Netherlands take down Poland: UEFA Euro 2024 Group D reaction | ESPN FC

In a format where 1 win is enough to qualify, it takes true genius to be eliminated with 1 game left. Bravo Poland.

it's not Buska but Buksa

Zirkzee and Brobbey can samiliar job. Wafflers.

U must win we only can

Sorry but now u can see. We People from Poland need respect.

Agree, we need a world class striker again

lucky win for Netherlands. They didnt create any clear chance in the second half.

Africa vs Poland 2-1 😂 where is Netherlands ?

As if it was any accomplishment. Polish players are noutoriously inept at almost any physical activity. The way they play is pathetic.

All the elements are there. Depay, clubless, fully prepared, more eager and fit than ever. The best defensive options in Europe with talented middfielders and weapons of speed in the front.

What ultimately makes the real difference is that they want to grant each other, accept and know there place.

This could be ironic, winning the only mayor trophy also at the euro's in Germany 🎉 36 years ago 😅
However, I have a gut feeling Germany will win at the end

Bias is so evident. Praising mediocre Dutch team and 💩 on Poland. Netherlands played poorly because Poland got their tactics right and lost the game only due to lack of experience. If it was Italian team playing defensively, praising would go through the roof. Ridiculous.

Poland did create chances but their manager has them setup wrong, 5 in back is too cowardly. This Dutch team isn't anywhere close to their team's of the past, I was really dismayed by them and their lack of finishing touch. They've got no world class strikers on that squad, Depay is a converted wideman. If Poland played in the proper, offensive and creative 4-3-3 and pressed high well, they'd won this match even without Lewandowski-who is no longer the goal machine he used to be anyway. Blown chance by Poles, if they ended up with a draw then they might have had a chance at 4 points and advancement to knockout stage, now they are already out. Netherland up to quarters with this squad at the most. It's like teams are getting old, no bright new attackers coming through, Norway really messed up by not making it.

Schouten is like a ginger Busquets, simply amazing.

I don't get it, no replacement for Depay? and what about Malen? great season, unfortunately lost the CL final, but that says something about the level he plays

As soon as i saw the graphic on screen i immediately thought PEPSI COLA PEPSI COLA, I'll say it one more time, PEPSI COLA. Look at the Netherlands flag at the bottom of the screen in a circle. IT IS THE PEPSI LOGO. I bet the other mob with a red can and white writing must be really pissed off by this. Free advertising for PEPSI COLA on TV screens worldwide. It made me thirsty just seeing it and went and bought a 24 pack of PEPSI COLA. That would have cost them many millions had they paid for it. I LOVE PEPSI COLA. Hahahahahahahaha.

Nobody talked about the headband, only the journos and the pundits.

Koeman is so ill - mannered, he don’t great with polish Coach. But netherlands is famous for sense of superiority, what a shame.

How can expected goals of The Netherlands be just 1.47 if they litteraly had 6/7 open shots within 10 meters of the goal?

I don't think we played that bad. I feel these people judge the Dutch side while being unfamiliar with some of the players in it, especially midfield.

All these opinions are based on so little to go by. Germany impressed, against Scotland yes, but Scotland was beaten before tbey entered the field, it was like they were on a leash, just like Serbia in the first half.

We need turtle kane..

Gakpo and luis diaz cost Liverpool title with selfish glory hunting. Gakpo doing same to dutch team..

Worst players simons, gakpo, Dumfris... De vrij will struggle vs French fast forwards..

Replace Gakpo with Memphis on left.. Center bring Brobbey for Depay.. Take out useless Simons for Frimpong.. Replace Dumfries with geetruida... They have top team...

Watching out Poland..i just remember Zbiegnew Boniek..where is he know? Anyone knew?

Netherlands is Netherland..their collectivity is one of the best...they will move to next steps....

You talked about Poland like about San Marino. Few words, the rest of the debate about Netherdlands. Shame. We still played pretty well considering our potential, but you wont talk about it

Poland had more shots on target and holland first goal came from a poland mistake. Poland played a lot better than they have in the last world cups and euros. once their confidence grew they were playing better than holland but weren't able to convert that period into a winning goal. Holland was terrible in front of goal but eventually one of those chances were going in. overall good game. If Poland played with confidence from the start it would have been beter game.

Why are they talking only about Netherlands, there were two teams on the pitch. Lame.

Lucky dutch

Does anyone know why Lewandowski did not play? I assume injury but will he miss the whole tournament? Interesting as also Frenkie DeJong out so 2 x Barca boys missing.

Talk about the way england played😂😂😂 0-1

Mario Melchiot Holland echt waar het land heet Nederland niet Holland

When koeman eating boogers then you know the game is tight.

I've noticed interesting fact - dutch are just like english - as long as they're not winning their supporters DONT SUPPORT. Polish fans were dominating whole game just like on last De Kuip game in Rotterdam. "Amazing fans" when you win. When you have draw and losing they sit in silence.

Always funny to hear pundits that where not really good football players themselves judge players that are better than they were. Van Basten thought Depay did quite okay is more worth than the opinion of these jokers. By the way Netherlands where a lot more convincing then England. England was lucky to win. Did not see Kane in the whole match.

Poland 🇵🇱💪

Memphis depay is awful as a striker against big teams Holland should ditch him

You're saying Adam Buksa's name wrong
His name is not buska, but Buksa with a k before s.

Congrats Netherlands! ❤🎉

What did super England present against Serbia? Guarding the result from 15 min of the match only

Dont be shocked if dutch makes the long run in the tournament

Gakpo gonna have a big tournament

Memphis will definitely shine in this euro.

Netherlands I believe is one of the best teams out there in the world. They have so much talent and they seem to play with chemistry unlike some other teams

I am from Argentina but I am supporting Netherlands and Croatia this Euro! Good luck!! If not, then any other country just not overrated France!!

I agree with the lack of a top striker for the Dutch. It should have been 1 - 3 or even 4 for the Dutch. They played well and created enough chances and half-chances. They just weren't clinical enough in finishing.

Keep underestimating us. All good Mr Burley.
