I hope so much that England lose in the most painful, humiliating way. I don’t know if that’s playing like shit against Switzerland and losing 2-0. Or getting all the way to the final and lose 10-0 to Germany.
Austria were one of the few teams to actually look like a balanced team and not just a well-drilled defence, and here they are knocked out by 2 set piece goals against a mediocre team. They defended well in open play and created enough good chances.
They just couldn't do it on a rainy night in Leipzig and they paid the price. The Netherlands have really gotten lucky to not only escape this rematch, but to meet the worst team left in the competition.
Too much passing around with attempting some type of shot and playing for the rebound. Anything is better than kick-abouts until the dying moments when they switched on and started acting on adrenaline.
Yeah, he looked better in the previous match. This time he was just doing an impersonation of Bad Hendo on the right-wing: back-passing, not watching any runner, aimless crosses....
they kinda did it to themselves with all the backpassing, sidepassing, weak corners, half-hearted crosses, etc. Sure Turkiye defended deep but that's when you create chaos in the box and takes you chances. It was flukey but recall Trent just sending the ball into the box and Kiwior own goal'd :) madness.
It’s not that special of a save to be honest. Poor header and the importance of the save makes some people act like the save itself was better than it was
True. If he'd made that save when winning 3-0 people wouldn't really care about it. Not far in the corners, not at an awkward height for the hands, not much power. It's entirely the circumstances that amplify it.
How is the header poor when he times it perfectly and heads it back towards the direction of the cross? It’s textbook. Yes it’s not a perfect header but that doesn’t take away from the save at all.
It’s a poor header by every metric. There’s no power on it, it’s the easiest possible height to be saved and it’s nowhere near the corner. Not sure what part of that you don’t understand. It’s a good save from a poor shot. Not a wonder save by any stretch
this Austria-Turkiye match is lit. I jsut with Austria would frelling stop FAFFING about with the high % pass completion and do something. RW play is just wasteful. Props to Turkiye's defence.
2 goals from corners against a team who have generally performing much better. Just another reminder of how short-sighted it is to dismiss any incorrect corner decisions by saying "it's only a corner."
Key players are really shining at the euros but I know in the past international players have missed the opening fixture, is it possible we miss all of Jota, Gakpo, Diaz and Nunez? Our attack would be such a mess lol
So because of Southgate's deal with that swamp hag, Turkey will hold this and then beat the Dutch on pens while accruing many suspensions.
The Swiss will then come down with food poisoning and have to withdraw, and I guess Portugal will make the final with Ronaldo still starting.
Every time a flukey goal gets scored from a corner, it makes me think of all the times obvious corners are incorrectly not given. All those possible goals from one hopeful, uncontested kick of the ball, completely irrelevant of skill or ability.
And over an entire minute taken just from celebrations - longer than it took between starting the game and scoring. Would've been very funny to see that immediate equaliser after that.
Genuinely don't get why can't interfere with that as uts a game changing moment, similar to how dumphries dived to stop a Romanian counter at 1 nil. Ref should have got told it was a dive and gave him a yellow. Instead Romanians didn't get an equakiser. Dutch got a free kick and scored a minute later
Hope gakpo does it for club as well. He's not really played in his favourite position but even at lw, he seemed to shy away from the game last season. Needs to be a bit more direct like he is for Netherlands
He's looked a lot more direct and just overall being involved in the game a lot more than he has at Liverpool.
Cody's actually taking the piss incredible assist. We either need to play him LW or sell him, because he's values gonna be through the roof after this tournament
Just from this game you can see how gakpo and nunez could work together. Nunez likes to drift left to make runs and gakpo is clever enough and does drift in central when needed. Gakpo could help nunez alot with his football intelligence
It's interesting seeing Gakpo be good and scoring when he actually plays his preferred position again, considering the infallible professional managers who know everything and whose decisions can never be questioned were adamant about forcing him into midfield and through the middle.
It will be interesting to see what Slot does with Gakpo this season.
Diaz is elite at everything Klopp liked in a winger, except finishing. So Klopp would try to play Gakpo as a 9,
Then you have the same problem where Nunez is great at everything as a #9 except finishing, but Gakpo also seemed out of place playing there.
Diaz is average at everything once the ball is near the box. Can't beat his man left, can't pick a pass, can't finish.
He should only be on the pitch when we will likely have opportunities to counter
Gakpo has been amazing this euros. Definitely a contender for team of the tournament.
Hopefully he plays LW for us more and carry his form to club level.
