What a miss!
It was a huge blow for them. But they can win this match, IMO. Netherlands attacking players are quite subpar tbh.Still bummed Mane isn't playing, Senegal win this if he's in there. Nagelsman should've rotated him a little at least.
I think Korea and Japan should both be better, Japan have a lot of technical players that play in Europe. Korea of course have players like Son and Kim Min-jae, though I don't know about the rest of their players.
There was a good post by @Spiersey in yesterday's match thread about how Qatar had declined since 2019. They're probably the weakest Asian time in the tournament.
Cos it's 0-0? Meanwhile, I'm struggling to say awake. A game where nothing of note has happened.It’s had my interest throughout which is more than I can say for the other two.
Frenkie feeling his De Schlong
Did you not watch Iran? They recently sacked their coach, they have protest in their country which influences the team and lost their goalkeeper. That team has issues and Iran is cannon fodder. Just compare their players to Senegal their players. Thats a massive difference.Senegal are 18th vs Iran 20th in the FIFA rankings. Not perfect but certainly better than @Stadjer unofficial rankings for cannon fodder/teams not facing Netherlands.
De Jong finally finds a pair of bollocks.
Wales - USA should be a good one. Two even teams, both good on the ball, both have pacey attackers.Terrible game. Terrible WC so far.

Have yet to see a single game, for club or country where I've been mildly impressed with De Jong. Dodged bullet.Both teams have no real intensity or purpose.
Also de Jong has been poor
De Jong did quite well with the ball in that collision…..De Jong weakly loses the ball in a dangerous area again.
Interesting how no one said this before they got thrashed 6-2. Most people had them finishing second.Did you not watch Iran?

Senegal is a much better team than Iran. I would expect the lower ranked Poland or Serbia to also beat number 20 Iran.
