    We were shit, Greece was shit, and the ref & VAR were shit. Just a giant shit show but we got the job done.

        Honestly, makes me ashamed to be Greek and root for the greek team.

        Let’s see how we do on the playoffs.

        If I were a player I’d bring back the Edgar Davids look for a day and rock a pair of laser safely glasses.

    What an embarassing match for the Dutch. Koeman is the biggest fraud manager of all time

    - AEK’s owner should be ashamed of himself for the state of the pitch. This is a brand new stadium, you can’t be bothered to have the grass in good condition ?

    - The Spanish referee showed why Lahoz was the best Spanish referee for years.

    - We played quite well given our lack of talent in many positions, if we were a bit luckier we could have got points today.

    - We should be able to beat Kazakhstan at home and then if we are mentally ready, beat Georgia or Luxembourg and make it to the Euro.

    PS. I already see comments about the lasers again, so I will post it again, that if there are matches with fans in Greece, there will be lasers. In football, basketball, volleyball, handball, everything. In penalties, free throws, serves…no you can’t stop them from having them, in Greece the ultras bring whatever they want inside, the police doesn’t do their job, the laws aren’t upheld. You would have to either reshape Greek society and institutions or have all matches in Greece without fans. No other solution.

      What do you mean about lasers blud? 💀 In our gate they opened It 5 minutes before the match because they realized they were too slow for the normal “checking your ticket+checking If you carry anything Illegal”. I could have easily see the match without a ticket today. But worse Is I could have been In the stadium with something Illegal and we saw today what happened 😭

    Koeman vindt het jammer dat er geen penalty specialisten zijn.

    Ik kan me die van Koopmeiners nog wel herinneren.

      Koopmeiners en Memphis moeten zich beledigd voelen. En tja, die waren er nu niet bij, maar Bergwijn kan er ook een aardig paar goede nemen

    I’m not sure what Koeman was doing in the second half. First half wasn’t exactly totaalvoetbal but we invited the press and had some decent attacks and a missed pen. We didn’t have much control at all in the second half and basically had massive gaps between the lines and attackers on an island. Van de Ven at left back meant a few dangerous possession losses in the build up and made their press much more effective. I some some Steijnbal in the end with us spamming long balls on Brobbey with a hopelessly out of form Bergwijn to his left. He obviously did well to win the penalty and we won in the end but it wasn’t due to great game management.

    Should have had 4 penalties but whatever.

    I dont want to see Weghorst in the NT ever again.

        He’s one of those momentum footballer’s you bring in in the last 15 minutes to annoy the fuck out of everyone and force mistakes with tireless running lol.

          It’s just so annoying that his ego makes him throw a massive hissy fit when he isn’t starting. Can’t wait until we have Memphis and Gakpo back

      Only 4? It was close to 16 penalties and 9 reds against greece for NL. Disgraceful refereeing

            1. It is not a “support hand” if he goes out of his way to move his hand towards the ball. 2&3. 😂😂😂
            2. Glad we at least agree on something.
