the predictions :smug:

[bots]

austria are clinical in front of goal, i tipped them to win, and i think they still have a good chance

[Beso]

Just managed to get them at 100 to one...they look solid.

[Calderyon]

Austria v North Macedonia 3-1 FT

90' 3-1 Arnautovic (Laimer)

[Calderyon]

austria are clinical in front of goal, i tipped them to win, and i think they still have a good chance

I'd say quarters at best. Most likely knocked out in the last 16.

[bots]

it's funny, i spoke to a dutch friend this morning and he said he fell asleep during the 2nd half .... it was such an entertaining match, i can't comprehend this

[Nicky91]

worldclass Netherlands victorious despite boring match, 3 points are most important thing


the real test will come in knockout phase anyways, this is just good preparation work

hope for improvements in next game against austria

[Calderyon]

Netherlands v Austria 2-0 FT

[Nicky91]

amazing game

[Nicky91]

points of criticism

yes i have a few

for next game, pls no Weghorst, but Donyell Malen, way more technical player than Wout the Snail


Depay despite the penalty, and making Dumfries score, not the best game from him either


Blind is our achilles heel in the defence for sure, i am happy De Ligt is back, far better than Timber


and in the media here, our revelations in the Euro's are Denzel Dumfries, Patrick van Aanholt

[Nicky91]

Netherlands line up against North Macedonia tomorrow will have few new faces compared to the previous two games

possibly Marten de Roon on the bench, since he booked a yellow card previous match if he gets yellow again, he would miss first match in knockout phase

[Nicky91]

https://i.imgur.com/6M855kE.jpg

here is one of Frank de Boer's notes during yesterdays training before today's game


by the looks of that, he'll replace Marten de Roon (whom already has yellow, and at risk of being suspended for knockouts if he books another yellow) with Ryan Gravenberch, and replacing Wout Weghorst with Donyell Malen

[Nicky91]

North Macedonia: Goran Pandev will retire from the national team after today's match

[Nicky91]

line ups

North Macedonia: Dimitrievski, S.Ristovski, Velkovski, Musliu, Alioski, Trickovski, Bardhi, Elmas, Ademi, Trajkovski, Pandev

[Nicky91]
