I know Austria aren't world-beaters, but North Macedonia is a lot better than I thought they would be.  

They beat Germany in a World Cup qualifier earlier this year. I believe on a goal by Pandev.

@The Z Machine

Never played left back for Atleti.

 

[Desert_Power]

Austria can certainly make some noise. Looked a lot better when Alaba pushed forward too.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Dang Stekelenburg is another guy who’s been around a long time. 

 

[JaxBill]

the Netherlands match is moot for my work pool  because Ukraine is weak

 

[AAABatteries]

Can de Boer manage to suck all creativity and passion out of the Netherlands?  I say yes!

Was just thinking probably Brazil 2014 was the last time I saw the Oranje play.  I don’t think there’s a VanPersie, Robben or Schneijder on this team. There may not even be a Dirk Kuyt on this team. 

 

[Steve Tasker]

Sheva could still lace em up and score double-digit goals in a top-flight European league season, don't @ me

There are two De Jongs

@Ramsay Hunt Experience - couldn’t find any Jenever - how much am I missing out on substituting gin for it?

 

[TripItUp]

Well this contest certainly isn’t lacking action. 

 

[AAABatteries]

This is entertaining - great pace early.

 

[TripItUp]

The Ukrainian backline decided to take a vacation. 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

No idea.  Never had Jenever.  But I imagine it's similar.

Memphis has been reasonably productive for them, from what I understand.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Who is commentating with Moreno?

 

[TripItUp]

Love these wide open games, reminds me of our elementary school games 

I now expect somebody to pick up the ball and run with it 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Who is commentating with Moreno?

The same guy Ted Lange and I #####ed about yesterday morning.  The Red Bulls guy.  Cangiolosi or somthing.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Seeing how Sheva has basically been handed the Ukraine job for as long as he wants it makes me wonder how soon after Modric retires it will take Croatia to name him manager.  Two weeks?

They both suck. Which channel has the Spanish language rights in USA? What about in Mexico?

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

This is more action than FdB managed to get out of Atlanta United in his entire tenure.

Univision is streaming the games for free:

I had Univision on yesterday so missed this cangiolosi guy - might go back to Univision.

 

[The Gator]

@mr. furIey which de ______ are you related to?

 

[AAABatteries]

Once the match started my disdain for FDB vanished and my fondness for the Dutch came back.  I’ve told the story before but a buddy and I partied with the Dutch fans at a bar in Orlando after the Netherlands - Morocco WC match in ‘94 -  I’ve been a fan ever since.

His voice sounds like I am listening to a radio broadcast on some AM channel.

Weird pitch to it. 

 

[The Z Machine]

Should be doing Brooklyn Dodgers games in 1956.

He’s brutal and Ali isn’t much better.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Strangely, I think someone summed it up by saying he thought he called the Islanders.  The guy sounds like someone who would call the Islanders.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Ooof.

 

[AAABatteries]

Dumfries means “can’t head the ball” in Dutch.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

There are two De Jongs

Neither named Nigel.

 

[AAABatteries]

That was probably a more dominant first half than anybody showed so far - but FDB’s speciality is to keep the ball out of the net.

 

[Sinn Fein]

I guess I have-not been paying attention - so does this mean Howard is out at NBC?  How long has he been at ESPN?

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Verdict on Del Piero's jacket?  I'm torn.

 

[The Gator]

Gini!

 

[AAABatteries]

Woot!  Well deserved by the Oranje.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Weghorst not exactly Robben cutting onto his left.  

 

[Sinn Fein]

Gini!

WhatamIdoingwithaldemgoals?

 

[Sinn Fein]

Woot!

 

[AAABatteries]

This announcer should know about goalie interference

 

[Sinn Fein]

I cut him a little slack - he did not see the ball in the back of the net.

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I feel we're not talking enough about the "frisky kitty" goal celebration.

That was either excellent or terrible. Still not sure. 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

LOL at Yarmalenko pulling out the Robben special on the Dutch.

 

[AAABatteries]

If Ukraine get a point here that would be incredible 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Scenes!

 

[TripItUp]

Equalizer !
