May 31, 20214 yr u21 Netherlands knocks off France with a late counter and game winner. Spain and Croatia going into extra time.
May 31, 20214 yr U21's are playing today. ESPN and ESPN+ Netherlands vs France Spain vs Croatia Denmark vs Germany Portugal vs ItalyI’m on a plane and got locked into this Portugal/Italy game. What a game. Wide open game from minute 1 and we’re in the second half of extra time. 4-3 and 10-man Italy just missed a chance to tie it by inches.

I thought the 2nd yellow was harsh.

"Benzema and Griezmann just aren't getting it done so far" "Alright guess we'll have to sub in Giroud and Dembele and hope for a miracle" I mean obviously there's a few stacked teams - it's the Euros - but that France attack is like 2002* Brazil level. thing i am most interested to see is what happens when mbappe actually has a true finishing 9 to play with. he has never really had that before...and certainly not the quality of benzema. if benzema can anticipate and finish near the goal for whatever mbappe sets up for him, it will be deadly. oh by the way, there's griezmann on the other side just waiting. but they screwed them on that group. one of france, germany, and portugal aren't making it out of group.

Uhh . . . Cavani?

June 2, 20214 yr I had no idea Jorginho's first name was Frello. Edit: Well apparently no one does... Wiki says its Jorge Luiz Frello Filho. Edited June 2, 20214 yr by dieucla98

June 2, 20214 yr Griezmann against Wales https://streamwo.com/s7bg52e I'm thinking this French team might be a problem. Also Haaland in extra time to lift Norway over Luxembourg https://streamja.com/KGr6y
June 3, 20214 yr Looking forward to tomorrow’s broadcast of the U21 games. Rooting for Germany. That Italia v Portugal game was a lot of fun.
June 3, 20214 yr Author Well they are coached by a guy who was fired by an MLS team last year....For the life of me I don’t understand how he got the job. I love de Bour, but he’s a shitty coach. Erik ten Hag is absolutely perfect for this job and coming into a great generation of Dutch players, many of which he has already coached at one time.

Erik ten Hag is absolutely perfect for this job and coming into a great generation of Dutch players, many of which he has already coached at one time. Managing at the club level is a lot more interesting and challenging than at a national team, where you rarely get to work with players or shit, even manage games. The stakes are higher but you have far less control and fewer opportunities for success. I can't really think of any in-demand manager in their prime who's chosen country over club, with the possible exception of Jogi Loew, who seems perfect for the role. National team gigs are more desirable for managers in the twilight of their career. Or in the case of de Boer, the only gig he can get.

June 3, 20214 yr I asked my Godson if he knew any of the guys on the U21 German squad and he said, yeah and that he has played against a bunch of them Edited June 3, 20214 yr by PittsburghTiger
June 6, 20214 yr England fans booing their players, half of whom are black, for kneeling before the match. How Eastern European of you England.
June 6, 20214 yr contrast between uefa and concacaf stark with england's 2nd pk (which henderson missed) the call for the spot kick would have been waived off over here romanian (first name vlad) launched himself over top of calvert-lewin in the box it was so unorthodox in concept and execution that no way would a concacaf non-us/canadian ref have whistled it despite obliterating the english attacker

June 11, 20214 yr So pumped for this. A month of great matches everyday during the groups, then every other day or so in the knockouts.

June 11, 20214 yr Author I'm picking the Dutch! To get my hopes up, only to get crushed by like Slovakia in the knockout rounds.
June 11, 20214 yr darkhorse pick: Denmark. i'm not saying this will be a repeat of 1992, but this team has some good players in key positions. Schmeichel in goal; Christensen at center-back; Eriksen, Hojbjerg, and Delaney in the midfield; Braithwaite and Poulsen up top. they can give Belgium some trouble in Group B. oh, and Denmark plays all of its group stage matches in Copenhagen. Belgium is getting fucked. they play Denmark in Copenhagen and Russia in St. Petersburg. Edited June 11, 20214 yr by Jive Turkey

June 11, 20214 yr The Dutch with a coach who was fired by an mls team and doesn’t know who is on his roster. Hard pass. Now they probably win it
