Depay has to be the most overrated player on the planet.

I'm not taking anything based on international tournaments.  

 

Glad I swerved this game.  Perhaps the takeaway from this tournament will be the poor level of managers in international footy.

This is a weak generation of Dutch players. De Ligt, De Jong and Depay are all overrated although the first 2 mentioned have potential. Van Dijk and Gini are now 30 or so. They don't have a good goalie or striker. Too many average players in the squad. And they have a hopeless manager.

Is big Virg 30? Fucking hell!

K’innell Harry, I used that one 3 pages back. That’s probably why I liked the fucker. 

Sorry mate, didn't see that.

Virg will be like Ramos - he’ll still have 5/6 years at the top level in him. 
 

If not longer, he barely breaks into a sprint most games.

[Chip Butty]

That’s some Belgium team that.

[Gnasher]

Well that's the two big guns out in a matter of hours, first Wales now Holland, be like watching the Copa without Brazil and Argentina from now on but I'll still give it the odd clance.

Nice to see Gini’s invisible man act one last time.  It shall be missed.

He completed about 10 passes in the game and gave up around the 80th minute. Strangely no comment on that but you never hear the end of how stupid it was to let him go when he was scoring against crap teams playing a position he didn't play for Liverpool.

 

I like Gini, but I was almost rooting against him there just to get rid of the annoying narrative.

Par for the course on here.

To be fair, the Hougini performances became significantly less regular in his last few seasons.

Jesus - that’s crept up on me. I thought he was still about 27!

I hope so - that’s upset me a bit

 

Edit - he’s been robbed of a season in his prime years too by that stupid tackle, which those gobshites bring up constantly. They can fuck off

He was prominent first half and stuck out on the right wing after the red. Seemed to be moved to the defensive midfield late on. He's not Maradona ffs, as always, he done what was asked of him.

Four completed passes in first half, I'm told. Poor for both goals. 

 

I like Gini. He was dreadful today.

15 passes, 26 touches in 90 minutes. He was nowhere to be found.

Some way to go before he hits his Liverpool form. I think his record for us is one solitary pass in the first half.

And unfortunately he's gone to a plastic shit club for a lot of money.

 

I know we should have paid the lad the money he wanted, and he deserved it, but in the scheme of things he doesn't really need the money, does he, so the call he made was one of "principle" - you'd be not unreasonable to assume.

 

If your principle, other than money, is to go to PSG... well, good luck to the boy, I guess.

Bestest midfielder in the world, Bruno Fernandes, dropped to the bench.

 

Not so hot when Rapist Ronnie is taking all his usual penalty goals off him.

Have a good game, lad, if only for the lass atop.

Come on Belgium, send Jota home for a nice rest.

[polymerpunkah]

Score a brace in a losing effort, and finish the match uninjured.

Yep, a 4-3 (Jota 3) win to the Europarliamentarians would suit me fine.

Jota's looked a bit too much like Werner in these Euros for my liking.
