lol maybe it is just me, with my loads of FIFA game career mode experience



also Rafael van der Vaart not recognizing our King & Queen that was hilarious


it was nice though our King Willem-Alexander & Queen Maxima were there respect for them being great sports & entertainment fans

The second half was the best 45 mins of the tournament so far, so you missed out Nicky!

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

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]

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

Netherlands: Stekelenburg, Dumfries, De Vrij, De Ligt, Blind, Van Aanholt, F.De Jong, Wijnaldum, Gravenberch, Depay, Malen

[Nicky91]

North Macedonia - Netherlands 0-1

Depay (24th Minute)
