Refreshing contrast to ponderous England.
0-0 but all France so far.

England look good when we play a team actually trying to play football. It's when we play a team who just shove 11 behind the ball that we look a bit clueless & pedestrian. Unfortunately a lot of the smaller nations play like that against us.
I was vaguely annoyed at having the tellybox monopolised (I can't really disappear to the other room on our wedding anniversary) but this has really cheered me up. I'm missing village idiot Andy Townsend. Pleasing.How I've missed Andy Townsend.

I know where you're coming from, but the quality on show is a step up from England in recent times. Pogba just scored a thunderbolt, 1-0 La Belle France.

We've been much better than the Dutch for the last few years - results & performance. They've been pretty poor tonight too.
In the past six years they've been to a World Cup final and a semi final.
Watched them live last year (against Wales) and you are quite correct. They're reliant on an aging Robben, who is still a player, the rest are so-so.Holland have fallen into the bang average category, having enjoyed relative success over recent years.
Last few years as in last couple.
They're horrendous now.

Fair enough. They certainly seem to be of late.

Ah, go on then. Was trying to resist but it's always worth a repost....I thought I'd escaped Andy "State the obvious" Townsend when I moved to Toronto. Sadly, many of the Premier League matches on Sportsnet feature the bellend himself, alongside Peter "As many hyperboles as possible" Drury. It's like ITV football is following me everywhere I go.
