    Shame. Boys played well, and that second pen really shouldn’t have been given IMO after he looked at it on the monitor. Ody deserves to play at the highest level. Ioannidis should’ve squared it to Masouras.

    Oh well. There’s still the playoffs to look forward. Dangerous teams over there as well; Kazakhstan, Luxembourg and Georgia are nothing to scoff at and have shown how dangerous they can be in the qualifiers, but I still like our chances. The team has improved lots from the failures of the past few campaigns, and we can only be proud of it. We shall go for it in March 😤

        Way I saw it the contact was extremely light by Pavlidis, Dumfries almost fell by himself. I understand why he gave it, putting your arms out like that is practically asking for it, but plays like this were not called penalties countless of times before.

        And to not give the other sour guy an interaction, the last VAR check absolutely was a pen, but he probably wouldn’t make it out the field if he did give it lmao

    Far too many individual mistakes and we got away with most thanks to the players putting in extra effort and getting into last ditch tackles. The plan was solid, the lads gave everything, Ioannidis ripped apart that Ake bloke, Retsos has a place in my heart for yelling in the face of Brobbey and Vlachodimos can only be assumed has testicles the size of melons. We’ll make it through Nations League on March.

    May Ronald Koeman manage the Dutch for years to come.

    Ik kan er zo slecht tegen dat Weghorst zo vreselijk overdreven aan Virgil z’n nek gaat hangen na het scoren van die penalty. Komt zo gemaakt over allemaal. Ik geloof dat je passie hebt en blij bent dat we winnen, maar laat de captain even zn ding doen aub.

    What an embarassing match for the Dutch. Koeman is the biggest fraud manager of all time

    Thank fuck.

    Hernandez Hernandez was on something today though. So many dogshit calls. He got like half the corner calls wrong. He gaves us 2 penalties, but ignored two penalty calls that were much more of a pen than 1 of them that was given.

    Also ignored VAR twice on those pens, which was fun to see.

    We fought hard for it but Netherlands is clearly the better team and with much more quality.
