Decent team, the Moroccans. 👍

Would’ve been a crime had the Netherlands won. Cowardly tactics against a nation they ridicule.

HE looks shot to bits tbh. He looks like he just woke up! From the crypt!

That's what you get from Havertz - a brilliant goal and everything else he did was garbage. Diving. Missing. Wrong movement you name it.

AND he missed his pen.

Lovelyyy.

That's a one way to look at it.
The other is that he's the only decent attacker they've got.
Another one, anyone who starts freaking Sane deserves to go home. 😀

JN has got a number of things seriously wrong. Herr Klopp, as a TV pundit, sitting in judgement. Job is his if he wants it.

Both Germany and the Netherlands out in the first round of knockout matches and on penalties, who would have bet on that!

Belgium and Senegal could be interesting too.

Seeing Havertz miss a penalty made the late night worth it. That Germany goal should have stood in my opinion, but having said that, justice for Lampard!

Sane is such a weird player. I thought he was quality at City, but after every season at Bayern, he seemed to get worse and worse. It's like the guy just doesn't care. He misses chances that he should bury easily, it's like he does it on purpose 😆

I'm going to Amsterdam next week, kinda bummed I won't be able to soak in a dutch game in a fanzone or bar.

Hilarious shoot-out. Congratulations/commiserations @Valerie

f**k the Netherlands team, @PloKoon13 . As per usual the players were plotting their way to the final only to lose their nerve in the umpteenth penalty shoot-out. Lovely 😄

Those Dutch penalties were . . . .

I'm with Klopp on this one !!

Arsenal scored 60% of their goals like that - Klopp

Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, working for German television during the World Cup, likened Tah's disallowed goal to many which Premier League champions Arsenal had scored throughout the season.

Klopp told MagentaTV: "If the goal is illegal, then Arsenal won't be English champions. They've scored 60% of their goals that way.

Val, remember when Steve McLaren managed a Dutch club and he spoke English but with an hilarious Dutch accent?

I just wondered if living there has affected your accent in the same way ??!?!

I was looking through an old best of the "Eagle Comic" book in a second hand bookshop recently.

For the 1966 edition there was a World Cup " pin-ups section

Brazil had Pele as their"pin-up "

Portugal had Eusebio

And England's pin up was ... Nobby Styles!

“The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore” - Walker Brothers.

Worldie. That aside, Norway pretty average.

Ivory Coast suffering with same problem we have. Still looking for a centre-forward who is even half as good as Drogba.

Silly historically inaccurate Norway fans wearing helmets with horns. Vikings didn’t wear them in battle. A 19th century fantasy.

Yan Diomande really worth £100m? Feels like you’d need to be very patient hoping that one works out.