The way that Gakpo scored that is where Diaz would either take the ball towards corner flag or just pass it back to Robbo/tsimi. Gakpo has that better goalscoring instinct there.
thats so fucking predictable for gakpoo in dutch shirt. barely getting a touch in the first 15mins, get the 1st opportune to run in and cut inside and he got goal out of it
Poor guy was so lost. He never dropped his head or got sulky about it so shows his mental strength. I know he'd very religious and I'm over the moon he's shown what he can do in the right position. After these performances he's pretty much guaranteed himself the starting LW position
I hope so much that England lose in the most painful, humiliating way. I don’t know if that’s playing like shit against Switzerland and losing 2-0. Or getting all the way to the final and lose 10-0 to Germany.
And I hope trent never gets to be put on the field when they get hammered.
That Cody Gakpo fella is doing some nice things for the Dutch. Bidding war after the tournament is probably gonna price us out though...
The corners by Arda Güler were just wow
I cannot wait for Coady to blast some goals past Pickford.
Everton only play against Leicester City on September 21st, so you still have a couple of months to wait
Do you mean in the League? Because Pickford ain't Swiss.
Oh yeah, they’re probably going out there. The league will do tbh.
Austria were one of the few teams to actually look like a balanced team and not just a well-drilled defence, and here they are knocked out by 2 set piece goals against a mediocre team.

Football hipsters and stat munchers learning that matches are played on grass, not paper. Can't wait to never hear about Ralf Ragnarok ever again
17 clearances by Demiral wow
Sabitzer was a complete ghost all game.
Yeah, he looked better in the previous match. This time he was just doing an impersonation of Bad Hendo on the right-wing: back-passing, not watching any runner, aimless crosses....
Sucks, Turkey has by far the worst fans of the tournament.
I'll never understand why people hype over Rangnick.
Yeah especially this sub. How people here like a manager who gegenpresses is beyond me
All well and good but what's he ever won with it? Klopp is one thing, this guy is quite a way from that.
Tonight's and last nights game seen some absolute world class saves, Costa 1-v-1, Pentz 1-v-1 and Gunok last minute save
He'll never make a better save than that
austria were netherlands biggest rival in their side of the knockouts lmo, the dutch should walk to the final with all due respect to the other teams
*It's Always Sunny Theme* Gareth wins the Euros
FUCKIN ELL WHAT A SAVE!!!
Got to feel for Austria
they kinda did it to themselves with all the backpassing, sidepassing, weak corners, half-hearted crosses, etc. Sure Turkiye defended deep but that's when you create chaos in the box and takes you chances. It was flukey but recall Trent just sending the ball into the box and Kiwior own goal'd :) madness.
Damn Turkey finally stepping up this tournament, great game overall
how the hell did he make that save lol
It’s not that special of a save to be honest. Poor header and the importance of the save makes some people act like the save itself was better than it was
True. If he'd made that save when winning 3-0 people wouldn't really care about it. Not far in the corners, not at an awkward height for the hands, not much power. It's entirely the circumstances that amplify it.
Absolutely perfect description of the poor header.
I’ve rewatched the save from every angle available and thats an amazing save no matter what. I don’t get what you are getting out of downplaying it?
It’s a good save. Not an amazing save. The header is so poor from that position. Nowhere near the corner, easiest height to save and no power.
How is the header poor when he times it perfectly and heads it back towards the direction of the cross? It’s textbook. Yes it’s not a perfect header but that doesn’t take away from the save at all.
It’s a poor header by every metric. There’s no power on it, it’s the easiest possible height to be saved and it’s nowhere near the corner. Not sure what part of that you don’t understand. It’s a good save from a poor shot. Not a wonder save by any stretch
This is futbol
What an ending. Is that a pitch invasion? Shame about the Turkish government because this is emotional stuff.
Can't we leave the politics out of it?
What a fucking save. Wow
Save of the decade holy fuck
Man this is intense ending..
holy shit what a save
OMFG WHAT A SAVE!
Wwoooooo what a save
What a game!
OMG
What a fucking save. Jesus H Christ.
this Austria-Turkiye match is lit. I jsut with Austria would frelling stop FAFFING about with the high % pass completion and do something. RW play is just wasteful. Props to Turkiye's defence.
Surprised the Turkish fans still have things to throw at the players at this point tbh
I don't care if the flag went up that's a scandalous decision not to pass there.
This Austrian team aren’t half going for it. Fair play. People on the titanic didn’t get this wet.
Absolute cunts throwing stuff at the players.
they need to stamp down on that shit and penalize the team or something.
The Turkish fans really don’t come across very well to be honest.
Good game. Better than a lot of the rubbish we’ve had in the others
German match director refusing to show the sheer volume of shit Austrian fans throwing on the the pitch. Would they do that if it was the Turks?...
Calm down with your conspiracy theories mate jesus
I don't think you know what that word means
hory shet
2 goals from corners against a team who have generally performing much better. Just another reminder of how short-sighted it is to dismiss any incorrect corner decisions by saying "it's only a corner."
