Netherlands lead early with a nicely played out goal.

2:0 Netherlands. Cruising.

4:0 Netherlands. Sweden just terrible today and Netherlands clinical.

Netherlands got the job done 5-1 over Sweden in their second World Cup group F match.

 

[Beretta]

Yep.

Pre tournament "dark horse" = bottom of the group.

Which idiots always call them a dark horse? They are terrible.

BTW that red card for Almieron is a joke. Games gone soft.

There's just some trend where a lot of pundits choose Turkey. Some promising players and maybe memories of the 2002 run.

Ivory Coast leading Germany 1-0 at the half.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Deniz Undav scores in the 68th minute for Germany to level the scores at 1-1. Nadiem Amiri with the assist.

 

[JS96]

Tense closing stages with both teams having chances. I was hoping for Ivory Coast to win to put Germany on a different path.

 

[JS96]

Germany take the lead late. FFS that's terrible marking and defensive height.

Keeps them as a very likely Australian opponent if we finish 3rd.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Deniz Undav scores in the fourth minute of second half stoppage time for Germany to get his brace and give them a 2-1 lead. Felix Nmecha with the assist.

 

[LFC]

Top hit

 

[JS96]

Ivory Coast should be fine for 2nd by beating Curaçao. Who knows if the island nation will do something to Ecuador later. Unlikely.

 

[jimshady]

Some touch and finish that

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Germany ran out 2-1 winners over the Ivory Coast in their second World Cup group E match.

That pass to Undav for the winning goal for Germany was superb and his turn and shot in the same class.Cote d'Ivoire played their part in another flowing game.

Yep superb pass and control knock out blow late - a close good game

I got up at 2.30 am to watch Netherlands v Sweden expecting a close fought game.The Dutch had the match won in the first 20 minutes with 2 goals to Brobbey.He is a real physical specimen and is lethal in the box.Sweden came back after the hydration/commercial break and the Dutch keeper had to make some smart saves.However after half time another couple of goals to Gapko put the game well out of reach.Elanga scored a screamer for the Scandinavians but Summerville completed the rout.
The Dutch played a very smart game with measured build ups then a quick thrust into the Swedish final third.Sweden's defence was picked apart but they did test the Dutch keeper quite a few times.
