With de Boer as manager? No way. Netherlands under Koeman did had a chance at reaching out the final, but not anymore.


The Netherlands won't win indeed. Regardless of Koeman or de Boer as trainer.

It lacks in the attack, wings, and the keeper is weak too.

Going through the center isn't the way to beat the Netherlands. With de Ligt (if he can play), de Vrij they have a strong defense. In the midfield there is de Jong and Wijnaldum. Probably a Blind or de Roon too. In front it has Depay.

In short, Netherlands lacks a bit, but will be a tough opponent for all to beat. Not a team to easily win against, but France, England, Spain, Germany and even Belgium should be able to do so.

Just one match. Even the greatest lose some times. That just makes them even greater.

LIVERPOOL RULES

The same Liverpool that at one point nearly didn’t qualify for the Europa League, couldn’t beat West Brom who got relegated, and were defeated by Real Madrid in the champions league quarter finals? You’re evidently not the greatest since you can barely muster a defender, whereas Villa have multiple playing internationally.
Also, 1980-81
Couldn’t beat Villa to the title then, either.

According to your logic, Real Madrid are shittier than Valencia because they have zero players playing internationally for Spain while Valencia has one.

Meanwhile, there are people out there who dub Jack Grealish and Ollie Watkins as the next Ballon d'Or winners just because they scored against Liverpool or City or Chelsea. Those are the same people that jumped on the Michael Owen hype train because he won a mini treble and scored one wondergoal, and he turned out to be an injury prone mercenary.

You'll be feeling so wrong on 11 july. :p
and Cillessen is not going to the EC.

Fun fact, none of those teams won in their last match against Oranje. ;)

If I am feeling wrong on July 11th it's only because feeling happy would be life threatening. I do still live in Germany :o

Also, I did not mention Cillessen , just that the keeper is weak. If not Cillessen then Krul, or Stekelenburg? I prefer the former, but still, eh, not the world class that is needed for an EC win.

Then I would have to include Poland, Russia, and Croatia. I mean, there are a spate of other countries and people might of course go after me for not including Sweden or Switzerland or Ukraine or whatever.

Also, if anybody's going to badger me over not including England, it's under the moniker "It's Coming Home." Which is the most English thing I can think of.

I wouldn't badger you about excluding England.

I've been doing that since their Brexit referendum :lol:

Why just say England in the poll when I can just use the heavily-cliched "it's coming home" for them? Granted, English fans are chanting that every tournament and come back disappointed basically every single year.

They could use a goalkeeper. And there’s grass.

If England fail to beat a Croatia squad packed to the brim of old players this year, then the entire national team should be seemed an embarrassment just like in 2016 with Iceland.