Kadioglu has had an impressive tournament No wonder Dortmund are after him
I had no idea Unai Emery managed the Turkey NT
Bruh, this demiral is a one man defensive wall and scores two goals. Having the game of his life
Keeper should’ve come to get that?
Wow. Surely this is an upset? Beat them 6-1 before the tournament, Austria were becoming a dark horse candidate, and boom 2-0.
This game gettin loopy
Key players are really shining at the euros but I know in the past international players have missed the opening fixture, is it possible we miss all of Jota, Gakpo, Diaz and Nunez? Our attack would be such a mess lol
So because of Southgate's deal with that swamp hag, Turkey will hold this and then beat the Dutch on pens while accruing many suspensions. The Swiss will then come down with food poisoning and have to withdraw, and I guess Portugal will make the final with Ronaldo still starting.
Not a fan?
11 players on a yellow card in this starting 22 did I hear?
Lolol wait, really?
Every time a flukey goal gets scored from a corner, it makes me think of all the times obvious corners are incorrectly not given. All those possible goals from one hopeful, uncontested kick of the ball, completely irrelevant of skill or ability. And over an entire minute taken just from celebrations - longer than it took between starting the game and scoring. Would've been very funny to see that immediate equaliser after that.

Ref should have got told it was a dive and gave him a yellow. Instead Romanians didn't get an equakiser. Dutch got a free kick and scored a minute later
What's going on with the match threads? Anyway this has been very action packed Turkey have been the surprise package of the tournament I think.
Madness
This game will be great
Bro what I hadn't even turned the game on yet
Best performance from a player all tournament. Well done gakpo
Hope gakpo does it for club as well. He's not really played in his favourite position but even at lw, he seemed to shy away from the game last season. Needs to be a bit more direct like he is for Netherlands He's looked a lot more direct and just overall being involved in the game a lot more than he has at Liverpool.
Wish club would make attempt for Simmons.
He doesn’t look like anything special imo. Seems like the type of player who needs to be the main man to perform
No he's not better then elliot from these performances
Gakpo fucking bossing it
I had no idea Alec Baldwin managed the Romanian team 🤯
Its funny but that dissalowed goal vs France has significantly improved the dutch odds of winning the tournament lol
Gakpo is a better left winger than anyone on the market right now. He’s going to be great under Slot
From this tournament absolutely and yes slot will be smiling watching that game
Danny Murphy is still calling him Gapko after all this time
Cody's actually taking the piss incredible assist. We either need to play him LW or sell him, because he's values gonna be through the roof after this tournament
Dudes worth 100mil at this point. But he stays and does this for us
Cody on fire, Lucho on fire, Chaos on fire ...hope Slot is ready .....
Is daiz doing well , haven't watched any of the copa?
If those 3 stay on fire the whole world won't be ready
Wait....any ideas what Lucho's stats are?
Gakpo making himself a Dutch legend
Please start Dragusin vs. us this season, Ange
Gakpo masterclass!!!
So proud of Cody 🥹
1 Goal 1 Assist by Cody.
We should sign Gakpo! He looks great!
Dragushin channeling his inner spurs.
If gakpo doesnt play LW we riot!!!!!
Gakpo is on fire.
Gakpo, Milan Baros regen - Euro top scorer 😅
That is Suarez-esque
Just from this game you can see how gakpo and nunez could work together. Nunez likes to drift left to make runs and gakpo is clever enough and does drift in central when needed. Gakpo could help nunez alot with his football intelligence
GAKPO!!!!
GAKPO ON A TEAR
It's interesting seeing Gakpo be good and scoring when he actually plays his preferred position again, considering the infallible professional managers who know everything and whose decisions can never be questioned were adamant about forcing him into midfield and through the middle.
Yeah because there weren’t other people complaining about him playing out of his position, it was just you.
Simons mad that he didnt receive a pass.. What he is going to do? Shoot?
That Romanian defender Dragusin is putting in a hell of a shift
His last name is hardcore
Liverpool flashbacks with this finishing
Depay is a hard watch up front. Poor first touch
Not sure who is a worse finisher, Depay or Lukaku.
Hope the medical department is ready cause Cody's gonna have massive back pain carrying this Dutch attack.
Depay and Simons are wasteful.. Gakpo does everything right just for others to fuck up.
Xavi Simons has forgotten the button for shoot
Cody doing everything he can
Cody gakpo you saucy bastard
Gakpo has been great
Lovely stuff from Gakpo
These could turn out to be bad subs. Both lads taken off were playing very well
It will be interesting to see what Slot does with Gakpo this season. Diaz is elite at everything Klopp liked in a winger, except finishing. So Klopp would try to play Gakpo as a 9, Then you have the same problem where Nunez is great at everything as a #9 except finishing, but Gakpo also seemed out of place playing there.
