I buy the "Dutch are weak" argument that some others posted, but can't decide who will knock them off, Ukraine or Austria. |

| I think the Dutch will have enough to top this group with 7 or 9 points, will they get any further, I have my doubts even though I'm backing Depay for top goalscorer. |

Yeah it's an easy enough group for the Dutch, you'd have to think they'd top it with at least wins over North Macedonia and Ukraine. |

they may get past one of the pre-tournament favourites but their form suggests they'll not get past a second. the quarters seems to be their limit or if they get a handy 3rd place team in the last 16 they may get to the semi but that's at a push. ------------- "One of the dominant facts in English life during the past three quarters of a century has been the decay of ability in the ruling class."

Zinchenko looked very good too, obviously a talented footballer, but always had the air of a youth team player at City. He looked like a leader in that team, I wonder if he'd get a shot at being CM for City next year or two.

His arm was up very high. Just because you're not looking at the ball doesn't mean you don't know what you're doing. Felt it prob was a penalty. Decent enough game overall - more entertaining than expected.

The Germans finished in plus 3 GD so a 2-0 win would have made that plus 4. The Austrians finished on a plus 2 GD so a 2-0 would have them at plus 1 GD. Algeria finished on a 0 GD. So 2-0 would have been fine too. In fact 5-2 or higher would have been fine too but hard fix that 😀
