Yep good game that, could quite like Netherlands to finish 2nd so that they end up playing Italy hopefully in the last 16 :D

And to make Group C more interesting 9 goals scored in their first round matches between them :o

I just switched on at the Gini goal and what a ride that second half was.

 

Netherlands the exciting team on paper with a strong attack and crap defence!

I watched the Netherlands v Ukraine match last night, as someone who wasn't really supporting either it was a fantastic game to watch - so much action all the way through and then five goals when we really weren't expecting them!

Austria forward Marko Arnautovic has said he is "not a racist" after a heated goal celebration during Sunday's Euro 2020 win over North Macedonia.

 

Arnautovic, who has Serbian heritage, had to be restrained by captain David Alaba as he celebrated his late goal.

 

 

 

Same controversy as Shaqiri vs Serbia in WC 2018.

Another high scoring match this afternoon?

Quite the game this - second pen of the game this time to Ukraine to pore by silly make it 3-1

Saved!!!

 

It stays 2-1

Dutch penalty incoming?

 

And Depay scores from the penalty to open the scoring for the Netherlands.

Half-time: Netherlands seem to be on top of this one so far, they've had a few more that could have gone in. Hopefully Austria can spring a surprise in the second half?

How did that stay out, like a pinball machine there.

Finally, the Dutch score a second.

Denzel Dumfries is the second player ever to score in his first two European Championship games for the Netherlands, after Ruud van Nistelrooy

An alright game I think, Austria did get a couple of chances but I can't particularly say I was glued to the telly!

Austria are a bit lightweight and sometime tedious to watch.

Guess which idiot forgot to make his Fantasy Football subs and has Wijnaldum on the bench right now :mellow:
