Administrators Lucas Posted July 2 Administrators Share Posted July 2 Hope Romania can do this. Simons for Netherlands has impressed me so far this tournament. Really looking forward to this one, I think has a decent chance of going to ET and not being boring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFuller Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 This has the makings of a surprisingly good game. 3-1 win for the Dutch, but Romania to hold their heads high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakiie Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Frimpong in the possible line up under Koeman? As if that would happen. Yes, suddenly Bergwijn. Looks like Koeman found that RW Ajax was looking for. If it confuses the Romanians half as much as the Dutch fans it might actually be a tactical masterstroke. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Koeman will never take those two off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
