Bravo Czech Republic!
I am happy to have been proved wrong and I am happy that our friends HayashiM and Etanna can rejoice in qualifying for the quarter-finals of Euro 2020
The whole Czech Republic played well, I was really surprised with their technical, fast passes and dribbles. The best players in the Czech Republic? Masopust and Shick very good while Holes was sumptuous
Now let's talk a little about the Netherlands and the game
A few pages ago, I wrote that the strength of the Netherlands was in the individuality in attack while in defense they were weak. The Netherlands also have a style of play that if they fail to dominate leaves plenty of room for the opponents. I also wrote in my messages that "The Netherlands would wake up with broken bones". But ... I believed that their limits would show them against Denmark or with the favorite teams for the win. If in addition to not playing well (Wijnaldum does not wake up) and the strength of the opponent, the very serious mistakes of De Ligt and Stekelemburg arrive... "the omelette is done"
As you can see, knockout matches "are ONE BY ONE a story unto themselves". Austria, which played a good group but without shining, put Italy in difficulty, while the Czech Republic, which played enough in the group and ended up among "the best third", literally paved the Netherlands that dominated in their group. Are we sure that Italy showed weaknesses yesterday? Each team is motivated, it starts from 0-0 and just one episode is enough to radically change the history of the match
Congratulations again to the Czech Republic
and I hope that Shick will not be accused of snorting cocaine in front of the whole stadium
I'm sorry to make this joke but the "healthy dissing" between opposing supporters is part of the game
Now let's see what happens between Belgium and Portugal. I believe that Belgium is still the favorite