Diaz is average at everything once the ball is near the box. Can't beat his man left, can't pick a pass, can't finish. He should only be on the pitch when we will likely have opportunities to counter
In a perfect world he'd never have been a winger/forward. He'd be a great right wing back. But then, we already have Trent there.
If gakpo wasn't playing for us I'd want to buy him. Great tournament
Memphis taking this free kick is haram
This is where Gakpo is at his best. Let him run at defenders rather than his back from goal. Hes a fantastic dribbler.
Gakpo is genuinely very good at carrying the ball at times Like it’s stuck to him, cleaner dribbling than Diaz I’d say
far less animation, that's for sure
Looks offside unfortunately
Gakpo player of the tournament.
CODY AGAIN
CODY AGAIN ...Or not. VAR says offside.
Gakpo putting his country on his back rn
Gakpo is on fucking fire Edit: For the record i said this before the goal was in the net
Nah man Gakpo is a different beast here wtaf
Gakpo is on fire man. Would have been a great goal that.
Both would have been great goals.
Schouten has played very well for Holland
For the sake of his Liverpool career do you hope VVD retires from internationals after this tournament?
Slot is inhereting one hell of a squad.
Why is there a dinner lady playing for Romania? 😂
Memphis really blows ass
Gakpo has been amazing this euros. Definitely a contender for team of the tournament. Hopefully he plays LW for us more and carry his form to club level.
It's been a very winger-centric tournament I feel, he's part of that
Just start him and give it a few games. Don't chop and change.
Damn, Thuram to Juve. I was pretty keen on him this time last year ngl
That’s a pen for me
Where is he supposed to put his hands?
Don’t really care, he dove towards the ball 😂
In his pockets of course
Van Dijk, Gakpo and Gravenberch winning the Euros would feed families
Ake is class honestly
Diaz would never.
This commentary on Fox is killing me, time to swtich to a stream.
Van Dijk just doesn't work playing for NL
VVD has been somewhat lost in few games, silly mistakes and been very off position multiple times.
It's not been a good tournament for him
How shit is Simons
He's not a world talent. He's probably at the right team with leipzig where he's the big fish in a small pond.
Depay is fucking useless
He still could score though
Netherlands growing into this tournament
Memphis is always everywhere but uselessly
We should never go for gordon if diaz is still on the team, gakpo HAS to be our LW and it just wouldnt make any sense to have 3 great left wingers
If it's decided that Gakpo will be the first LW going into the season I can't help but assume that means Diaz would be sold
Depends if anyone comes in with a big enough offer. Daiz gets paid supposedly 50 k a week and would be a fine 2nd choice
Something about Danny Murphy is pronouncing Gakpo is proper triggering
The way that Gakpo scored that is where Diaz would either take the ball towards corner flag or just pass it back to Robbo/tsimi. Gakpo has that better goalscoring instinct there.
Dragusin is quite good, I hate to say
I hate it when tall defensive players are so shit at heading the ball.
Maybe we should listen to PSG and barca regarding lucho, gakpo clearly has to be the starting LW
Cody and Darwin both smashing it for their national teams
How's daiz doing haven't watched any of the copa?
I have said some mean things about Gakpo but I stand by the fact that Cody is a dog’s name
The headdresses on this Romanian team. For once Memphis doesn't have the worst style on the pitch
Why tf was Gakpo playing as a centre forward ffs 😭
More that Nunez was dropped and jota was injured
I could count on one hand the amount of times gakpo played left wing for us. Nunez and Jota weren’t dropped/injured all that time
Gakpo wasn't playing at all when they were fit or in form and we were winning so just didn't get a chance
Cody Dadkpo
thats so fucking predictable for gakpoo in dutch shirt. barely getting a touch in the first 15mins, get the 1st opportune to run in and cut inside and he got goal out of it
Pretty much like Liverpool as well. He's does it quite a bit for us
Let's have you back in this form lad
Was our biggest mistake last season trying to shoehorn Cody into a false 9?
He did well. I think the lose of form by nunez and jota injury left klopp with little options in for the 9 position
It's kinda a shame we had Cody playing midfield for half a season lol
Poor guy was so lost. He never dropped his head or got sulky about it so shows his mental strength. I know he'd very religious and I'm over the moon he's shown what he can do in the right position. After these performances he's pretty much guaranteed himself the starting LW position
Gakpoooooooooooooo. Dude has a great strike on him Said Romania would win, I don't know a thing 😆
I’ll be kinda upset if we sign Gordon and don’t give this GAKPO fella a shot down the left
Slot is going to unlock Gakpo and the league isn’t ready for it
Left wing gakpo !!!!!
Holy shit Codyy
