Calvin Stengs starting, awesome. He's gonna be special.
Saw some bits and pieces. Decision making in the box could use a little bit of work still it seems but otherwise quite impressive. Doesn't help Memphis isn't very tall I guess haha.

Edit: Memphis subbed for this Boadu guy. Haven't heard of him before but season stats look good. Is a decent prospect?

This is a strange game, you'd think Hungary would be starting some kind of attacking intent by now. They seem like they don't give a shit.

Benteke with 6-1 for Belgium.

Has scored more in this game than he has for Palace in the last two seasons :lol:

He's a really talented striker. Already started great last season when he was just 17, but then broke his ankle and was out for 6 months. Thankfully he has recovered well.

Even scored too. Nice. Seems strong and fast with a good eye for open spaces. Luuk de Jong is well past his prime and Memphis isn't the end all solution at CF.

Gonna call it now: Germany V Netherlands for the Euro 2020 final.
You never know but would be pretty surprised at that, both are up and coming but have too many flaws to be in final 4 I think.

Germany 6-1 winners today, pretty impressive qualifying campaign on a whole given they only failed to win once, which was ofcourse that loss to Holland.

Gnabry has really surprised me this season, turning into a good finisher. Hat trick today and overall 18 goals this season (domestic + international).

Yeah, although Donyell Malen is still ahead of Boadu at the moment at CF, but he's injured. But Malen is also really talented. There's a lot of talent coming through in the Dutch forward line.

Fair enough - this tourney might come a bit too early for both but I'm impressed by what seems like a good very tight knip group between the two. I'm not seeing individuals play - I see real teams when I see those two now - which has been different very recently for both of them.

Thanks for the extra info. Have been curious about what seemed like a lack of talent at CF for the Dutch - which traditionally has been one of their strongest. Seems defense and midfield are pretty well covered at this point - though the reliance on F. De Jong might be slightly troubling when you see that there isn't a really good alternative there... Unless I am forgetting about someone.

England can't get Russia and Holland from pot 2, they are hosts in different groups, also Denmark in pot 3. They would be guaranteed Scotland from pot 4 if they win the playoff.
