I mean he's 38. 

I was surprised Bergkamp didn't get the call up. 

He's only 38?! Damn he looks a lot older.

You're totally right though that that's a funny question. He hasn't played for ze Dutch in 5 years and last played real European football in 2019.

Dammit, I zoned out after the 1st game and forgot to switch channels.  It's not that I missed anything, but I was forced to endure 15 seconds of Skip Bayless before figuring it out.

We'll add the channels to the threads from now on.

Iranian keeper has to have a broken nose. Probably a concussion too. 
 

England is tall AND fast. 
 

Iran 🇮🇷 is probably going to switch keepers. What a fucking bummer for the Iranian #1. He lasts about 9 minutes, if that. Less than that. 

The keeper smashed his face on his teammate’s forehead with 7:15 on the game clock.

He wants to stay in, but he had to change his kit.

His nose is huge… even without the smack.

The restart came at 15;38.

Hey man I usually consider lasting 9 minutes a resounding success.

Netherlands are by far the best team without a WC title.

Who is 2nd on that list?

Belgium, and I'm not sure that isn't a 1/1A thing.

 

EDIT - with the Netherlands being 1A

Edited by Captain Ron

Hard question. Croatia? The Czechs? yes, and Belgium.

Captain Ron knows his shit.

Netherlands are way in front of Belgium (7 more wins, +38 GD compared to -4 for Belgium and 4 podiums compared to 1 for Belgium).  

This game would be a lot cooler if Mane was playing.

Netherlands is definitely 1. They have 3 runner ups and a Euro. Belgium has one 3rd place and a Euro runner up. 

I've been out on the Dutch every since that disgraceful 2010 final. Let's go Senegal!

Fair.

 

Belgium has their golden generation right now and have been really good, just not able to put it together. I'm not the history buff you are.

Perfectly on display there, just brought in wholesale changes, and it was ANOTHER group of first team talent. And they just scored. 

Foden, Grealish and Rashford off the bench isn’t fair.

I’m happy England has to play 24 extra minutes in this heat. 

 

It’s not hot there.

Portugal says “Hello [in Portuguese]!”

In the past, Hungary 🇭🇺 was probably in this conversation, but they haven’t done shit for decades. 

Was really hoping to see some paid Qatari in African garb.

I was thinking Portugal as well. They just haven't had a good history at the WC - but they do have a Euro. 

Is this COVID spacing in the stands?

The attendance is maybe 50%.

I have never seen such shitty attendance at a World Cup.

Honestly - Mexico is near the top of that list. But they haven’t had good history at the WC either.

It’s why they were offering some free conditional trips.

The Netherlands' orange doesn't seem right this go-round

Fair.

I’ve got Sweden behind Holland. 1 runner up and 2 Third Place finishes.

This "feels" like a competitive match even without Mane

They're a $230M side. 

Portugal only played in 2 of the first 16 World Cups and 1 of the first 9 Euros.

This is the first good match of the tournament. These are both well stocked teams with European playing talent.

How did the Netherlands bottle that?!?!?  They didn't even get a shot off!!

That was looking like a beautiful goal then Frenkie happened

Needed to take that shot and either beat the keeper or generate a save that can be put away by the guys in the middle.

It also seems like the Dutch should be up 3-0.

These are two tone jerseys with the crest lion in the 2nd shade.

I was wondering if they had a tie dye look or it was sweat patterns.

Per the Guardian:

79 min: The official attendance of this match is 45,334. The stadium has a 68,000 capacity. Oh Fifa.

 

Too bad that's not the revenue stream that FIFA cares about

We're gonna pack a raucous 95k in to every single game in '26 and then FIFA will give the '30 tournament to fucking Belarus.

Saudi is preparing a strong bid.  [serious]

Senegal is looking dangerous. Dutch gonna fuck around and find out unless they get on the score sheet.

I hope they do. I took the +550 on Senegal.

Beautiful cross
