As a true Austrian fan with true Austrian mentality: just like I knew that we would finish this group with 0 points right after the own goal against France, I now expect them to become world champion in this european turnament (at least). Great analysis, btw! 🙂
Group B - on paper the group of death. Group D - actually was the group of death. Group A - very nearly saw an on field death. Group C - bored everyone to death.
After 2 very bad performances from Bellingham, it seems so obvious to put him as an 8 and move Foden into the 10 position. Bellingham could utilise his tenacity and get more involved in the game, while Foden would feel more comfortable in his natural position and make more happen Then I would start Gordon on the left to spread out the front 4 and offer some pace in behind
Bro, I hate the narrative around the Netherlands as if they were some kind of title favorite like England they’re not they never were. They were just as much of a contender as Austria, which is why it’s not an upset was the hottest teams coming into the euros, and the announcers are talking about Marco Van Bastian in the fucking 80s! They have no stars outside of VVD and Koeman is a failed coach
@@Orca472 but the point is they were always on the same level AT BEST with Austria. I understand it’s biased British commentary who can’t help themselves form talking about England but I watched one half and the comparisons were nonstop. Netherlands never had the pressure England had
The f you are on about? Austria did not even make it last world cup, Holland lost to Argentina in the quarters to penalties after 2-2.. Also excellent qualification to euro from a group with France. And you don't need to go back to Van Basten, dudes played final in 2010 on worldcup.. Also they won a worldcup before. Austria can just dream about these kind of level of football over time, just because they had two good games in groups don't wet yourself that they gonna do any better in knockout. Lol they beat Holland eith basically 2 own goal I mean..
@@Vismajor01 That world cup was two years ago with a different coach. They're not the same team. And Holland has never won the world cup. They've won the Euros once, and pretty sure they have the most 2nd place finishes with 3 in the WC. Netherland did not have a good qualifier lmao. Blown out by Frane then beaten by them again. Struggled against Ireland. In the Nations league they shit the bed against Italy and Croatia. Lost their friendly to Germany. What am I supposed to throw a pizza party for smashing Scotland? lmao Austria pre tournament beat Germany convincingly, Serbia, Slovenia, Swedan, Italy, Croatia (twice), and smashed Turkey. They have shown the world over the last year that they have one of the best offenses in international football whereas top teams like France, England, Argentina, etc. can't find the back of the net to save their life rn.
